Guest Magnum Rockwilder Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Check out Alsa's paint at the link below, and let me know if you want to split a gallon with me (1/2 gallon will paint a full car). It would normally cost $125 shipped if you bought 2 quarts, but I'll buy a gallon and send you half for $100 shipped. Here are the colors... I'm specifically wanting Titanium Grey and Radical Red. http://alsacorp.com/products/stylin/stylin_show.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 hmmm I like the darker of the reds, the deep blue and the california gold. 100 bucks would be a pretty good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magnum Rockwilder Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 If you decide you're seriously interested, let me know. I may want to buy some of the other colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Is there something special about this particular paint? IMO it looks like the standard metalflake paint. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has heavier flake than OEM paint, so it looks better on curvy bodies, and it's extremely high quality paint that covers well in 2 wet coats... and lasts. It's good stuff.

Jolane Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Do you happen to know how their Chrome finished look? I was thinking about trying it for my bumpers. Do you know how any of it holds up to the elements, if used on a Daily Driver? Thanks, Joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rick458 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I would like to use the Deep blue basecoat with Purple Candy Concentrate for a purpleish very dark blue candy effect and run a pearl white wide racing stripe down the center, I'm thinking that would be fairly classy.

It was tedious to prep because the surface has to be 100% slick as glass, and you have to spray it OVER a fully cured and wetsanded clearcoat. Mine came out well, but the prepwork convinced me that it's better to have the metal chromed if possible. You can probably have both bumpers chromed for about $300.

If and whn you're ready to order, let me know and I'll sell you a 1/2 gallon of dark blue for $100 shipped. I've already found a buyer for Aqua Blue, and I'm looking for Titanium and Radical red. I'm open to other colors as well, but I'm mostly wanting those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From AlsaCorp.com: Q. What makes Alsa's Stylin Basecoats better than the competition? A. With Alsa's Stylin Basecoats you have twice the amount of pigments and metallics allowing you coverage in half the time with less material.

Guest rick458 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Have you used any of the concentrates? any tricks to them and how difficult is the stylin basecoat to shoot (I am a real noob to shootin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magnum Rockwilder Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I haven't used any of their candy concentrates, but I would assume that it's difficult to spray without getting streaks and spotting. The clearcoats would have to be perfectly even for the appearance to be uniform. If you're good at spraying clearcoat without runs or other heavy spots, you should be okay. If not, I would recommend that instead you add a dry pearl to the first clearcoat and mist it on, then follow with the usual wet coats. You can get purple or red pearl to give your paint a purplish tint off Ebay for cheap. The basecoat is easy to spray. It covers so well that you can spray it a little dry to avoid streaks.

Guest rick458 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 If the candy is tricky that rukes me out I put a run in the Primer:redface: How pronounced is the Metalflake in the basecoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magnum Rockwilder Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 The flake is larger than factory metallic, but not truly "metalflake". It has enough size to enhance contours without being too large and being tacky. The main thing about the paint is the depth of color, and the different shades within. It really sets off the curves.

280Zen Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I've been looking at their site for some time, I was thinking of a dark/midnight blue with a black candy coat, maybe some gray striping or flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
