Close to it. I'm still decided between glossing it, leaving it matte or going with a pearl look.

I really just want to see the FRS in colours that aren't available for it.

Yellow was no 1 on my list and Green was no 2

No 3 is purple lol don't hate me

Has anyone used silver metalizer before? I'm considering doing Gunmetal grey with a silver metalizer on top, curious how that would look...

Metalizers seem to be thinner and runnier than standard matte dips..just be careful with how thick you lay it on to avoid running

Lightly smoked some tail lights..



That's what one can looks like (plus 3 coats glossifier). The brake lights are on, they're darker than they appear in this photo.

If I had an Altezza, Maxima, or Altima with those ugly chrome tails I wouldn't mind smoking them lightly as an alternative to aftermarket replacement.

The wheels on my wife's Mercedes were even worse; 17" 17 spoke wheels with much smaller gaps between each spoke. Kept having to spin the wheel 90 degrees every coat because I kept finding spots without any coverage. Took a solid 6 hours to do all 4 wheels about 5/6 Coats. One good thing is that you can apply a nee coat in little as 15-20 mins.

Bought a 3500 today. What settings are you using? I read to use a low setting, about 15 clicks from the lowest setting for the first couple coats, then move it up to around 50% for the rest.
