Well, I've been thinking about painting the SC3 lately and I really miss the color on my old Poopra. I wanted something different, so, I took a gallon of DuPont Jet Black and dumped a crapload of violet pearl into it. Here's what I got after I sprayed a few test panels and sprayed my Supra.







I really liked this color a lot because it appeared black from several angles until the sun hit it and then you'd see a deep cast of violet. I'm thinking of painting my SC this color. Any thoughts guys?

Thanks,

Only one thought, WHY DID YOU SELL THAT BEAUTIFUL CAR!!! lol, i think it would be a tad better if it had less violet, just a VERY deep undertone with some pearl to it.

oh i dig it. my subaru legacy has a slight red tint to its black. so in the sun you can see the red but at night it just looks black. currently though, im really into brown cars.

I kind of like it, but maybe try it with less violet and more red on an SC.

i love it. how much does this type of paint job is going to cost you?

Only the cost of materials. I would never let anyone paint one of my cars. I take a LOT of pride in my work and I don't take short-cuts. I've been painting for a long time and I'm extremely picky, therefore, I paint everything myself. I'm also certified by DuPont and Spies-Hecker paints.

I'm also thinking about possibly painting the car black with a deep carbon-blue pearl. Now that would be trick

i like it..a buddy of mine (the only other SC within 300 miles) has his car painted a similar color..only 18's and no drop so it looks like a 4x4 and altezza tails..lets just say my car is quite a bit nicer

I say you go for it, I really like that colour.

That's a sweet color. I'd probably say go with the red undertone rather than purple, but either way, it's awesome. Maybe put a tiny bit of flake in it? If I drive to IL, can you paint mine? :P

In all seriousness, do you know of any good places to bring an SC for a full respray? Preferably for under $2k? Mine was resprayed at one point before I bought it and it swirls way too easily and is just low quality paint in general.

It's kinda like the GT-R's "Ultimate Black Opal"

I saw your thread here and it reminded me of an article I read on JT-Culture about an AutoCouture SC a while back- So here are the pics to help your decision:
