Well since this thread was resurrected, we changed the color on the S-10 a few weeks ago. Went to a burnt orange / reddish pearl.

Wheels are factory-painted silver, though, don't wanna get too rough with them.

Cool color. I dig it. I've looked into a sort of muted orange/copperish in dip but you have to custom mix and it kind of feels like a roll of the dice as far as the final color goes.

Yep, we custom mixed that one. Just do it on a small scale, spray a test shape, and record your mix until you get what your looking for. Then calculate the mix for the amount you need for the car/truck.

Have you done a Bright red with glossifier? I'm wanting to get my car dipped. Curious how it looks.

[BttleFedC10]

I'm contemplating dipping my car matte white to cover up the mismatched fender and hood. After seeing cars with it done and watching youtube, it's not a tough job and is pretty durable.

They did a really awesome pearl white that looked pretty damn good!!

How does it tape off for 2 tone jobs? I'd like to do the scoop a different color when I get an ss hood and it will take me bit to save for a proper paint job so this is a good temporary solution.

Tape it off just like you would any other paint job. Spray your coats, and on the last coat, spray it heavy, and let it sit for a min, then peel the tape while the last coat is still wet. Done.

Sweet thanks for the info.

It doesn't look like a clear coat or anything, just adds a little reflection. This car has gloss on it:
