Guys I could use some pictures of TCP Global " Restoration Shop" Vintage Burgundy Metallic paint with a glossy finish. About all I've found is the painted color shape models from TCP. And would like to see what the paint looks like on a real car. That's the problem with veiwing on computer, and looking at those little paint forms shapes, hard to tell actual color. I would add a link to TCP..but I don't know how to do that. I know it's cheap paint, and may need extra coats. But if a guy buys a better clear coat, would that make the paint be more durabile and have better UV protection ??
The 32 in my avatar was painted in that color with BC/CC from TCP. Came out really nice and has held up well over all these years.
Do what I did. Order a small kit and spray some test panels to be sure. The first blue I chose turned out to be almost a purple. Ugh….
One thing about the color is you might want to check the color variances, I know PPG and DuPont/Exalta paints have multiple mix formulas for the same color with some being more brown or purple than others.
Depending on primer color, and number of coats the colors might easily be different than what anyone might post for you. Need to know primer color and number of coats to know if yours will be the same color.
