Yay or Ney...

Ok so I want to finish painting my car... BUT I ran out of paint... So I need to order more...

Was begining to think about possible 2color/3color simple paint jobs I could do...

So here is some photoshops...

Paris as she sits...

Paris Pink Bottom:

Paris Pink bottom silver:

And then I thought about maybe the Burnt orange from neon SRT4 on the bottom.. But I got too lazy to photoshop..

so those are some ideas..

I don't want Grey/silver bottom... or anything too dark, it needs to stand out from the black Maybe silver pin striping..

I'm actually not too keen on the 3 color combo, maybe if it was a small pinstripe instead..

O and any ideas have to be relatively easy to tape off and do myself.. ie straight lines

More like Lemans sunset orange from 350z...

Maybe it would look better darker... Like the Burnt Orange from dodge neon...

Do not touch the paint. Rivet on unpainted black fender flares. Add wheels that stick out to the edge of the flares. Dominate.

Definitly say black. If I had to make another choice, I'd go with the burnt orange bottom. . . maybe its biased because I hate pink, but I think straight black will just give you a cleaner look; modded or not.

I think i am going with burnt orange bottom... Because I live on a dirt road and the bottom half of the car is what always gets dirty...

the burnt orange wont show the dirt as bad as just black...

This is the third time in 2.5 years since I've owned the car it has been painted...hopefully the last time too... Black shows scratches too easy...

The fenders aren't here yet.. I ordered a set of Symms wide fenders... once they get here the painting process will begin...

stay black imo, yes black shows swirl marks, but that just means you need to be more careful when you wash it

funny thing is my RS is going for its 4th paint job on the front end in 4 years, grats to people who don't know how the hell to do their job

Leave it black. The car is going to look like garbage if you dont.
