    That's always a good feeling. Looks good. Those are some bold color choices...what blue is that?
     
  4. Thanks

    The blue is from a New Mini, A74, Oxygen Blue. It's very similar to the original colour of the car.

    The most interesting thing about the colors and combination thereof is the comments that it will generate when you take it to a car show. I can say this because of the color of my car. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT.

  19. No, it's not my first paint job, I work at a Body Shop as a painter. It's Standox Standohyd Base coat with Dupont ChromaPremier 72500S clear. I used a Sata 3000 RP with a 1.2 tip for the base and a Sata 4000 RP with a 1.3 tip for the clear.

    The gold is a Toyota colour. The code is 580, but I don't remember the name right now.
     
  20. Looks great! Good job. Don't forget to post pics when you get it ***embled

    Thank you for giving me a complete answer (paint type, tip used etc). I love seeing the time, dedication and effort of those that dedicate their lives to achieving greatness in this particular art form. Love it..
