I think GM had a similar color a few years back called Canyon Mist or something like that. Was pretty sharp IMO.
Edit: Wow I thought that was paint....looks decent anyway.

Bodywork first, then it was time to mask everything off.

Then the car gets 5 coats of a black base.

Then it's time to mix the clear topcoat with the burnt copper pearls.

Is that really a vacuum cleaner spray gun? :facepalm:
You aren't going to run that through a real gun would you? Even a primer gun.

Besides, Dipyourcar.com doesn't call that a vacuum cleaner spray gun, they call it a "turbine". :lmao2:

I find those cheapies to be pretty useful for small job.
