i would seriously consider a different colour. Only because this colour is popping up on a lot of cars -obviously because it looks wickid! But, with a bit of thought you could come up with something new and unique, plus the satisfaction of saying "its custom" when ppl ask what the colour is :P

I went to my painter with the colour in mind, and got him to spray me a few plaques in different shades of the colour, and with different pearls, then i chose from those. Its fun too! Having a colour no-one else can easily copy.

im definitly not against the ford blue, looks awesome.

hey Zoix, what is the base colour?

the problems is you need to know how it was done to get the right effect!! if the pearl was sprayed over the top with a clear base coat it will be alot easier to match the colour, but if they mixed the pearl with the base colour then it gets trickier!!! get a good painter to do it and they will be able to match it pretty close.

GTB055 4 grand is a pretty good price "for a good paint job" ie you cant really say its a good price till you see the end result.

With this sort of thing id never settle on the cheapest quote simply for that reason. Find a reputable place (it shouldnt be hard to find a friend or friend of a friend who knows someone personally -this helps for peace of mind).

the old saying of you get what you pay for.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
