Ive made my own as well but the result is very close to the aston martin colour. Ive saved a fortune.
2l of white tinter
1l of black tinter
1 tub of white pearl
1 tub of black pearl
£125 total.
I also got a decent laquer mipa CC6 5 litre kit £99
I used to use max meyer but its hard to get hold of in my area at the minute and i dont like paying standox prices lol. The mipa range i was apprehensive of at first but used their base laquer which is CC4 and was impressed so have used it for a while now.
The pearls i get are top qaulity but i import them direct from america at a fraction of the cost of whats available over here. HOK IP04 is around £90 a tub. I can get identical pearl same size tub. £16 delivered.
