I was looking to get my old car custom painted and came across this color by PPG called red wine flamboyance. In the shade it looks like a deep deep red almost black, and then in the sun it's a bright red pearl.

it changes color depending on light! The more light there is the brighter and oranger it gets.. the darker it is the closer to crimson it is.


I loved it... @ night it looked maroon in the shadows and in th elight it was gold.

Yep, I think I just made up my mind on the flat black. I keep going back to it for some reason and decided not to fight it anymore lol. Here's the final plan...

Flat black paint with a little bit of Satin in it so it looks like a paint and not a primer.

Wheels and exhaust (yes exhaust) powdercoated gloss black.

Calipers and harnesses stay bright red.

Everything else remains the same.

hm. SCC did it with their STI with like 20bazillion cans of krylon in semi-flat black.

eh. thats 'drifter' style i guess.

i still think some shade of green would be sick.

maybe if ur bored with flat black, you can do a subdued digital cammo overlay.

In my opinion, a true sports car or race car should be red. If I had money I'd go with a red like Orido's Supra. It looks so hot with carbon fiber panels, a GT wing and chrome or polished wheels.


THIS IS THE BEST CAR EVER!!!

Carbon & red is awesome looking, but it has been done before...many times. And even worse, Steve Mitchell's M-Works 350Z is carbon fiber & red and we do a lot of the same events and I want to do something different. Definately not feeling the chrome/polished wheels though. I am sticking to this theme...



But probably doing a little twist on it. What do you guys think of leaving hints of carbon fiber and doing the decals in gloss black with a chrome outline?
