This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

GSX stripes

    Okay, I tried very hard not to have to post this thread or have to ask this question. But I checked the archives and all the threads I found say to check the archives. In other words, I never found a good answer.

    So how does one achieve the semi-flat black found on the GSX stripes? A paint store guy said that black base coat without clear would probably be close, but would not guarantee the results or longevity of the paint. Another idea I had was to get some Super Bee matte black from Year One (big bux!).

    >>>Black paint code - 898-98811<<<<

    What brand? Does that include the amount of gloss or just the color?

    A friend is just now painting a clone GSX car. The black paint for the hood and stripes is Dupont HHM 6400. Called Hot Rod Black. Its a Urethane. The catalyst is HHA 6405. A quart of color along with the catalyst was just under $100, and should be enough to do the hood and all the stripes. It covers nice and is an excellent match to original.

    We had a real time trying to find the exact match for the QQ color. But we finally came up with the base/clear formula. There is a local supplier that can still get the lacquer so we had him mix a quart of QQ color, sprayed a test panel and compared to my original paint GSX. Exact match. Lays so flat and covers so nice. Barely needs any buffing. So we had that mixed in Dupont base/clear. As he's going to be using the car quite a bit on the street, and in lots of hot weather sunshine. There were a lot of "close" formulas, but they weren't close enough.
    I'll be going lacquer with my car when it gets redone. Its a more original look.
