I'm getting my black R32 resprayed sometime in near future and I want something more exciting yet still black so I'm considering to respray it in black with candy red metal flakes. I've got idea from Juiced: HIN (computer game for those of you that don't know it). This is how it looks in game:

This is basically how I want my car to look... black with red metal flakes, probably something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CANDY-RED-METAL-FLA...1742.m153.l1262

Does anyone have experience with such paint? How would that turn out in real life (cant rely on computer game, lol).

I painted the bonnet, and some other details on my old nissan patrol with silverflakes.

It requires some work...

1. spray the clear-coat with flakes, let it dry.

2. go over the painted area with fine sandpaper and wet sand it. Do good work here, and make sure its smooth.

3. spray again with clear-coat (no flakes)

4. If the result is good now you are finish with the paitning, and can start polish the car. If its not good repeat step 2&3.

If you use a poor flake-fabric the flakes can either sink or float in the clear-coat, and you will get an uneven layer of flakes. Test the flakes, and trye spray something just to test it (like an old patrol) :D

Tried to upload pics, it failed. So i used a norwegian pic uploader site:

Paint with pearl red flakes over black base --- i used WAY too much red flake in the clear - tone it back and it should work like you think - but it will always look a little red

Actually I have seen a car that looks similar in paint to the game photos you posted at a hod rod show years ago which made me want a paint job the same. Here is that car

that is realllyyyy nice

maybe find out the builders name - they will advertise which paint they used - maybe not colour but brand atleast.

That looks sweeeeet.  :P (we really need a :drool: smiley).  Cheers guys.

I'm planning to get my R32 resprayed later this year or as soon as I repay my credit card and then I'll share results with you. :(

that colour on the hot rod is House of Kolor Kandy Brandy Wine, not sure what base they have used though

by the looks of the pics in the first post you want a cherry black colour

kandy cherry black will look awesome and be exactly what you're after

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
