gold tvr

i dunno how many of you are from the UK in but the max power magazine over a year ago there was a Gold tvr, with a red interior. does anyone know the best colour and brand to use for an excellent gold effect.

supra is lookin to have lambo sucide doors, although it may be too ambitiouts lol

I would use Alclad II if you want a real good finish but its expensive and you must have an airbrush. your not going to get a good gold in a can. unless its metal flake gold but i dont think you want that. i think that car was a chrome gold. im not from UK but ive seen the car.

Re: gold tvr

You just need to copy and paste the link in the box below the picture in your gallery.


I'd go for one of the top line metallics. Alclad like Freakmech mentioned, or GSI Creos would do the trick, they are very fine. It is also looks to be a red to coppery gold so you'd need to find something along that line.

Read his post, he just told you how you do that, alternatively, read the FAQ, it's explained in there.

Re: gold tvr

Almost CJ. Except not the page URL, rather the one under the picture, it automatically highlights when you hover your mouse over it. It has the inbuilt [img] tags and everything.

Re: gold tvr

Don't give up man, you see when you click that link you gave us, it opens the picture, right under the picture is link you need to copy paste in massage.
"Share this photograph on the message board:" and right under this text is the link.
I just tried Dupli Colour Tuning line that has Chrome, Gold etc effect colours in spray cans it is not Alclad but it looks fine if you prepare surfice with gloss black (same as Alclad).
