Paint Job - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #48971 7 posts Started by 95celgt
Hey guys, well the time came around in my life when I decieded to spend some money on a nice paint job..
The car was sprayed with a single stage enamel at an earl sheibs right before i bought it courtesy of Chanh55 wink.gif , and although they did a great job for the money, the car had no clear on it so although it was glossy the paint wasn't exactly "deep". Well I was simply thinking I was going to do the same gloss black with a clear coat, but I changed my mind LAST MINUTE today when I was at the auto paint store........

Its NightHawk Black Pearl, same as my Acura RSX-S A-spec, its black with a very,very dark blue pearl.....I had it formulated at TRY auto paints here in laredo..

edit: OMNI is a PPG Submodel, not a company, its good stuff, as long as its PPG lol, which is OEM stuff I think..
A gallon of Nighthawk Black at Honda/Acura is about $500-600, i get my paint made for about $170 with my discount...
