A lot of the ricer's try to do that too their rides. It looks alright I guess, but the fact that their car is "Purple" at all, just turns me off to the whole idea. If your car is fast enough, I guess it dosn't really matter what color you paint the thing. If you get beat by it, it just makes it that more insulting I guess...

LOL

"Awww man, he just blew my doors off.... But at least I don't have that ugly *** paint job!"

its known here as pearlescent (changes colour in the sun) a real pain to match it when its scratched[:@] looking at the way they do it I recon it would be easier/cheaper to spray it

Did you guys have to download a language pack to view this site? I installed it and now its taking forever to load.

I've seen that kind of paint before, I think it looks horribly tacky.

No language pack for me, but I'm at work right now, and the Goverment has everything on their computers...

yeah the TVR's look nice in the chameleon paint... It's odd that their peeling and applying it the way they are, I understood it was sprayed on in layers w/ a clear in between, its a difficult technique - but i guess this was the easier way.. Just imagine the new trendz, paint shcemes in a box ! "ooh Im tired of my nogaru blue - today i want Imola" open up a box, and peel on !
