Nice- does three coats make it any nicer looking than one coat?

[alko]

Damn! I don't like white cars but goodness that looks beautiful! I've never seen a white car shine like that.

Damn! I love the 370s! Beautiful work! Nice exhaust too!

Thanks slim...

Usually not, as the 1st coat is the base, then the 2nd covers any missed spots, then the 3rd is just icing on the cake :) The difference is probably minimal at best, it could be just my eyes deceiving me, but to me, I do notice a slight difference. The paint just seems to look "wetter". White is hard to get depth and reflectivity on for sure, but when viewed at an angle with lots of light (flourescent or other), it really dances on the paint.

I never got that much "dancing" with other LSP's on white. SN was hands down the best.

Hey Alko...how's the Acura treating ya? I miss my Integra! Thank you very much. I never liked white either... until I saw Nissan's "pearl white" on this Z, sitting at the dealer lot last September. Wife and I were sold on it. I had 5 black cars (various, honda's nighthawk black with flake, along with Nissan's flat black before)

Thank you sir. The exhaust is my favorite feature on the car...looks, sound, and performance :) Those invidia's with Ti tips are just a sight to behold.

Looks nice but what does it really look like without all the photo effects?

:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree:

thats what i want to see as well... natural pictures... not edited pictures.

unless items like contrast were played with as well, an HDR image only balances light and tones between different regions.

Pretty cool stuff which I'm sure Bill knows all about.

Just asked a pro I know about this and she sent me this link:

yes its pretty cool stuff but not in this category. Personally i prefer to see the true actual shot rather than enhanced picture. I would rather see how that pearl white truly looks rather than edited.... just my opinion.

Come on guys.... I've been on this forum long enough. You guys know me... lol. Richard we even traded samples, lol. You guys know I keep my car spotless and freshly detailed EVERY time... hehe. No rain ever. The photos were HDR because they were cool... new thing I am getting into for photography.

But to cater to you, here are some non-HDR photos. Folks who know me on this forum and have seen my car and know me can attest to the power of SN as an lsp :props:

My point is for white colored paint, it's very hard for pics to capture how good it looks, except only in person. Black and Red look great in pics and in person...

[93fox]

those look alot better! :dblthumb2:

I painted my mustang white and i will soon be wetsanding it all and doing a 3 step polish. White is those kind of colors that take a lot of work to make them stand out a lot. it is possible, just that it requires its work and time to get that look! :xyxthumbs:

[JRivers]

Very, very nice...awesome car.
BTW I do like the non-HDR pics as well. That pic with the industrial bldg in the background is money. Good job!

[sportscarhiatus]

And here's a shot of the pearl white... I love the flakes, esp in the sun. SN really makes it pop.
