well, as alot of you know im coming to the end of my project, and we're getting real close to paint time. i thought i had my colors picked out, but a few things happened, and im basically back to square one.
so with that said, i need your guys input. ive been debating for about 4 months on what colors to go with and just cant decide, or even narrow down my list, lol.
what would you guys like to see? what colors draw your eyes? i still like the thought of a blue black combo, but im open to anything. basically looking for a 2 or 3 tone. probably a 2 tone with a 3rd color dividing line. possibly airbrushed in.
any colors you want to throw out there(serious posts) are much appreciated. for those that dont know the progress of the car, can look here:

thanks in advance
I actually like the blue black idea. I think it'll look more "clean" when it's done. That's just me tho.
well as u can probably tell from my 3 paint jobs my car has been through.... I prefer loud/flashy colors. having said that, I think your car would look tits in a silver or gold. I just dont think that a regular black paint belongs on a car with so much work! so a unique body calls for a unique paintjob, IMO.
im more of a fan of the blue black scheme you got going on now... but im more of a low profile kind of guy and try not to make my car extremely noticeable
1997 RedR - ZedR
im thinking like the color of sti's and the black onyx of scion tc's
with possibly a bit of flake in them? not sure just an idea
Lanman31337 -F = fatties = do not want. A little chunk in the junk is ok though.
manta green... nuff said cuz it = HOT
Corsica - i agree. i love the blue black combo. maybe just a brighter blue with some flake. but i gotta step it up a notch to compliment the work on the car.
Orlando - agreed. im looking for something that stands out more. just dont want to go to over the top.
Colin - hmmmm...i appreciate those suggestions!
Manta - boy i hope thats a joke
Tht bright blue that Nissan puts on the 350Z bottom, and silver top with black accent or black top and silver accent. Then again, I like the Caddy pearl white too.
Gotta keep on livin', L-I-V-I-N
a candy green bottom with black top with a house of kolors limetime green pinstripe dividing them. dont know why but it was a idea that i have liked
^^^ive actually been looking at green alot lately....i seen this camaro at world of wheels with "antifreeze green" paint and ive really liked green ever since, lol. hmmmmmm
I think you should do something with the crystal fx, that stuff is pretty amazing.
Green, Orange, or blue.
I've always wanted to change my car to orange instead myself...I'm a sucker for a show car done in orange...I just love the look.
Maybe some HOK white pearl with some HOK candy apple red with a flaky silver pinstrip dividing the two.
or HOK blue with a pearl white two tone, HOK candy green with white pearl, sliver accenting any of those colors will work
I think green would look nice. One that's not to bright and neon looking or too dark. If you go with orange might I suggest the orange from the new vettes or the blazen orange from the gto's
Dark green with a black top half!
Best Time 15.917 at 86.86MPH
I think a 2 tone with the White Gold off of the 02-03 escalades, with a Black roof ( pillars up only ) would look hot! I did a quick search on the net and couldnt find the exact color I'm talking about on the escalade but if I do I will post it up. I have also seen it on a customers pontiac that comes through every once in a while.
seriously manta green with black pearl. do it joe do it. screw two tone, it only hides @!#$.unless ur trying to hide stuff..
Thats what i always planned on doing..i got a test panel done in it and it was badass.. kinda wish i didnt trash it lol
manta green owns and i was not joking ass
ive personally always loved the way a. dot did his two tone with the black and orange. if you can find some good pics of his car you will see what i mean. the way he carried the black down alittle bit onto the top of the fenders and all they way straight back. i think if you did something like that with a dark blue instead of orange, it would be tits
blue flake FTW ....thats how i wanna paint my car down the road
thanks for all the input guys....alot of good suggestions there...im gonna try and narrow down the colors to a list, and i guess we'll go from there.
thanks again guys. really sparking my imagination now!
sunset orange with a black top!
