Painting a Honda car a Subaru OEM color counts as custom in my book. It's not like he's repainting WDP into NBP.

custom pearl, which concists of two different red and gold

pearls to achieve this one of a kind pearly look.
He said the paint itself cost $500, the zerelic pearl is a more refined/silky "sharpe" pearl (cost him extra $80 a qt)

As far as coping goes, theres only ONE 3gTL, actually only ONE TL in general thats "java" 1 CL, and 1 accord

vs 100's of NBP,WDP,SSM,ASM etc etc....

me and justin (and his paint guy) helped him out with this color, he thought about black with green pearl but thought that wouldnt look nice, I said black with gold pearl, justin suggested black with red pearl, and his paint guy said to use zerelic pearl, so he went with black with GOLD pearl and a "hint" of red pearl.

He just txted me and said he's finished the car, also said that his roof is still OEM java black from when he painted it before, he'll get compared shots vs his roof (OEM java) and HIS custom pearl.


Since this is a custom made pearl he came up with Jalava black LOL! (java and lava together)

After see this car in person yesterday all i can say is wow. It looks way better than the pics. The red and gold flakes really make this car shine out. I owned a 04 java black suby and the color now is nothing like the suby java black.

Interesting, but yeah, it looks really brown! Damn! What a cowardly act to key someones car! I would love to catch someone doing that to my car! But back to the paint job it ok, colorsanding will improve the look. I'll just stick to my WDP!

Pics finally....however

1. The pics are horrible quality

2. The car looks really dirty

3. I can't believe someone keyed his freakin car right after he just painted it!

I think once the above 3 things are taken care of this car will look beautiful.
