I think the shadow chrome could look good. DNA paints have a new product out. Ive heard good things. Or even a charcoal metallic kinda like the thunder ssv's

Yeah man I've used DNA sc. It's bloody great. I've used ppg's aswell and it doesn't hold a candle to dna's imo. With DNA it's a super long process bit it pays off. You don't see any of the pigment like you do with ppg.

Haha yeah ppg ain't good when they try and make special effects paint. They make good commercial paint that's about it.

Haha wow! I've never actually seen paint flake off into such a big piece before. Must have had a **** load of flex additive in it or something? Haha

Edit: also the paint on that kenworth roof is phantom purple so it must be a ford thing lol.

Not to sure was flaking off and put a blower at the edge and that happened haha. Maybe a combo of fibreglass cab and weather had something to do with that? Looks like a sh*tty job to fix!

It's coming off pretty easy actually. Would say weather has definitely played a part because it's only on the very top. The paint is sticking down the sides if the roof.

Ppg has accepted responsibility for the job and gave us 4 litres of colour, 4 ltr's of dp40 primer, 5 of clear, 3 of basecoat and 2pack hardner and 4 of base and 2pack reducer. All to paint the top of a roof haha. Cheers ppg!
