Re: got my paint scheme!

With the holographic flake, it doesn't take a whole lot. Like dipping your mixing stick in teh can with the flake, and adding that to a gun of clear. You don't get the effect in the building, but it coems alive outside. We painted a friend of mine's 2002 Mustang back True Blue, and did that over the clear. You could pick it up slightly in the shop, but it really looked good outside. I like using the pearls suspended in a midcoat, so they are not so overpowering.

Another favorite of mine has been to use the mid 90's Dodge truck Driftwood (silver), and quadruple the flop adjuster, and triple teh gold pearl in it, then add some violet pearl. It gives off a really cool glow that goes almost from a green glow to a blue under streetlights. I did my 91 Mustang like that, and had stupid offers on it before it was even trimmed out. Should have kept that one.....
