my bf is having his punto resprayed with rage glitter

ive got that colour of purple above with a dusting of light blue pearlescent over the top ill try an get some pics up it looks the business vcos its subtle it can be ky blue along the seam of the arch an purple on the arch under certain light an it looks miint pearlescents r good

shekie has black with blue pearl added to it looks purple sometimes :cool:

Yeah its the standard colour mate, but had a respray last month, so it looks really good. You can't tell how good it is from the pics, when the suns out you get a pearly effect.:thumbs:

is that your standard colour mate,aint seen it on corsas. does look very nice

Go for Aurora Purple, standard Vauxhall colour, looks great when the suns on it.





The pics don't do it justice.

only reason i was gonna keep it black was to keep the costs down,they wouldnt have to spray inside doors and engine bay etc then. i would really like a purple or deep blue in pearl though.would the inside have to be done?

looks nice

Well personally if I was going for a respray I would get a non standard colour, make the money more worthwhile IMO. I would probably go for a pearl blue or my mate has a Golf Gti in pearl Mauve, looks amazing.

But to answer your question, it would certainly look good, but just how much better than a bog standard black, i'm not sure!

thanks alot for the reply mate,do you think this would look any good with vauxhall black? anyone got any pics?

I'm not too sure, but i'm gonna take a stab at it since no one else has helped you out.

Pearl is short for pearlescent.... and that makes the paint look really deep and shiny and metallic. I think it is done with a coat of silver between the primer and a slightly transparent top coat. There is an article of this happening in Max-wouldnt-know-a-cam-shaft-from-a-calm-day-Power's WORX magazine.

Hope this helps you a little.

need a reply a.s.a.p please lads

just phoned my local body shop who fitted my kit about having a full respray in standard black with metal flakes in it,he says it'll cost shit loads cos the amount of laquer and sanding needed. he recomended a pearl respray but im not to sure how much this will affect the look ok the paint.anyone got their car done in pearl or got any good pics of a pearl colour. cheers
