ITR Progressions pics....

[kicker1_solo]

Well I wanted to be the first to use this paint, but jimbob beat me to it. I was going to use it on my impala, but I decided to do it black and my ITR irridescent. The pictures don't do anything compared to how it looks in person. Here's the pics:
Here it is before painting

First step-flat black paint 2-3 coats

Second step-color changing paint 3-6 coats, I think I did 7

Third sted-clear coat 2-3 coats, I think I did 5







The paint changed due to light and contour. (sp?) It's very simple paint to use, you can get the 3 cans for $20 at most stores. I got mine at k-mart and have seen it at Bi-mart, Fred Meyer, and lots of paint stores. The cheapest I've seen it is $18, so you've gotta spend a little bit of money for it, but it's well worth it.

you're right, they have 3 different colors. I don't know exactly what they are, but I like this one the best.

Sorry to beat u to it - it wasnt my intention to compete !

Yours looks fantastic by the way.!

This paint is absolutely great though isnt it?

Over her in the Uk we cant get the duplicolour range.

Im luckily enough to be involed with many body shops as part of my work - My colour is found on TVR sports cars (I love TVR's) and I have now accumulated loads of this stuff - about ten different colours.

The worst bit is it ranges from £260 per litre to over £600 per litre not good when you only need about 20 ml

Anyways great minds think alike as they say - I hope to do loads in the different paints in the future.

- A tip - different undercoats - ie the black will make big differences to the overall colours. I used a grey undercoat - probably made mine to light.

no, it's not automotive paint. The first coat is pretty much the primer. Any I preped the body the same way I do others.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that mirage paint.. how can it come in three colors, since it has already more then three colors in itself... it should be 3 different types of colorchanging paint..

But it looks great, and looking forward to see the finished product

that's true, it has every color between purple and green. Which includes, every shade of purple, every shade of blue, every shade of green, a few shades of gold, and more....
