What kind of paint is this? Is it anything special? I love the way the light whites out the paint. I want it on my FD!

 

Kind off topic but the FT-86 isn't even schedule to come out and there is already a II concept?

I do like that color though

 

kinda looks like some of the hok line

check out the "Black Sparkle over BC25 Black" and the "Black Diamond over BC25 Black". might be one of these with something else added like their ice pearls, since it has kind of a dark blue flop on the edges. can't say for sure without seeing the car in person though

 

To my untrained eye, it looks like a really good polish/wax job on a freshly painted black car in a white room with track lighting. Nothing special except the lighting. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

Toyota needs that car. NOW. That I'm sure of.

 

it looks good. Ive been looking for a nice deep black to put on my FD as well.

 

I don't think so. Really good paint/polish/wax doesn't create a gradient like that does it? It looks kinda purplish to no?

 

Thanks for the tip man. Cool site!

 

Understand, that even if you had the same paint & applied it to your FD, it would look totally different.

Concept cars are usually painted with custom paints, to show of their style lines.

Although this paint would look great on an FD, it would probably look darker.

My guess is a metallic base, with pearl etc.... Followed by an *** load of clear coats with various additives.

 

Yeah. I figured. If I did this, I'd probably ask for a paint match. As much as I don't like the work ethic of my bodyshop guy (I'm not sure I'd take my new car to him), I do believe in his skill as a painter. I'm considering other places but I don't think they would be able to accomplish what he can. Then again, if I use a custom paint, he can charge me whatever he wants to repair so thats bad .

 

The lighting in the room is giving it that effect but looking closer at the paint it looks to be a metallic gunmetal base with silver ghost pearl.

 

^ You may be on to something. It does look like is has dual layer effect. I was thinking gun metal base with titanium clear. It's amazing how the top coat completely over shadows the base coat at angles.

 

Well I saw another car from the Geneva Auto Convention here is one paint color I thought would look great on a FD here is a picture of it http://www.autoblog.com/photos/alfa-...-2011/#3927813

 

huh... thats an interesting red. Personally though Im not a fan of flat colored cars. I like mine to shine

 

Wow that is really interesting.

I'm not a huge fan of flat colors but that really pops out at me.

 

looks kind of like there blue/grey color on the car oh whats it called the ls??? ahh lfa

 

flourescent lights my friend. Makes even regular OEM colors pop. looks like the same grey on the 07 IS350. ive sprayed it a few times, its aight. Kinda plain, but with the correct lighting, it pops off nice.

 

looks like a darkgray base with mabye some purple red and blue flakes as a light accent. With eaither a ghost pearl or mabye even an anthracite pearl for like the first two coats of clear then just flat sanded and another couple of coats to give it that dimension. I dont see orange peel note the flat sanding, and then just a really good buff job.

 

You know that looks a lot like this color here but color sanded to a dull finish and NOT polished afterwards.

 

cmon... waitin two years for a paint job aint that bad...
