Looking the goods there Jay! I like what you have done with the colours, doing your own thing and making it work, Well done Mate, can't wait to see her finished.

You must be having some swell weather up in the mountains of late. I thought you blokes would be skiing. :lol:

JAY :D :D :D :D :D
Jay, still keen to learn a bit more about pearl and metalic paints.

Where did you get your paint from ?
Base was White, that part was easy.
Was the pearl pre-mixed, or did you buy the pearl flake and add it to the paint yourself ?
If you added it yourself, did you add it to clear or to a white paint.
Then the Clear again over the top, that parts also easy. :D

Thanks Garry :wink: :D

:) Finny
if you want white pearl like mine i can give you the paint
code for the base white and the pearl top coat and you can
go to your local auto paint store and they will mix it up for
you, the white pearl is like its own color they just make it up
to the code just like any other color :wink:
or find a car that has the pearl color you like e.g. mine is off the
suzuki sx4, subaru also has a pearl white color then get the paint
code off it sholud be on the car somewhere on a tag
let me know if you want the color codes :wink:
Jay :) :)
