Right i'v now decided to change the colour on my mk4 but heard to many different things off too many people so thought i'd ask the clever people lol,

Rsp supras i'v seen seem to have a pearlesent look to it, now thats fair enough but i was told today that the car is actually wearing a violet basecoat and thats where the colour change comes from, the code for the paint is 8L5 i believe, but is there any others things the bodyshop should know to get the best finish for example base coat and laquer or have i been told a load of rubish by someone.

Any help would be much apprciated from all members.

OOHHH Jake, you been hanging it out too wide again lol?

 

Nevins, here is some good advice for you. Buy decent paint, Sikkens is expensive and hard to beat in every way. Lessonal (mase by some company) has an excellent laquer also but stone chips easier.

 

Have ALL trims removed around the glass area's, masking gives a crappy job.

 

Good luck.

We use RM in work good all round finish, just trying to grasp what ur getting at?, once the code is typed into the scheme itll come up with a list of tints that make up said colour, if its got a pearl in the mix then the itll show up when the paints getting mixed so no need to worry
