dwp repaint with pearlescent color change?

dwp repaint with pearlescent color change?

Postby calreef18 » Mon Jan 16, 2006 10:25 pm

I know that the white on the gen1 is already pearl, but if I wanted to go "pearlescent" like that I've seen on other white cars that shows more of a chameleon sorta color change, would the car need a total repaint just to do that or could I somehow keep the dwp already on the car? Totally clueless on paint jobs for cars, any help would be appreciated. :)

well, total repaint. old clear and base has to be stripped, primered, base coats reapplied, then clear. Plan to spend at least 3-6 grand. the chameleon looks rice anyways, keep it dwp and you will get a lot more respect.

Ah I see. Yea I don't like the chameleon at all, just those white pearl cars that are more "pearly" than ours per se. Anyways thx for the info and nice Jackalope? :lol: haha.

Pearls look good on white cars.I had the pearl on mine changed from white to blue...looks sweet. hard to match mine though, I always have to go back to the same place, no one else will touch it

Thanks man, i'm a nebraska native so we see them all the time... :) Actually, I used to work at cabelas and you would not believe how many mounted jackalopes we sold to people that thought they were real. (wannabe outdoorsmen from the coasts) I had a lot of fun with those guys. he he.
