Yes that is PC, it's a color called Candy Umbar, I picked up from AllPowderPaints.com. You can powder coat your own stuff with a old Kitchen oven. I use the eastwood powder coat gun. Get the dual voltage gun if your looking.

This part has a base powder coat of Candy Umbar and a clear high gloss powder coat to give it the shine you see.

 

You did this plating yourself? Very nice Great work!

My version of AMG copper

[/QUOTE]

 

So much to say:
The copper bits on the Bentley? Ick. Looks like trashy oligarch trash.
The Bentley itself? Nice Aston Martin rip off guys.

The interior on the Bentley? Most beautiful? Really? For my tastes, I beg to differ. Way to many bright metal parts. Instead of highlights, it just feels like bright spatter. And the over all interior space feels unresolved. The big central console structure just slams through the space without any grace and only serves to make the two seats feel more unrelated. Then add in a totally out of place shifter grip thing and it just feels like it's not sure if it's a big cruiser or a cramped racer. Fail.

Those AMG calipers are very handsome, but not copper colored. More gold than anything else. And the copper bits on that interior close up, those look very nice. I agree that if used on interior bits, restraint is the key to success. I would also suspect that a satin or lightly brushed finish on copper would be just right within the right field color (dark grey, dark green, light creme, caspian blue...).

 

I've seen the look on a Q DB9... Just *****, looked good. I agree , too much not good.

 

Early AMG calipers in copper turned Gold with heat and over time. The 07 versions started that. Mine are a Fresh Copper (Honda color) then manually darkened with black and green and brown. Still a tad brighter than AMG's official ones but really dam close. They were sanded down, taped off, then painted, then custom curved decals, then cleared over. Unless tracked most car calipers don't hit temps high enough for normal paint to have issues so normal for these. On the car in person I never heard dislike and the 3 that I have done, everyone sold within 2 days where I buy and sell cars. But a darker brushed copper for a AM caliper would look great I think, if possible.

The interior yes, brushed copper and not shiny bright like the Bentley and done with taste. Must have corresponding Threads, leather, facia. Not sure what those should be either. Would love opinions, Might have to buy one specifically so these colors would work. Not sure a White thread Black interior with CF or Piano Black would work, thats my choice to begin with. I think the white would throw it off too much.

Bentley------ Looks great for a show car, not for something you take people to dinner in or go for a trip. With a saddle interior the brighter copper I think you can get away with, kinda a steam punk look mixed with dark grey's. Can be done, but would need to be a special car, not a Garage queen or DD. Make sense?


I got a Lambo Aventador in my buiding that is Baby Blue with black wheels and at first I thought it was too much, but that grew on me too. Kid is 23 and has a 2015 G wagen AMG beside it. Must be nice (college student from Dubai)
