New Black Paint Job

[atlanticblue98]

Tuxedo black is what comes on the new focus and I'm sure some other newer fords.

I like Volkswagen's black metallic or pearl whatever it is.

At first I thought a black with some pearl would be hot but then you see some or some with a flake in them and it almost takes away from the depth of what black paint can/should have. Could you do a black with say like an orange pearl that you'd only see at certain angles/sunlight?

you can still achieve depth that black paint offers with a pearl over it. just has to be the right amount of pearl and a good clear coat finish.

this here is what i like myself:

you may loose a little bit of the depth but still sick and looks awesome in direct sunlight which straight black rarely does.

just for reference this is NOT the same vehicle as i posted above

i agree 1,00000% too much pearl fuuks it up!

i would'nt want it to look like this

:nono:

Yeah I like the one you like as well and yeah it still shines but you do loose depth. Very true though it's so hard for black to look good in the sun, every little thing freakin shows. In the sun my car looks almost gray.

Lol @ that pearl is too damn high pic. I kinda like the one you posted whip, not the import the original pic. Its between that and the black pearl on that Shelby i found. Onyx your right lol, i love looking at my car in the shade.. Once the sun hits it, boom every imperfection scratch and dent scream HELLOOO look at me lol

I think the coolest black I remember seeing was that special cadillac color JR used on American chopper in the Jr/Sr build off for cadillac.
