That looks dirty, in a good way

 

So much win

 

what dip colors did you use to make this color?

 

I am still do to do my top.

 

Really nice result! Thats a clean sedan you have there!

 

Should have shot some glossifier over them. I did and my gold rims look great, and not flat.

 

Looks great, not sure yet what I want. Everyone at work said to go black. But idk, that Teal looks sweet.

Sent from my LGL86C using CobaltSS

 

i KNEW i should have gone with teal

 

Your wheels are sick!

 

i hope they look dope as that

 

I bet they do. My wheels were that color before.

 

So I have decided to take the plunge and will be purchasing the whole car kit from the website and was wondering what exactly I should purchase to dip the entire car pearl white. I want to use the white pearl powder but am unsure of how exactly to go about it. I will purchase the grey as a base coat due to the websites recommendations. Does anyone know if I can get a good enough base coat from only a gallon of grey or will I need two? Also when it comes to the white pearl do I need to just purchase gallons of clear and glossifier, mix those and add the pearl white powder to that; or do I actually need to buy white dip as well? Im thinking 3-4 gallons total should be more then enough to do the entire car with good coverage. so am I looking at 2 gallons of clear and one glossifier gallon? or do I need to do one clear, one white, and one glossifier. this is the only thing I am confused about. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I just emailed them the other day, it might help you.

For a base coat (depending on your car color for number of coats needed) you need 2 coats. Then the pearl color will be about 4-6 coats.

The pearl colors are purchased this way:

Clear gallons if plasti dip and you mix whatever pearls you want in.

If you mix pearl powders into an already existing color, it will be worthless and the pearl won't even show.

If you have a lighter color car, 2 coats of grey would be fine. If it's black or a blue, I'd go with an extra coat or two. The more dip, the easier to peel off later.

As to the number of gallons needed for everything, they need to know exactly what car. I haven't got around to emailing them back, what car I have. I guess I should.

From what I know... 3 gallons of normal dip will cover a Cobalt with about 5 or so coats.

I'd say a gallon of grey (if you have money to blow, I'd suggest 2 gallons), and 3 gallons of the clear dip for pearls.

 

^ this pretty much explains what you need to do.

Because I'm assuming you have a black car (sig) I'd recommend going with 1 gallon of the gray or black, maybe two just to be safe. You'd rather have it cost a tad more but peel easy, trust me..

Took me close to 4 gallons to cover my car (white originally) with proper coverage.
I've been fooling around with the new pigment colors from DYC on black base coats and they typically cover properly in 4-6 coats.
No idea how the white pearl will cover over a dark base but that's just something you'll have to play with.
Might not be a bad idea to goof around with some test samples before you make the big purchase, just to see what happens.

If you do wanna dive in head first though, I'd get two gallons of the gray or black for the base and then 1 gallon matte clear & 1 gallon glossifier.
Then, obviously you'll need your pearls. 100g total, 50g per gallon of clear.

The problem with getting 3 gallons of clear is that there is no way to 50/50 mix the matte clear and glossifier. You'd have to get 4 and that could get spendy..
But.. then again, you could just go ahead and order 4 (2 matte clear & 2 glossifier) and then use a little bit of each to run tests before you do the real thing on your car.

 

Black and copper metalizer. If you do a couple light coats of the metalizer it is a dark bronze. The more coats you add the more copper it looks.

 

It looks good.

 

 

I don't think I have ever seen a g5 sedan around here.

 

Pursuit/G5 GT sedans were only sold in Canada I believe.

 

Pretty cool looking!

 

i like the flat black going along the side of the car

i don't think ive seen a g5 sedan either lol

 

I wish gm had offered the lsj and lnf in the G5.

 

^ same bloody cars just a diff front grill lol u want an LNf "g5" buy an LNf and slap a Pontiac grill on

 

I know that! GM I feel dropped the ball.

 

I thought the ones sold in the states were called G5 GT sedans and in Canada they were called the Pursuit.
