what is TCM?

I am sure the answer would be something very obvious, but seriously I have no idea what it is or might be!

Thanks TheScionicMan.

So, I have noticed that most of the complainers, not without merit though!, are mostly Tcers and xBers. Meaning that I have noticed that amonst those who complain about the paint xAers are a minority. Is this mostly a Tc and xB issue


And, lets see if I understood other of you correctly. If I buy my xA Silver Streak Mica the rate of pain and suffering for watching the paint of my new car deteriorate would be significantly slower as time progresses

That would help some because as a recently graduate I do not think I will be able to afford the clearbra immeadetely after the car purchase. Or are clearbras not even worth it

-excuse my grammer-

Hate to bust your bubble on this one , But I bought a brand new honda civic for that price and the paint wasnt nearly half as bad as this paint is . So save the "Its a cheap car" excuse

Thanks for the information, Tomas and UnFocused.

I'll price a new panel. Maybe this is the opp. to experiement with... FUSION colors! Well, really--- I will OEM paint it

I had not a scratch on the car, either. Ray's is still perfect too. We don't have rocks on the roads so much here and neither of us is on the expressways very much.

If I lived in Arkansas with hilly, winding FAST two lane roads... my tune would be different.

thanks but -its OK.

I never ever get mortally upset when a material thing gets damaged. Besides, this is just such an easy fix... OH what the old man -coulda' hit- backing up blind, distracted.

luuuuucky me.

you're both right

silver gray or gray metallic (thundercloud=gray) yes! even better. A variant of metallic aluminum, I would say.

About every third car here in town seems to be some kind of metallic gray. I like TCM better than any of those others.

lol

I just don't like saying I have a silver car. lol I dont know why. And everyone refers to it as silver so I correct them.


Wasn't there a silver one at first too? Theres someone we know with one but I never thought to ask her the color but hers is a lot lighter shade than mine unless that's just something that happens. When we got the TCM one from Longo there was a lighter one but my husband didn't like it.
