AJI Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I think Ibrar is a good guy to talk to about paint jobs, his old electric blue Supra was a stunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 Thanks a lot! I can't seem to get any help regarding custom painting. Need suggestions on what can be done to give it that edgy cool look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrboost Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Pearl colours are very popular at the moment..Advantage if you keep the same base colour you do not have to notify your insurance or the dvla. Hence my is black with gold pearl at the end of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted March 14, 2002 Author Share Posted March 14, 2002 Yes! Yes! I live in Bangalore India!! Far away from any supra group owners! So I'm the only one who owns a supra here in Bangalore. Although there a quite a few cool cars here incl. Ferrari, Porsche, Skyline GTR, Aston Martin !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 A quick word of warning. I have a metalic pearl red paint job on my car. I am going to get it repainted a more "normal" colour soon because it can't be maintained. I have Candy Apple Red Pearl. It was painted by a very competent bodyshop that, I'm told, have turned out some brilliant jobs in the past. However, the topcoat is transparent and if you look up close, can look patchy. It is painted from a Silver basecoat, then has a metalic red mid coat and finnished with a red pearl. If any of these layers are painted or mixed slightly different, the finish wont match. As such, if you ever get any stone chips or scratches, you are generally looking at a full respray. I have arrived at the conclusion that a more "normal" colour is on the cards... I have tried 3 different bodyshops now to get them to paint my front bumper but none of them will touch it. Looks nice, but a Pain in the butt!

Ian C Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 A lot of colours have been done with Supras - Ibrar's corking Kwaka Blue, Kaleel's dark purple, some gruesome yellows and oranges, but I think a nice British Racing Green might be in order? As long is it's not really dark... -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I quite fancy yellow! - Much to Keith C and Ian's obvious dislike But, yes BRG would look good and it's an off the shelf colour Rover colour Hmmmn BRG..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 Thinking of doing a Ferrari Red! I hope a RED supra looks good? Any comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Oh yes Red is the best colour of them all! But I might be biased... -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
