Is there someone who knows more than me about this little beauty or has more pictures?

Errrrrrrrrrr..................this exotic 348TB? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Mexican Fire coloured 348. Nice colour. Looks like they did a great job with it also. Have the same paintjob/colour on my old Ford Fairlane. Love those seats too. Will have to get some for my 348 I think.
In Hungary this flip-flop paintjob costs only 500$ if you can find someone who sells this type of dye without gain profit ...
Can you please explain a little better please? $500? Per litre.........for complete paintjob? When I had my Fairlane painted in October 2000, the paint had only just come out earlier that year. I paid AU$1000 per litre for it. Needed 3 litres to mix with the 'normal' paint to make this chameleon/flip paint effect on my car. The paint job on my Fairlane cost me AU$8000 with this paint and panel repairs also. The chameleon paint soon went up to AU$1200 per litre in 2001. Not sure what it is worth to buy now? Maybe dirt cheap?
$1000 per litre ? WOW !!!!!!! In Hungary, some things are cheaper than in the other countries (like Austria, Germany) The most expensive price of flip-flop paints in the city is about 300$ per litre ... Lets have an example ... (its not a flip-flop, but a custom paintjob) my friend have this custom paintjob for her Volkswagen Corrado (for only 800 us $) Image Unavailable, Please Login
"The most expensive price of flip-flop paints in the city is about 300$ per litre ... " But you can buy it 150-200 $ per litre ... for sure. I dont know that what is the procedure of flip-flop paintings (+ ground coat) etc. A little plus spending. [Sorry for my bad English ... im still learning this language.] Good Night!
That is cheap. Back then, it was AU$1000 per litre for that paint, Mexcian Fire. It flips 7 different colours. Also had another colour called Mystic Madness. That also flips 7 different colours. That also cost AU$1000 per litre. Mexican Fire flips all the red/orange/marone/gold/yellow colours. Mystic Madness flips all the dark blue/green/black/pink/purple colours. Also very nice. There was a cheaper alternative to the expensive paint. There was the basic 2 colour flip paint. Colours from red-blue. Blue-green. Yellow-green. Blue-purple ect...........That paint was cheaper at AU$500 per litre. Still expensive, considering normal 2-pac paint costs around AU$50 per litre. My car was the first car in town with Mexican Fire. A friend painted his little Ford Festiva Mexican Fire also, then sold the car out of town. There was also a Toyota Rav 4 with cheaper blue-purple flip paint. That looked cool also. Car was sold out of town too. My car is the only car here with that paint still. I still own the car.
Cheap. The car needs to be painted in a "base" coat before this flip paint is sprayed on. Mexican Fire, the car needs to be painted an orange colour before flip paint application. You basically pay for a normal paintjob, which is around AU$5000 here, then add the extra $3000 for 3 litres of flip paint to the total bill. Thats how it works out here. Goodnight buddy.
Now i found the most cheaper dye in the country ... its called GTI Magic Color 65 US $ per litre! (+ base coat for only 12-21 US $ per litre) Truly Good Night
Ahh, The Cromaflair 348, there is also one in that colour in Germany I think? Very expensive paint, an ex colleague developed a very similar colour for Nissan UK to use on a special edtion Primera GT and Micra, which I helped into production as a line colour! $65, a bit cheap and cheerful that is, you only get what you pay for. One of the dearest refinish paints that I remember was a Lapis Lazuli Blue with real gold flecks in it, the cost was around £1200@ litre but very special!! Regards, Phil.
