WOW - that's amazing! I never would have believed a spray bomb would make that kind of quality finish.
Nice job!

WOW that looks good

what did you use to give it gloss like that??

Yah your right this color has two colors and two offsets. Well thats what the lady at SW told me. Alot of these spray can makers have that base and even the secondary color, but no green. That is another paint mixed in. So that is why its 1995 for an aerosole can. PPG wants around 80 for a 1/2 pint. that is mixed. So you do the math. Lots of people can claim a match but keep in mind they are making the paint from a formula. PPG sells it already made. Those pics should show you the diff. The same happend to my wifes rs4. THey painted it and it was like only the base. You couldn't flip any other color out of it. I said are you kidding. Took a month to get it right they had to order a Factory pac from PPG. That is the paint already mixed.

My opinion. Even though it may not have the green in it it is a close enough match for the interior and engine compartment.

Thanks for this thread been looking to do this on my wifes.

Hey did the one can sufice for all the parts? Also where did you get you clear coat?

RenatUS

if those colors are there, then I just need sunny weather and free time. I'll definitely try to take some pics this weekend.

RenatUS

Yes, one can was enough for three layers for parts that I've been painting.


that were just three layers of clear coating. I bought the can in closest auto parts store fo $3 or $4.

Iride_xB04

BAMFXB

No he posted on the first page the link.

nice stuff! I had no desire to do anything to the inside of my rs4 other than change the speakers and deck but after seeing this thread, I think I'm going to have to do more...

BAMFXB

I just did my wifes RS4 it looks sweet

eaglesmerlin1

does anybody know if toyota/scion sells touch up paint bottles for the rs4?I debadged my xb and when i took off the scion badge there was a nick right under where the logo went.It was unnoticeable when the badge was on bc it was in its shadow i suppose but now with it shaved I notice it everytime I see my car. Its tiny, smaller than a pencil eraser tip,but *I* know its there and it bothers me lol.
