hope you like it bro since it doesn't seem like it's exactly what you were lookin for or expecting. don't forget, you're payin the bodyshop... if you ain't happy you don't ever let them stick you with ****, it's your money and your ride. looks like it's a little too late to speak up right now tho lol and you seem like you don't mind the color. for a full paint job though... ****.. I wouldn't be able to just not mind it.. I'd have to love that **** before I took it back from the shop. good luck

It honestly seems as if it's an earth tone kind of color mix. Where in some light instances it will change colors. Such as a purple becoming a light grey or green in different scenarios.

Nonetheless the paint is looking good, just need better lighting situations to see the real outcome

What Happened? I think the wheels look better than the car. LOL
I think the final project will be good. Keep it up. Can't wait until I start geeting my hands on my GS (Winter is holding me back)

Actually I asked him to use some differ pearls to see how it will affect the paint. I asked for blue pearl, gold pearl and voilet pearl. I saw the pait samples and I chose the bluish-purple. I didn't just settle for whatever it took me a week to decide on what pearls I wanted to try and mix. And it gives off the effect I was going for and it's the slight shift on color. Nothing to extreme or light , it's just right!! And yes I agree the paint needs to be looked at in the ligh those pix where taken with my iPhone and plus it was around 530 pm so it wasn't exactly the best time for picture taking.

I will update the thread once I get more pix

I'm sure the end result will be I just think if i'd bothered to do a full respray I'd go with a base color farrr off what you could get any other oem gs in. ie: mr.exe; you just wanna dump ten gallons of vanilla icecream ontop of that car and smash a straw into the gas tank.

Turned out very nice, but that sure looks more than just a pearl. Looks like a complete color change. Can't even see any hint of the black cherry anymore.

I said the same thing when I saw the pics. Still looks good regardless.
