Gunmetal steel paint color?

[Lumpyguy]

I am looking at a few ideas for paint colors, I am really liking the gunmetal steel look like the new Lambo in "Marrone Apus Matt finish" is there anyone out there with a greyish matte finish?

Lord Vader, your car is ready!

Similar to the 'Chromium Black' finish on my wheels... Looks great on the car.

Any other pictures? Where'd you find that one Bob?

Love that color.

[Hindsight]

Yeah that color is amazing. I wonder if it's a metallic pearl or just a metallic. Love the flat black trim against the gloss grey.

[riptide motorsport]

Agreed, sweet color!

[metalmaker12]

I really like it!!! I almost went with that color.

Love that color.

Dave posted that one facebook. on ffr website there is some pre SEMA pictures. They have a GTM in the same color.

Loving that color more and more.

The gtm looks satin while the 818 in the back looks glossy.

[metalmaker12]

GTM is satin

[Lumpyguy]

That satin color on the GTM is what I want on my 818! anyone know the paint codes for base and the satin clear?

As an FYI I recently painted a roadster in a similar gray:






It's a late model Ford color called "Dark Shadow Gray Metallic", Code CX.

I really like the fresh color change on the 818 and it has me thinking that I'd like to convince a customer to do a roadster in this gray but with white stripes!

Cheers,
Jeff

That roadster looks great Jeff!

The GTM and 818R are highlighting Sherwin Williams new paints - I read somewhere that they are planning to come out with an official line of FFR paints. I suspect this is one of them. There's a link in another thread to the photo shoots for the two cars.

Best,

Hi guys Tony@ffr both cars are painted with Sherwin Williams ultra 7000 , the paint code for the charcoal grey metallic is (605R) the 818R has gloss clear and the GTM has satin clear both look amazing !! two totally different looks!! see you guys at SEMA!!!

[tmoretta]

Anyone know of availability of other Sherwin Williams FFR colors? A while back FFR offered paint chips, I have not seen them offered lately. I am especially fond of the so called Sunrise metallic orange. No one has been able to give me a Sherwin Williams # for this color.

The colors look great but it's a horrible color for a 818R. As fast as a 818R will come up upon other race cars for safety reasons you want that thing to be damn near a fluorescent color! When I back out of my friends driveway a couple times I didnt see the car coming around the corner and every time it's been a shade of silver.

[Harley818]

but the lambo looks so hot in grey! and i like the FFR greys.

Do they make "rain lights" for the front of race cars?
