Torch Red w/ Pearl ?
Friday, March 17, 2006 2:25 AM
Hey guys, I could use some help right now..

I was looking for a deep, bright red for my car and I came across a couple Hot Hues "Base Coat/ Clear Coat" colors such as hot poppy that were red with pearl in it..

I came acroos pics of Opeths car and and Geeds car.. and I LOVE the look of torch red, but dont want to give up the pearl look the other paints would give me..

So.. how would Torch red look with pearl in the clear ? Has it been done ? Should I got with a Base Coat / Clear Coar 2 stage paint from Hot Hues ? or add pearl to the torch red.. ?

My best example is my buddys car



I dont know how easy you can see the pearl.. but i love how the paint looks in the sun.. I want that effect but with a red..

Any paint suggestions if the pearl wouldnt work in the Torch red ?

sorry for the long post.. any advice is appriciated

a pearl/flake or even a candy with the red looks really hot. Teske's car was painted HOK candy apple red, and that sucker looked incredible. http://www.importfighterz24.com/ there's a couple pics there that show it pretty well. more pics here: http://www.teamforwardmotion.com/matt_teske/index2.htm (pretty sure it was painted candy apple then).
