What color paint?

Post by Starlite528 »

Is my car Burgundy or is it Maroon? I always thought of it as Burgundy but now I don't know. I can't find the sticker with the paint code.

Medium Red Metallic

Paint code WA-9077

It's like the 87 Metallic Blue, impossible to get a good picture showing just how metallic and brilliant it is in the sun. Beautiful color

This picture the car has a layer of dust and smudges from the bodyshop and it still shines.

Yeah I sure like it! Thanks. I picked up a new door panel and need to either paint it, or wait until I have enough money to paint the whole car.

Will, try: http://paintscratch.com/

I'd look it up if I could, I'm in the middle of low level and re installation of windows7. I'm looking at this though MiniXP, so I don't have Java - which is probably a good thing considering whatever got in the back door did it through Java (U.U).

Thanks!

I'm not ready to dedicate a thread to it, but I will be painting The Mule eventually. I want something nice, but not too eye catching, as the car already gets plenty of attention.

On a side note, i got a little WD-40 sprayed on the back accidentally and when I spread it around it started looking nice, so I did it to the whole top of my car a few minutes ago and well, we'll see how it changes in a few days or weeks;
