Titanium Pearl Paint.....Mmmmm

[DSMKevan]

What do you think about using this "titanium pearl" paint on a 1gb? I think it would look great if you "blacked out" the headlights and added in some black grill mesh. I was originally intending to paint my car silver, but this looks like a great subsitute.

I love how its light in sunlight, but it darkens a lot more when not exposed to light. Could anyone use photoshop to see what it looks like on a 1gb?

Yay or Nay?

 

[Phat95Talon]

Well I can't help you with the photoshop but I do like the color. I think that would be the better choice instead of silver.

 

[HokieDSM]

Hrmmm... I like that color.

 

[DSMKevan]

I like it a lot too, but would it suit a 1gb well? Its going to have stock wheels, so it will look weird....and the body donor is off of a non turbo 1992. Would it still look good?

It looks like it should be a fighter plane.

 

[Attack Eagle]

thas beautiful, and i think it would look nice on a 1 or 2 g.
also a lot better on rims than gunmetal

but then again I am real partial to titanium...

 

[DSMKevan]

But where the F&*^ can I get a paint code...and how much is taht stuff gonna cost?!

It appears they have it for other mitsu's, the name is the same but is the color? Ill have to make a trip to a mitsu dealer sometime.

 

[Coup D E'Tat]

Is this the same paint that was used on the final edition of the RX-7's (Spirit-R, I think?)

Regardless, really nice color.

 

[DSMKevan]

Yeah....I tihnk Im getting this paint now...Coup D'Etat replied :laugh:

Hmm what else should I do exterior-wise though? Im also adding in a evo8 FMIC and GM MAF at the same time of the conversion/repainting. Should I add some grill mesh similar to the evo8MR pic? Should I "blackout" the headlights? I have no idea.

hehe that's what I was gonna say

 

[Defiant]

I'm a genius

 

[blcknspo0ln]

That color is for the new 2005 Evo MR. Which hasnt arrived in the US yet (officially, there are a couple of test cars being spotted on roads) so the paint color and code are not in any mitsu records, online databases, etc. Wait a couple months and you could get that color more than likely.

 

[HokieDSM]

As you noted in the link, the color's available for the '04 Galant - so I don't see why you'd have a problem getting it. (Working on a ps now)

 

[futrgsxonr]

Yeah like he said, its the new color for the Evo 8 MR. Which I think should be called the Evo 9 cause it has more differences between it and the Evo 8 then the Evo 8 has with the Evo 7 but thats just me. I guess thats why I dont work in maketing. I've been looking for a gunmetal color and I love that, it looks awesome. It should be available in a couple months, and if not, you can always get a good shop to find the jdm code for it.

Later | "B"

 

[HokieDSM]

I think the Titanium Pearl would end up looking something like this...

 

[DSMKevan]

Umm I said before, the galant has the same paint available. Im going to call a mitsu dealer and find out the paint code.

 

[kevingst]

Amazing what you can find with google when you just take the time to look. This is also the color that I'd decided that I want to go with when I saw an '04 Eclipse here in town in that color. The paint code is H32. Here's a link where you can go to get more details on it:

the new nissan altima and i think maxima have that color available. almost exactly alike, by nissan its called "smoke" i saw it on an altima and my jaw dropped. its gotta be the sleekest color ive seen.

also, i think the mazda 6 has a color similar to this, im not sure how that one looks in the light but im positive the nissan color shines like that evo.

 

[DSMKevan]

Now I have to decide between the Mitsu and Nissan color....damnit twizzle!!! I think Ill go with the mitsu one though...opinions?

 

[Twizzle]

keep it mitsubishi all the way. i found out they make the eclipse in that color too, and an altima in smoke. it seems the titanium pearl is lighter, even in the shadows than the smoke color. its whatever you prefer:

You don't say? I'd never heard that.

 

[Twizzle]

look at the pic, its titanium pearl or whatnot.

 

[DSMKevan]

Look at this pic I just found in the gallery!!! THAT is what I want my car to look like!! The grills accent it so well.

I have to see what paint that is.

 

[kevingst]

I was merely being facetious because I'd already stated the fact about the new eclipses in post #18.
