I was just told that in order to cover my car I would need about 2 quarts. Does this sound right?

don't do it unless your building a 100% show car!.

if your get it a scratch, or your car gets keyed or anything like that, you can't touch it up, your whole car needs to be repainted. or the paint will be very noticable, it won't change colors with the rest of the paint it will be like a diferent paintjob over that one part,

same goes with you decided to put on, or change your body kit.

ok... lets be reasonable. dude...its just not gonna fly. make a list on paper of pro's and con's if you got your 240 kam'd. then make a list of pro's and con's of what your 240 would be like in 2009 after being kameleonized. let the old girl at least go to the nursing home sane.

I guess its more of a pearlescent than a khameleon paint, but the topaz pearlescent that looks white/baby blue on TVR speed 6 and speed 12s would look awesome on my 93 coupe instead of the stock white I think.

I personally Think instead of chameleon you should go with Zebra or Leopard, a more savage beast if you will. . . GRRRR!!

Hey, my 240 is running for shiz right now, so to hear someone thaat has one running well enought to soak it in kam color, well, that kinda makes me smile. In response to the don't do it folks... you're right.... at least not the full rainbow stuff. A nice blue that shifts to a silver would be cool, if it is buried in clear. HOK makes a cool color shift paint that doesn't look ghetto. Another option is to choose your solid base color, and bathe it in HOK chameleon base ( I think that is what they call it!) It has all the color shift of kam, the coolness of pearl, and the behavior of any clear coat!!! It is not a clear coat, but I have been told that it goes on like a clear. Make sense???? Hope that helps.... but seriously, I have to join in on the flaming.... if you do the full blown kam rainbow stuff, just follow through with curb feelers and 22" gold spoke rims... OH, AND HYDRAULICS... AND CHAIN STEERING WHEEL, AND......

i got lucky and got the the whole gallon for $400 with clear coat, black base, and dark gray primer. I am getting it painted in three weeks from a local for $500. So I got lucky. I will post pics when I get it painted. I got the millenium body kit and shogun spoiler to go on. Also, I will be attending the 240sx convention in August. Hope to see some of you there. true 240 lovers are going to be there! Atlanta, ga.
