***New Paint Job***
 

My BB was recently involved in a hail storm and now she's in the shop getting fixed. I want to go with a PEARL black as the whole entire car will have to be repainted. What do you think about going with the PEARL and I also would like to ask if anyone has any ideas or images on what I might can do to make this paint job look nasty!!



Thanks====z

my car use to be BB and it was repainted to pearl black or black mica, same as the black mica used on the mazdaspeed 3. ill try to get some pictures of my car tomorrow after i wash it down.

its a nice looking color if infact it is the same as the black mica. post some pics after its done. as far as making it nasty, i cant really think of anything, 2 tone is the only thing that comes to ming

Yes, please post the pics after the wash. What is the diff between mica and pearl? I wasn't real sure on how to make it nasty either. I like the two tone, but can't find any really good images to even start getting any ideas. May just end up going with the pearl. The bodyshop is game for anything. I'm working with some really cool guys and they want to trick it out also.

i think mica and pearl are basically the same. mica = metallic with is the pearly sparkle you would see when u look at a stormy blue mica rx8.

IMO Matte Black is SEXY.

It's a different style than what most are used to and it's not flashy - but it sure is mean looking on a fixed up 8.

get White!!!!

I would get white if I could change it's color. But then again... thats not very exotic....

here's a picture of what i'm talking about

^ wow dude THAT is sweet

seriously....I would sacrifice a limb to have that color..........




































ok maybe not, but i still really really want that color...:boink:

Oh now that's NASTY!!!!

I'll have to that to the guys at the shop. You wouldn't happen to know the paint codes for that color would you?

Unfortunately I don't off hand. :icon_no2: I'm sure someone can chime in here tho...

a guy on hear named rotarypoisonstar painted his BB to pearl. definitely nothing real special.. if i were getting my whole car repainted i would do an exotic type color thats not oem looking. oh wait.. i did!

MATTE BLACK FTW!! :rock:

yeah dude i would go for MATT black all the way makes me wish i had hail damage...


ok no i dont wish that on my car

Just wait Atilla. :eyetwitch

Easy...you do this to your car and i'll be on your car more than those chicks at your shows...

..........seriously.......i'm not joking

:boink:

You'll like it. Just bring a towel to clean up the mess.

i thought you had Ti-Gray, not very exotic. :lol:

Just to let u know, matte black is awesome, but don't do it!!!

The problem is as soon as somebody brushes by it or rubs it, it gets polish marks and you cant clean it the way you can a clear coat. if you try to buff it, it makes it worse. A friend of mine just painted his miata matt black and same thing happened to him, and his dumbass works at a paint and body shop, so it did'nt cost him nothing to redo it.

Me and my boy that works at the same body shop just finished my car a couple weeks ago.

here ya go, got more pics, but dont feel like downsizing right now, these are just cell phone pics.

here's a couple more

Do something different....custom colors with a good 2 tone scheme

Once you go Black...

Pearl Black sounds good.

uggh!

I actually like two tone car's but it brings a lot of attention - sometimes it's a good thing - but a lot of time it brings a lot of the wrong kind :icon_no2:
