Is it alabaster or Oyster Gold?

 

Oyster Gold

 

Hi Jason, nice look! Is there some sort of trim 'clip-on' between the rear of the passenger side door and rear quarter panel? That looks like a significant 'gap' there. Just curious...


.

 

Good eye, that is just a door trim protector. Peel and stick. Not many pocks in the paint, so I’m trying to keep it as protected as I can in places like that.

 

First oyster gold coupe I have seen - looks nice. Most are verts, like my neighbor has next door.

 

Thanks so much.

 

Yes, that is a good looking color. Can you describe how you blacked out the wheels? I have an Alabaster 2004. The wheels are chrome plated, I don’t like them much.

 

Usually not a fan of this color, but you made it look awesome! Great job!

 

I actually used the hyper dip spray from Dip Your Car online. It was hyperdip black emerald metallic. I used piano black first and didn’t like it so I peeled it and used the emerald black. I wanted to use the dip your car stuff so if I ever sell it I can simply peel it and it’s factory again.

A few more Pics of it…

 

Thanks! I might give that a try. The wheel dip, that is.

 

I got to say that is one sweet looking XF. You know what to do and how much to do without going overboard. That is just way cool. The mods you've chosen given that paint color work so well together. I can only imagine how many heads that turns. WELL DONE!

 

Thank you. I was trying to go for subtle and tasteful. I have some slasher stripes for it, but I feel it will take it more youthful than I wish. Thanks again for the comment. Cheers.

 

Totally agree on the slasher stripes.
