In need of tender loving care - Proton Satria

[satria81]

Dear Car Lovers,

I had noticed very recently that my 17 year proton satria is in need of some care. It had served me a lot.

Thus, I have decided to send it for a complete spray painting job.

Could you please freely share some choices for good colors to be chosen and what lacquer should i go for

All your thoughts will be appreciated.

I currently have Viper Green code: L6B on mind - but not confirmed..

Sincerely,

Satria81

for clear coat... glasurit is the way to go imho...

as for colour... battleship grey is pretty unique in these parts... especially on a satria

Hey, coincidently, today I saw a Viper Green Satria. With 4 holes drilled on the rear bumper like Civics.
In Subang Parade 7pm. Is that u?

Btw, I would go for gunmetal or a black. Not sure which code just not the Proton's tranquility black.

 

[ken yeang]

black is a pain the the ass to maintain. Slight ding on the car body would show easily. Swirl is oso easiest to spot in black paint.

Nevertheless, black is sexy and never go out of fashion.
Even batman use black, sorta. haha

how bout dandelion yellow from an evo 3 or passion red from evo 6 tme?

Camo green with Dupont lacquer or Glasurit. The bright red candy apple red highlight stripes.

But a good painter can do wonders with Dupont/Nippon without having to spend so much money on Glasurit.

I know a certain VW/Volvo panel that does an incredible job with paint jobs, but unless your car is a VW/Volvo, expect to pay through your nose for their workmanship. About 8k thereabouts. Their final product is resistant to small stone chips and all and Glasurit isn't used to achieve this result.

I remember seeing a color chart with the car shape. Just flip the color underneath and can see the car in that color....
