SLO-030 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 Yea, true. But it was good to see it all together and how much work is actually left. Still got to finish off the front guards, window and tailgate. Inside of the front passenger door still needs to be primed. then the lot is all ready for final prime and a rub back with 600. Got some stuff to discus when your available.....Mr Daddy. Quote

Me either. Found the name of the paint i'll be after is HSV Racing green. Hopefully its a bit cheaper than the Poison Ivy Metallic I originally wanted. Quote
MYSTIK[RL] Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Found the name of the paint i'll be after is HSV Racing green. Hopefully its a bit cheaper than the Poison Ivy Metallic I originally wanted. just having HSV in the name triples the price ;) Quote
LXY-642 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Could always go to a paint shop and get them to mix the colour for you might be cheaper? Quote
SLO-030 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Posted June 21, 2010 Yea, gonna go have a talk to the local auto paint shop friday hopefully. Quote
JJT036 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 I'm gonna be painting Ollie "Poison Ivy" Green as well, but it's the task of finding a Paint Shop that would mix the colour. I'm also gonna have to visit Holden with Dad and find a Commodore in "Poison Ivy" Green and take a look at the Paint Code stamped on the ID Tag. It's comin' along nicely Ryan. Josh :jamie: Quote
SLO-030 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Posted June 22, 2010 Cheers Josh, I have found a paint shop that can do it. But its almost $500/4L. Only comes in Basecoat as it contains Zirconium Pearls or something. If there isnt much difference in pricing, i'll go with the Poison Ivy. Just Love the colour. Quote
SLO-030 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Posted June 25, 2010 Alrighty. Went and had a talk to the friendly guys down at Lonsdale Auto Paints today. For 4L of HSV Racing Green it is around $264. For 4L of Poison Ivy Metallic is $406. The difference in price is due to the poison ivy has the Zirconium Pearl tinter, that alone is about $100/L snd there is almost 1L of the zirconium on 4L of mixed paint. Quote
curly Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 Found the name of the paint i'll be after is HSV Racing green. Hopefully its a bit cheaper than the Poison Ivy Metallic I originally wanted. Be warned, the fancier the colour the better the preperation has to be, with the colours you've picked it has to be perfect Quote
JJT036 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Be warned, the fancier the colour the better the preperation has to be, with the colours you've picked it has to be perfect Yep. That's true. I agree. Quote
SLO-030 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Posted June 28, 2010 Be warned, the fancier the colour the better the preperation has to be, with the colours you've picked it has to be perfect Yep yep. Once all the panel work is straight and ready for paint, the whole lot will be final primed (2 pak primer + 35% thinners) then gone over with 600 on most of the body and possibly 1200 over the top half. Any more suggestions? Quote
