A couple of weeks ago I shot Bill Elliot's roadster with "Blurple" a new color from Painthouse. Bill posted some inside photos because I couldn't catch a sunny day before I had to go out of town but I'm back now and the sun is shining! Outside the color shifts depending on viewing direction; you can see how it changes around some of the roadster body's curves. The silver which is pretty much sprayable metal consisting only of equal parts medium aluminum flakes and a PPG Deltron clear binder really sparkles in the sun. Here are few pics.

An amazing color and application.
Willing to invest $60k+ in a car and then wanting to skimp on the paint/color baffles me. Yes, $3k+ is expensive for a gallon of paint but as Jeff pointed out you only need one gallon and it's a basecoat/clearcoat and not a tri coat. The color/paint is the first thing everyone will notice, number one comment about my car is about the color. A distance second is about it being a Cobra.
I helped convince a builder near me to spend the money for the Randy Candy Red and he has literally thanked me at least half a dozen times.

The paint is beautiful, but the artist made it a masterpiece!
Fine job Mr. Kleiner!

Those fabulous pics make it appear strikingly similar to Antimatter Blue, the color you mentioned in the “Show Me You Blues” thread a while back, and which led me to the color of my choice. Thanks Jeff!

Art,
This is Antimatter and they are quite different. Antimatter is mostly black and only picks up blue in really intense sunlight:

Jeff,
Is there an antimatter that does the same with a dark cherry or purple? They both look fabulous as far as blue goes…. I may need to go with that antimatter blue. So damn good…

Oh hell yes! Bam! That is so so good. I will call again to see about getting in your queue. I tried a little bit ago but think you were at the London cobra show. Not in a hurry. That is so good….

These are amazing colors! I love how they all pop in the sunlight. Great work!
I'm not a purple guy but that color could turn me into one!

I have been looking a Painthouse and have two colors I a think about ordering. Have you found it to be more cost effective than 3 stage in a similar color? Has anyone on the forum used Tropical Glitz paint?
