Are you sure it's blue paint?

It could be the reflection making it appear blue, but I'm not sure. Perhaps he was aiming for something like this:



With that said, I think the car is too flat...not enough matte.

Matte Black done correctly (IMO):

I don't know. The OP needs to come in here and clear things up and post more pictures. How long has the car been done or is it still in the booth? If it is finished can we have more pictures? What happend to the front bumper and head lights? Do you have pin striping anywhere on the car?

I see what you are talking about...But are you sure it's blue? Regardless of what color it is...it appears to be some sort of design.

What I was saying is that perhaps what you are seeing is something along the lines of the design on this hood:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29.../401351ff7.jpg

And maybe the reflection from the light is making it look blue. Hell, maybe it is blue. But I'm guessing it was put there for a reason.

Yeah, i see the ferrari paint/sticker on the ferrari, but on the G it is clearly blue paint. No reflection unless i have bad eyes.

Regardless if rijen is the first or not, all the pictures of G sedans posted in this thread are of his car.

You said in posts #11 and #14 that the picture I posted is someone else's car (other than rijen). I'm just trying to clarify that the picture I posted appears to be rijen's car.

Well, my best guess is that neither of our monitors are calibrated. So I can't be sure. I don't even know why we're arguing about that design on the hood. LOL

My whole argument is that the picture I posted is of the OP's car. Somehow I got side tracked arguing with you about something pointless.

It's all gravy.

What are the chances of two murdered out sedans running super sunken gold mesh wheels?

And what are the chances that there are two murdered out sedans that share a common photobucket account?





Edit: Sean - you're right. the car does appear to have blue accents in the paint. but still...i'm not sure why we were arguing about that, LOL. i think i got so caught up that i thought you were implying that the car i posted was different from the one the OP posted just because of the blue accent in the paint on the hood.
