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

Metallic blue...dunno the code but its in between dark blue and light blue.

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

 

[peterj]

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....

thanks Izso,

another concern, would the painter use glasurit lacquer in actual or they might use some abc lacquer...how to determine..

also, please advise wat product is used to resist against smaill stone chips..

 

[es2611]

im a sucker for grey. would suggest the E8 MR Gunmetal Grey A39.

I guess it's all up to the integrity of the painter. Hence the need to find one that's reputable and reliable since you don't know any. Perhaps recommendation through friends?

And how it resists stone chips is the workmanship of the painter. Use cheap ass lacquer and it will resist leaves at most. Everything else will chip. So far I've seen Dupont and Glasurit work quite well.

Alternatively you can opt for the cheap paint, then straight away do this paint 'condom' which is some sort of protective layer. Or opt for the glass layer treatment for the whole car? I dunno. I personally keep spare paint stock at home to DIY touch up.
