Green for the money, Gold for the honey. That is some pretty fat metallic flake in that paint, I can dig it. ---

Thanks All. The '66 Riviera Is my first car I ever had… and Still have. I got in i’n '99 and I drove it for a year then parked it to finish and paint it. It has a Worked 425ci Buick NAILHEAD and a Switch Pitch th400 and the car has 58k miles on it. The t top car which is actually called Hurst Hatch roof’s was my 2nd car it’s a '75 Buick Century pace car had a Buick 350 and th350 and 8.5 posi rear with factory antisway bar, however I traded it for the '84 regal that Is also on this forum that started life as a 3.8 2 bbl and 200 metric I have new wheels for the Riviera I’ll post some pics of them next. Yes I love the color It’s a PPG Vibrance color, funny thing is there is no metal flake in the paint, it’s a tricoat paint that has a black base and a semi transparrent mid coat that is all crystal pearl, it’s really weird but Very effective. It even has a slight color changing effect that I didn’t know it had until I sprayed the first part. I absolutly love this color and it goes with the forest green interior of the car too.

Chrome Is Expensive enough and getting things Rechromed is even more so. so Instead I’m using MirraChrome on my door handles, front and rear bumpers, hood spear, turnsignal bezels, trunk edge trim and my only mirror, that is all that is factory chrome on my Riv the rest was stainless. Cheaper than chrome, easyer to maintain AND reapair and MirraChrome has only a 2% reflectivness difference to the real deal. This stuff is very cool and VERY hard to paint and get right. I have one door handle finished and will post pics soon. work is slow but steady of the car and buying a new house and garage complicate things a bit. i’ll keep you all posted and thanks for checking this thread out. ---
