Custom Paint?

**transamprincess98** · 05-05-2007, 11:28 AM

Since I only have one more payment to make on the TA it's time to start really going nuts. I decided it's time to start on the appearance. My car is now 10 years old and the paint is starting to show it's age. I have some road rash and some nasty little acorns took a chip out of my spoiler....
I plan on adding a ram air HO hood from SLP and painting my baby. I want something different and unique though. Help me with some color ideas.
Currently she is bright red. I saw this awesome purple with a ton of black in it that looked sweet, but not sure I'd like it on the car. So boys and girls gimme some color ideas and if you can photo shop them on the car so I can see what it looks like

Thanks

the 04 GTOs had a Cosmos Purple Metallic .. That would be a great color and I have only seen one

i think a two tone navy blue and silver would look sick...kinda "foose" style where it is separated about half way up the car and split by a pinstripe of either orange or lime green to add contrast.

if you're lookign to save cost, you could always to a metallic red-that's basically just sanding the clear and refinishing it...that way you don't have to do the door jambs and firewall, etc

ps, if you get some ideas rolling and want me to photoshop schemes, just let me know.

The guy who is painting my car does custom bikes and big rigs for the most part. He is amazing and can do anything I want and isn't going to charge me much over the cost of paint...... Let's see some cars

I was thinking something like that new blue they have on the saturn Skye

Ah the perks to having a set of tits

The Front Grill is a Bright Red for the first 10% of the car, then it is all Balck behind that, but the key is that the paint looks like it is Peeling back due to the intense speed! It was ablack, but the red demon is coming out.

Get a black base, then spary a blue or purple pearl over it. We did a corvette with the blue pearl like that at the shop about a year ago and of all the things we have ever painted thats by far my favorite. But a silver base with a brandy wine kandy over it is amazing too.
