Ok guys first thing, SEARCH is down .....I'm planning on painting my car sometime this year. I'd like to paint it either black or white with a gold pearl over top. I'm trying to go for a golden hue over the base coat. Any opinions would be great. Is there any pictures of what I'm talking about done??? Oh this would be on a daily driver. Thanks guys and gals

 

what your talking about is a 3 stage paint job
base= first stage
gold pearl= second stage
clear= third stage

or you could mix the gold in with the base coat and save some cash

 

If I did that would i still get the black with a golden hue when looking at it at different angles??

 

i think it whould look nice if you went with totally straght no metalic no pearl no other color other than black base coat

then a little gold metal flake second coat
then a gold pearl mixed with the clear coat
that whould look badass

talk to your painter, he should be able to make up a couple different colors for you
any good painter will at least

have the painter spray a couple samples diffrent variations of what your looking for

 

Thanks for all your help. Yeah I still have to locate a good one here in WA got a couple but would mind a few more reccomendations from other WA drivers

 

If I sprayed the car myself how much paint would approx. need to paint the car, 1992 Civic H/B??

 

it takes about a quart paint to make enough useable material, you will also need sevral other products, unless your familiar with mixing automotive paint and sprainy cars, i whould highly recomend you dont attempt to paint your own car

you need to correctly mix the paint, if you dont the paint is ruined and youl need to buy all new paint and supplies

 

Oh i'd take the time to learn how to do it right, just thinking if its worth it to learn and have another car modding skill or just pay someone.
