Car Repaint !! You Pick My Color
 
Whats up guys/gals....well i've come to take a poll (hand count since i cant post a poll).. i've been wanting to repaint my car.. its a 03 Silver Ex. when i bought the car i wanted black but they didnt have it so i had to settle for what i got. not to fond of silver so i have decited to repaint...i have a carbon fiber hood, and will be getting a Carbon Fiber truck as well. so thouse have to stay the original color...unless you can paint Carbon Fiber. in it self is another question.......so heres the colors im thinkin of

#1. Black w/ pearl (sp) coat (please suggest a peal color)
#2. Pearlesent Red (it flips to an orange red)
#3. any color you suggest that looks good.

other info the interior to my car is black w/ silver trim (painted)

And Should i paint the Carbon Fiber as well. ?

What ever color wins .is the color its going to be...
i have about 1500 saved for the repaint so if you have any idea what cost is it would greatly help. :help: :tup: :_bow:

Thanks.............

i say go with black, i have black 01 with carbon fiber hood and i think that combo looks sick

nindoo 11-29-2004 01:12 PM

I think you should keep silver its goona look really nice with the carbon fiber parts your getting. Its much better looking when its dirty. Mines black my darn car is dirty all the time. Is your paint damaged? Just buy some meguiars wax and give your car a nice wax its goona look sick.


I don't know if for 1500 youll get a paint job better than stock. Keep in mind your new car has I think a few clear coats as well. Its not a bad paint job.

I think you should go with the house of kolor planet green with the lime gold candy, i would leave the carbon fiber black but add the candy to it..

acurastype01 11-29-2004 02:29 PM

#1 black..because it goes soo well with carbon fiber

abmerop18 11-29-2004 04:41 PM

should strip it down to bare metal then clear coat it. clear owns you. think about the weight savings of not having any paint too :rofl:

02ciVike 11-29-2004 04:42 PM

actually i have seen this awesome looking "shit brown" colored vic in a magazine or on tv one time. it was a 6th gen coupe with that shit brown color. the interior was red and the engine was pimped red. It was weird but oh so gorgeous.
oh yea... def go for the black

blkdak99rt 11-29-2004 09:42 PM

im doing this to my truck soon house of color sparkle black with the ice blue top coat i figure with all the curves in my trucks body lines it will look awesome

down_ 11-29-2004 09:51 PM

ok i keep hearing about house of kolor......and i've been to there web page ..but were the hell can i see color samples.

Mystic3030 11-29-2004 09:52 PM

uh, I dont think your gonna get a very good paint job for $1,500, especially not perl or candy. From my exp a good paint job costs about 4 grand.

If you do go black, and get the cf stuff, and decide to pearl coat, just pearl coat the cf, don't paint it black as well. Personally, I'd probably go with a Black Cherry color.

born2xLr8 11-29-2004 09:58 PM

Black looks good but it gets dirty too easily. I think silver and cf would look good. cf on white looks good too...as well as some kind of blue pearl. You have to make the decision yourself. It's your car and you're gonna be the one who's driving it. Color it to your taste.

blkdak99rt 11-29-2004 10:00 PM

to look at house of kolor find a local paint shop that has a paint book and look through it

down_ 11-29-2004 10:04 PM

I have all the CF already....and so far i was leaning to black....so its going to be black...but i still want a pearl coat. but not sure what color. was thinkin red. or so.

ty.barrack 11-29-2004 10:18 PM

OK then Black with a blue pearl, it'll look electric
