The color has a bit of a teal hue to it but they look great

 

:-( why for you get rid of the orange???????????? it looked so badass!!

 

Pics? That sounds like a neat idea

 

did my back wheels the other day. and yes I know, my rotors could use some love

 

Anthracite

 

close up anthracite plz

 

how are these??

 

better, did you not use gloss? Maybe thats why they look a bit different.

 

nooo, I like the Matte finish

 

Quick edit of my new idea

 

Was going to redo it with white base coat, but by the time I got to doing it I researched it more and found out it would fade too soon so figured I'd go with a different color. Right now it's down to matte white and nimbus grey...

Are those anthracite or black with silver metalizer?

 

Good question haha. It was just some gray I found on the color wheel in my photo editor.
Can't decide I want to go with anthracite or charcoal gray on the wheels.

 

Go with black with only a couple of coats of metalizer. Will give you darker look while looking awesome if you don't want them to be as metallic as mine.

 

So I ended up going with my own mix of "Aviator Grey"... It's almost identical to the color we painted our Navy jets... It's dark out so I only have a copule of sneak peek pictures. First thing is first...

In the mix:

• 1 Gallon of sprayable Gunmetal Grey PD
• 2 Gallons of sprayable White PD
• 1 full can of Silver Metalizer (left over from the wheels project)
• 6 grams of Silver Pearl EX powdered pigment
• 6 grams of Interference Violet Pearl Ex powdered pigment
• 6 grams of Duo Red-Blue Pearl Ex powdered pigment

Mixed everything in a 3.5 gallon bucket (pre-mixed silver metalizer through the straw with all the Pearl Ex powders in about 10 OZ of Naphta thinner, then dumped into a bucket)





Left my hood, roof, trunk, cross bar, mirrors, and pillars undipped since I wrapped them in CF vinyl a few weeks ago. Let me know what you think. Will take more pictures later.

 

^ Reminds me of the crashed, plastidipped primered-looking LSJ for sale on here a while back.

 

I like it. Was going to go gray on mine too. Does look like primer but still looks sharp to me

 

Well, this one isn't LSJ, isn't crashed, and DEFINITELY isn't for sale. :P .
Thanks. That's the look I wanted. Reminds me of the military jets I used to work on in the navy.

 

Another quick shot from this morning...

 

did they really spray paint parking lines in gravel? o.O

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note booyahh

 

Yep. That's Intel for you...



. Got home and took a few more pictures...













And a close up with a phone...

 

Nobody else plastidips anything anymore? I'm borderline considering dipping mine camo now that I have the "aviator grey" primer looking base for it...

 

Will be doing a full dip in the coming weeks! You're not alone haha

 

awesome. post some pics when completed.

 

Definitely. Ordered 3 gallons of light blue, 1 gallon of black and 1 gray. Hoping to mix the light blue and black to get a dark blue and then go gray on the wheels, spoiler, and maybe some other little things.

 

really thinking about getting the new Lime green thats coming out next week.....It would be wild.
