What color should D Money's car get sprayed?
�
�
Post up what color I should spray it. I'm hoping I can afford this and get it done before HIN DC. It's almost definate, so post up what you think would go with my currect interior and brakes. It has to match:
Teal- (mu brakes)
Red- (Bride interior)
Quick back story. It got painted a custom 3-stage white 3 months ago and it was originally black. Well, the paint shop sucks and I think they didn't match the paint right when I had the bumper re-painted. I like the white, but may change up. If I can't get comfortable with a new color, ill just spray the color the new is350 pearl white. I'm into shows but im more into being a street car. Nasioc seems to love my car because it's clean, but the judges at the shows feel it's simple compared to others, well atleast until they see the brake setup and full bride interior. Anyways, it's tough to balance both and im trying to accomidate them as best as I can. I STILL WANT TO STAY SIMPLE, SO NOTHING WILD!!!!
Needless to say, I will never go to this body shop again, they suck sooo bad! I am going to go with my original painter, the one who sprayed my eclipse house of kolor kandy tangerine back when I was still in highschool.
Pics for those who never saw it, even though I doubt that's possible. :lol:

What color is it now, and what color wheels are you running? Current pics?

There was a wagon here a long while back that was a Ferrari Grey. It was awesome. I still fantasize about painting my wagon that color...
I still dig the ghetto spray can flat black when its done well.

EDIT: Umm... okay. I just saw your pic, and WHY, WHY, WHY would you want to paint a pristine white bugeye? Your car looks awesome. Leave it!

'tween the two...red. I'm not a big fan of having everything one color though. Interior/exterior matching is the one area you can get away with it and it looks great. In fact, the stock black/dark grey parts would complement it all very well, and provide enough offset to not look like ghetto.
def not teal...regardless of project mu...it is Teal!

i say leave it white. if you are changing i would say something dark black or dark gunmetal

If your good at photoshop, feel free to change the color of the car.
I was thinking teal possibly.

why do you want to change the colour at all? I LOVE your car in white.
| dibblejr | 02-20-2007 06:41 PM |
Teal would look different, but it might grow old to you quickly. There are lots of colors that go with the white.
There are way too many red, IMO. You trying to get this done B4 Tuner Wars?
Good luck

i would leave it white. i dont think any other color would work as a bridge between teal and red (christmas-y colors)

puke green lol cuz its a bug eye ahh j/p must be a rican that owns the car or someone with poor color matching skills green calipers/rotors and gold rims with red lugs hum now all you need to do is paint the car s2000 yellow and your good.
| D Money | 02-20-2007 06:43 PM |
Here is the thing, the paint is fresh, about 2 months old, BUT it's just not sick enough. It's corvette artic white with white pearl, and the body shop sucks at trying to get it to match so I am just going to respray the whole entire car, obviously at another shop this time.

I take it you won't be driving this car very much any more D? I was gonna have some Bronze pearl put on top of my white but when I found out that touching up would be a real pain I X-nayed that idea.
Ever thought of some sort of Gold color?

you should do a bright green interior w/ some gold dolla signs on the seats. And for the roof liner do a dolla sign in diamonds. don't forget about the dolla sign rims! Bling bling FTW!:)

Leave it white and add some red or teal vinyl. That way when you are done with the shows, you can have it clean white again how you like it. I think the white helps to offset the red tow hook and makes the breaks and CF stand out more.

Nobody mentioned Aston Martin's trademark gray color. It's sometime's gray, sometimes green, sometimes blue. It's a crazy color, but very professional.
| boost junkie | 02-20-2007 07:57 PM |
I really like the white. If you get it repainted though, maybe go with a pearl white or white with a gold metallic flake in it to complement the wheels.

I'm liking the BMW grey also, but definatly go with something along that lines^.

| ultraspdWRX | 02-20-2007 08:37 PM |
if I was you, I'd paint it a color that nobody would have no clue what the paint code is or the color is. so that you'll be original and EVERYONE will know that's D MONEY's CAR on nasioc.com.
I had my old integra painted olive emerald green metallic off a 2003 Volvo
V70 wagon. Alot of people complimented me on the color, and wanted to get the paint code but they never found out. So now the young kid I sold it too that loves to talk **** knows where his car came from because everyone remembered my car from past car shows.

| Juego | 02-20-2007 08:46 PM |
If you want to be different, why not paint it Sepang Bronze Metallic. It's on the M5 & M6 it looks ridic in person. I saw it last year at the Philadelphia Int. Car show has a nice flake to it.

anyone REAL nasty at photoshop and can make the car look real?
I can't picture it these colors but guys, I really don't want something with huge flakes and stuff. It's a subaru and my theme is all jdm, so a flake paint job just would not work. I was thinking just a nice metalic color, something that could match. If worse comes to worst, ill just paint the car the new lexus pearl white.
