^^^^^ sick i like this pic ,nice ride

 

thanks! haha i wish i had my dslr with me instead of taking this shot with my phone.

 

mine does as well, I've got two friends with black evos, and they look like a jet black. They were repainted, but both body shops used the paint code on the fire wall..... Maybe mitsu used a different clear?

I waxed the hell out of mine yesterday and I love the purple.... Makes me want really dark bronze wheels......

 

Chris that would of been a hell of desktop wallpaper!

 

yeah i know, now i gotta wait for the next snowstorm haha.

 

what front mount chris?

 

had a shop paint match my lip with color code and got the purple flake. sure they got the code matched?

 

It's a greddy fmic.

 

Like he said, if it doesn't have the flake its not the right color. Input our color code into paint mixers and the flake will be there. I've had bumpers,fenders, and my engine bay repainted and they all have the flake.

 

werd, there's a repainted fender on the car, and the flake is there, just not as prominent as the factory paint

 

I guess they did screw up then. I'll remember when I get something painted I'll buy the paint from mits.

 

you dont have to do that. just make sure you find a shop that can do it right. can always ask if they will do a test spray for you so you can compare it

 

I had a ton of people ask me if I repainted my TB Evo because it has blue and purple flake.

 

Thats not needed, just give them the paint code, the paint name is not sufficient. The paint code will show up in any mixing station and be what mitsu specifies. Now for the paint not having sufficient flake it could be a bad mix or someone not spraying correctly. As someone else mentioned if you are that worried about it ask for a test panel of the paint and take it out in the sun to see if its what you want.

 

Don't think I've posted in a while, here's mine in a leafy autumnal vista.
