Pearlecent Purple

I don't like it....I don't like flip paint....

I think it detracts from the car, but, too each his own

cheers for the comments guys,

there are actually three pearl's on there, one that looked a brown and silver colour, but turned out to be the green you can see and then a violet pearl was flicked over the arches, pillars skirts and across the front of the bonnet. oh and the black base had pearl flakes added to, just to make it sparkle a little more.

then to finish it off another pearl went in the laquer, all 8 coats of the damn stuff!

the bumpers and the spoiler we got a bit carried away with the violet on, and somehow got an almost cadbury purple colour on them, but i like the contrast against the rest of the car.

i hear what your sayin 318i1985, but the photo's are when i have managed to catch the colours at there most vibrant. most of the time she just looks a nice shiny black, but yes, each to their own.

by the way guys, she is for sale if anyone is interested, pm me for details and im after offers around the 2k mark

Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:39 am

i bet the paint job cost not far off the asking price of the motor good luck with the sale mate

Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:41 am

yeah it would have done, but i gave the guy a sapphire cossie for his troubles! seemed like a fair swap!

anyways, its got 11 months MOT, 5 months tax, 2.5 engine, lots of other goodies, and i might even leave the stereo in too! and the snooper!
