RichieRichJP · 10-13-2005, 11:23 AM

Thanks guys
I spent $197 for (whats written on the receipt...)
Dark Blue Mica Paint
Low reducer
SV High Build 2K Primer
Hardener for SV primer
Sealer
Fast primer hardener
Pearl (by the ounce)
Mixing cups

and I still have to get clearcoat, which the guy said runs around $150.
Silverstreakin (the guy who turboed Rapeacivic's car) is going to paint my car (in Ft Walton Beach)
It may get done early next month. I'm going to have to prep my car when I get time and hopefully I get the Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid from XXX before that. I'll have a carbon Fiber hood too probably by mid November

I used omni MC161 clear on mine, it could have been better, I would use a ppg branded clear on top instead now.

***Hamsterman*** · 10-13-2005, 07:24 PM

great color choice man, i love blue mica

there is always that fun anticipatoin of "here is shit for my car... soon enough it will be on!"

RichieRichJP · 10-13-2005, 07:43 PM

That was exactly what I thought haha
Wait, what color is your car?? It looks pretty damn close. I just hope the color doesn't appear much lighter than it is in the can

Yeah, that's what happened to me. My Paint was kinda like yours in the can and you can see how it came out below in my sig.
