On the flip side, pearlescent paints are even more susceptible to marks, they’re even more difficult to repair than metallics, and special care needs to be taken when washing a pearlescent car, as they’re relatively susceptible to damage from tiny bits of grit that may be on your car-washing sponge. What’s matte car paint? The Cupra Formentor can be specified in Magnetic Tech matte paint There are various methods for achieving a matte finish: using a primer with a high epoxy content, a high PVC content in the paint itself, or a flattening agent in the lacquer.

The cost to paint a car in the factory varies from paint to paint, while getting a respray done can cost thousands of pounds, as components need to be removed or thoroughly masked off, and a car will often need repairs or corrective work before it is resprayed. Individual body panels can often be resprayed for hundreds rather than thousands, though. How do I find my car’s paint code?Mainstream manufacturers tend to offer a limited range of pearlescent colours, but high-end brands often offer dozens. Going even further, most high-end car manufacturers can create any colour you like. If you want your car to match your goldfish, or you want an entirely new colour, they will gladly oblige. Having relieved you of several tens of thousands of pounds for the privilege. Dirt shows more obviously on metallic finishes than solids, so you may end up cleaning your car more often. Be careful, though, as the paint marks more easily. Use a proper car shampoo – washing up liquid contains abrasive salts – and make sure there’s no grit on the sponge. Over-zealous polishing causes swirl marks and car wash brushes can leave marks, too. But any marks can usually be carefully buffed out.

If your car has scratches and damage that won’t buff out, we can help. Our car touch-up paint is colour-matched, which means it will seamlessly blend into your existing finish, making scratches a thing of the past.

You pay for it, though, with special finishes often adding thousands of pounds to the cost of a car. The vast majority of cars come with a ‘solid’ paint finish as standard, with metallic and pearlescent finishes costing extra (see below). At the top end of the market, the only limits are imagination and money. There are cars out there with real silver, gold and even diamonds mixed into the paint. Yes, it's me again. I have had success finding a n.american code for Lynx Flag Blue Metallic, or at least, the Lotus version of it which is called Racing Blue. I found this after asking friend and interesting car owner David Cohen who I should talk to. He suggested Standox and they stunned me by bringing up the formula immediately! What is depressing is that Standox is now part of Dupont....However, I find that it is too smokey grey as Doug Nye suggestedYou either love matte finishes or you don’t. If you do, you may well feel the extra expense and hassle is worth it. But don’t be surprised if your car turns out to be difficult to sell on. What’s special-finish car paint? The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc was a one-off car with a paint finish featuring fine layers of porcelain; it was not cheap Worried about your technique, or do you need some pointers on how to get a premium finish? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Watch our guide on how to spray paint a car and you’ll get a great finish first time. The pearlescent lustre is created by ceramic crystals in the paint that both reflect and refract light. That gives the colour a depth that even metallics simply can’t match. And under bright light, lighter shades become iridescent, appearing to be different colours from different angles, sometimes to spectacular effect. A metallic paint has tiny pieces of aluminium powder mixed into the paint. The metal particles reflect light, hence the shine. Metallics look their best under direct, natural light, but even on a dull day they still shine. Pearlescent paints shine even more brightly and deeply than metallics, but they tend to be more expensive, and also need more car taken of them.
