Best paint selection

[GODHATESME]

Classic or metallic my friends?

[futureproof]

Whatever you like, one is not better than the other. Metallic has the ability to change the pearlescent, classic doesn't have this. Metallic colors can bleed through to the second color (this t20 has a black secondary color with orange tint from the metallic orange) and classic doesn't have this.

Custom Crew Colours, of course. You can also add Pearlescents to them.

Actually you can set pearlescent paint on any of the colours by setting any paint, going into Metallics, backing out into the Plates and purchasing any of them, and going back into the pearlescent menu.

 

Furthermore, "classic" colours and "metallic" colours are actually the same, just that the latter are more shiny (not sure if that's a pearl effect applied to all of them).

There is no right or wrong but if I want a classic look I just choose a metallic color and give it black pearl, I find some of the classic paint jobs look like they have a light pearl or somehow affect the secondary paint.

Custom Crew Colours, of course. You can also add Pearlescents to them.

Zanthera and the others in his thread are the true diamonds of the forum. They actually provide something of great use and positivity but don't seek glory or attention like the negative thread baiters. The Cadillac Diamond crew color I found in the mega thread will always be used/appreciated.

Furthermore, "classic" colours and "metallic" colours are actually the same, just that the latter are more shiny (not sure if that's a pearl effect applied to all of them).

 

 

I'm pretty sure classic colors just have the pearl layer set to black. They are otherwise identical. Metallics come with a baked-in pearl coat, but you can select a custom pearl color at additional cost. If you select black as the pearl color, it will effectively be a costly way obtain the equivalent classic color.

Aye that's more than likely it - I just didn't know whether there was some other game mechanic (like what?) causing the shine.
