Right, Relive this thread
Been looking and looking, I saw a dark grey car locally, didn't like it was like primer ! so thought ah mix some blue pearl into it and do like a metal flake but after chatting to Matt-Pack it dont work to well or wont give me what i want
SO
more endless videos and forums (all based in the states), Decided against the whole car as i wanted a 52D wagon for ages and now i got one.... Why change it... BUT aggression is the key
Female owner of my car before me, roof fudged from handbags and keys lets look into that ,
First up colours... Was thinking yellow roof ?? Would be different but then it would look like those scene VWs which i hate, So more youtube videos leading me towards matte black , Its easy and simple
where are we?
Well the grey looks like primer and will stick out like a sore thumb i think on my blue and carbon wagon , saw a video on the Metalizer range (metallic finish) only available in spray can and very powerful finish, This started me thinking about a gunmetal grey / anthracite metallic roof !! YES that hits all the buttons, dark grey still a bit shiney YES THATS IT !
saw the videos perfect
till...... My mate is building a scoob powered beetle text me "im going for a plasti dip stormcloud" now we do alot of shows together throughout the year and this !Removed! on my plan i dont want us to match lol!!
more you tube videos
Then stumbled accross the Copper metalizer, Loads of clips and people trying to replicate the Rota bronze colour and some acutally look copper ! very cool i thought for wheels , No real UK experience from what i find so went on the US forums for some advice
few people have tried this and had a good result,
Matte black base with the copper metalizer over to give a black with a copper metalflake, Apparently 5 coats of black base then a coat of copper gives it a nice look, Then if i want to beef up the copper more then i just add to suit (eventually it will look like copper!)
So thats my plan..... Roof and top spoiler like this and the rails etc in plain matte black
Then my wheels need a new look, I am going to match my wheels to the roof origionally... Yeah would look nice i thought! But saturday morning i stumbled accross a video of Carbon fibre effect !!
.... So could i do a copper look carbon fibre ??
Ive got the stuff to make it look carbon fibre, that arrived this morning and i got the matte black and copper coming by monday!
