I saw a Supra a couple of months ago that was a really nice dark blue with purple flip. Now that really did look good!

i couldnt decide on what wheels i liked chunky 5-6 spoke or multi bbs style, so i thought how cool it would be to have one side one style and the other side the other.
you could do the same on paint, one side mean, sllek in a dark colour
the other side bright, stand outey.
dont know how you would blend them in in the middle, or a solid line..........................come to think about it, it would look good side on but pretty cr4p from front or rear.

Hi i choose vw candyrot red looks very red some days and then very burnt orange its a risk chooseing and I think some of it comes down to luck but as long as you are happy with the results thats all that matters

Quote from: FishHow about having each panel a different colour. That should sort everything out and keep everyone happy.

I am having the same dilemma currently, so know how you are feeling. Subtle/classy or loud/outrageous. I have purchased the House of Kolor paint chip book, and also some samples from Alsa in order to try and help me decide, but as there are so many combinations of base/colour/effect/top-coat it\'s going to end up being a bit of a leap of faith.

Good luck !

im liking the pearl white with Purple Hue effect ...

the \'only\' issue you can have if you select pearl white with another colour under it - like purple, is the white can in some light look a little off white - sort of creamy. i had mine sprayed in a 3 stage \'white\' pearl, so it looks like white but with a sparkle effect. Does sort of look slightly blue\'ish in some light.
