Yeah can't go tangelo good buddy of mine had that color on. 650+ rwhp 99ss and he's painting his ls2 chevelle the same color. Definitely not doing the "real flames" <~~~~ done way to much. Marble is pretty cheesy. I'm looking for like a wild pearl color or I was thinking candy black over a BRIGHT silver base coat with semi gloss black stripes. Or a lambo orange or green with carbon fiber sheets making the stripes.

Just a word of caution... Alsa's chrome paint(along with House of Kolor and others) eventually turns bronze after extended exposure to UV rays.
Look into PPG's Vibrance collection. There are MANY gorgeous and amazing colors in there!
There is technically no such thing as candy black.. only black basecoat added to either intercoat clear, or topcoat clear. But I know what youre talking about doing. That would look pretty tough, but would be a pain to spray/fix, not to mention pricey!

Is that right. Over what span of time would it turn?to bronze? Would the fact that. The car is garage kept make a difference?

anytime you keep a car out of the sun any paint will last longer

PPG vibrance are very nice pearls..I spray PPG at my shop i like the stuff..but they deffinatly dont have any of the crazy stuff like alsa.. I actually jsut mixed up some Impulse Blue from the pontiac GTO for my car, 2qt's of paint had almost a whole bottle of blue pearl in it..its very pretty i actually painted my intake and valve covers in the color

Why would the chrome paint turn bronze? its just very finely ground aluminum? could be a cheap clear yellowing out making it look bronze maybe??.I know the stuff i painted chrome a few years ago is still chrome looking.
