What do you think of this color?

[Brian_B]

In the poll thread everyone (myself included) liked the viper blue. More than likely, that is the color it will end up being painted, since I have to do it myself.

Anyway, Somone posted some pictures of House Of Kolor Cinnamon Pearl paint. I just love how it pops when the light hits it.

Here are a couple of pics...both the other brand though.

First a plain side shot:

Then the light on it:

Side shot in really bright sunlight:

Angle shot again (under lights though):

At this point, I am leery of a pearl paint. I am talking to some experts about it. Plus I have probably a year to play with primers and such to see how I spray.

What do you think of this color? Better or worse than the viper blue (no pearl, no flake)?


I was thinking of something though. Take a look at my interior. It is the wrong colors to go with the cinnamon pearl. Black and gray with it? What do you think?

They used it on a truck on Trucks TV. Stacey David did. Looked awesome then to me too. I LOVE it.

EDIT: They called it "Project Copperhead".

EDIT #2: Ok, not the exact same color on Copperhead, but really close. Here's a link to it: http://www.gearztv.com/index.php?em2048=96289_0__0_~0_-1_11_2006_0_0&content=projects&ek=96289

Yeah it is close. Copperhead was that not so pretty ford ranger color they used for a few years. Stacy David had them add something to the formula and copperhead was born. I loved the color then too.

I don't know if I can spray this pearl. That is a wait and see.

I just wanted to know of people liked it or not first.

Looks good and you don't see many that color either.

I'm not a big fan. It looks okay, but definately not a color I'd consider for my vehicle. The important thing is that you pick a color YOU like.

Brian, project Copperhead (what I thought of when I saw the first pic BTW) was done with a larger metal flake mixed in with the factory paint and I did like it, however I also like the Viper blue. With that said, IMHO, I think that your truck would look better with the Cinnamon Pearl even with the interior being black/gray.

Of course you don't like it, it ain't Krylon or available in a spray can.

What about this Brian?

Thats great, but there is no way I can shoot candy with the equipment I have. The cinnamon pearl is a one shot deal. Then clear. It is not a pearl intercoat like the normal pearl or candies are.

I am an amateur w/cheap equipment plain and simple.

Time to upgrade

Time to upgrade

Yes...if I buy the fancy gun, I can't afford the fancy paint. confused

We will see...thats a year off before the final decisions has to be made.

Just look at it this way . You like the stock look and this will be any thing but. But It is a nice color and would look good on your truck .You would have to paint inside to.

 

[polarbear]

That looks a lot like Daytona Sunset Orange that we offered on Corvettes for a few years.

Interesting color- changed tones relative to ambient lighting. Also a "love-hate" color. Folks either loved it, or they wouldn't take it on a bet. Changed to Atomic Orange in mid '07.

Brian I like it, then maybe a silver metallic accent color to really make it POP!

 

[Brian_B]

old thread comes back! LOL I forgot about this one. It is way down the line, but the viper blue/white is what it will probably end up. I can spray that without the fancy guns (if I can ever afford to start any body work again).

Yes...the inside will need to be painted too. The gray interior should look ok with it thouugh.

Pearl isn't bad to shoot.....not like metallics.

My 48 is Dark Amethyst Pearl (99 Honda Accord paint). Looks blue until the light hits it and then it turns dark purple.

There is something about that cinnamon pearl, but I think it wants white or cream interior...........or maybe I'm thinking orange creamcicle?

 

[Brian_B]

I really like the cinnamon pearl, but the interior would look horrible with it. The interior work is something I cannot do myself...therefore I am stuck with what I have. I sort of have to match the outside to what I already have, if I ever get to that point. Most of my interior is gray (and in good shape).
