Neat idea on the clear coat. I'll ask about that.


Some painters, the guys that never do custom stuff, haven't heard of it but it's simple to do because you can get the pearls in powder form. Just mix a little in the clear.


It seems to be getting more and more common. I think the major paint suppliers are realizing there is real money in custom colors. Especially in this economy with more and more people keeping their cars, working on and customizing them, as opposed to buying new. Our PPG rep gave me a book of custom colors, tints, and pearls/metallics. It's nice that a painter can stick to the system they are used to and do some custom work as well.

I've color changed several C4s where you cannot tell the color was changed. The C4 is actually easy (as far as color changes go) because they are all black under the hood. But, the hatch, doors, trim, etc does have to come off to do it right. It's still a lot of work but not nearly as much work as some cars I've done where the engine compartment has to be stripped completely. That's the biggest benefit of a color change on a C4.
