You do know about the possible consequences of dipping fresh clear coat that hasn't had a few months to air out all the chemicals, right?....

As in possibly hazy clear that will need to be re-buffed or re-done?

Just a fair warning. Looking out for a brother...

Obviously cell phone pic won't do the color justice, but you get the idea.

time to update the signature!

What color/mix of colors is that?

I seriously just pulled the last bit of masking tape off and backed it out of the garage for the pic. haha
Tires are cleaned up now. Usually when I take pics the car is spotless, I was just anxious to share.

Just gotta wait for some nice weather and I can take the big kid camera out to get some nice shots! haha

I got to this color by starting with a gunmetal gray base coat.
Then I mixed a gallon of matte clear and gallon of glossifier together along with 100 grams of Radiant Red pearls.
Added about 1/8 gallon of standard black plastidip and a full red tint bottle to get it where it's at now.
Probably could have done without the last two additions but I wanted to see if I could adjust the color a bit.
