Today we thought we would look at some of the various paint colours and finishes on offer. There really is a massive array of colours. Many are specialist multicoat applications and range from paint with metallic flecks in them to metallic finishes and special lacquers. We are seeing a big increase in chrome paint finishes with silver being particulaly striking.

Liquid Gold also looks good and is quite popular. It can only be described as a gold paint finish that looks wet. The paint samples here come from House of Kolor, one of the premier specialists in unique car paint finishes. Application of most of these colours is best left to a professional as they can be tricky and often require very careful timing with regards to layers, baking and finishing.
