Not my favorite type of paint to spray, worse yet pain in the ass to have to blend. Pearl 3 stage or tri stage. At least it's a Mopar but a newer one. Leon.P1050755.JPGP1050757.JPGP1050760.JPG

Nearly every body/paint guy talks like this color is a nightmare to work on. It's a beautiful color, but I wouldn't buy a vehicle that color just because any paintwork would be expensive.

1969 Charger R/T 440/auto (waiting to be restored)

1959 Chevy Apache short bed stepside
1968 Charger (glorified parts car)
Yes, I know I have too many cars. My wife reminds me daily.

Yeah, any tri stage Candy or Pearl sucks. The worse part is when you have to spot repair it, not like spotting a solid color which is easy. And then you got like different variations to deal with  :brickwall:  :brickwall:  :shruggy: & if you bought the same paint from 3 different paint company's you'd get 3 different colors.

Yeah, expensive, my boss took it upon himself to order the paint himself, only got a pint but he ordered the wrong variation so there goes $200 or $300 worth of paint I couldn't use on it & could not return. will sit on bench for next 20 years until it gets thrown away?  :brickwall:  :brickwall:
even when he ordered the right variation it still didn't match & wrong color

There is a color on the Challengers from 10 years ago, I don't know how long they used it.
Redline Tri-color pearl was the description I was told.
It is a metallic red that is beautiful. I've considered it for this car if/when I need to repaint it.

I'm familiar with the Redline Red, Sprayed it a few times. It's a candy color with no pearl if I remember right. The new candy's are much easier to spray, like this redline is candy red over a red base. not like the old days when you sprayed over silver or gold which is much more difficult. John Kosmoski from House of Colors calls these new candy's idiot proof. Leon.
