What color should I paint my car?

[[ion] C2]

After I get the body work done (body kit holes filled in/smoothed, rust repair, etc.), I will likely have the entire car repainted.

I like all of these colors pretty equally. One with the most votes gets to be the one on my car.

This is targeted to occur before next ASS.


CANDY RED

Deep purple with white pearl coat

[whiterider00]

Non metallic grey. Like a glossy primer.

[pimpalero2003]

blurple!! :) like the candy and gunsmoke color wouldn't be bad either.
orential blue?

[MMGT1]

Blue gets my vote

[cherrington17]

going for car show attention, or just regular daily attention?

anything nonstandard works for daily. Car shows, go with candy red.


Personally, i like the candy red anyway. :lol:

[Shiwnath]

Have you tried photoshopping different colors on your car?

[Chris2000]

Khaki color might look pretty sweet with your car imo. Google images for khaki car paint there's some pics of a s13 with it.

Gross.

Regular daily, probably either gray (because it looks business-like) or that kind of grayed out blue, because it's different.

The Silvia looks okay with it, but I tend to hate beige anything.

glossy black with green and purple flake. Like pimpalero did. :lol:

[[ion] C2]

I can't get any of the blues to look good...

[G.I.Ceo]

I think with those rims with the black looks the best. I really like red though and it is easier to keep clean. A dark midnight blue has always been my favorite for a car.

[Redog]

Just wait about 6 months and it will paint it self, rust! :lol:

[Dobbie]

Charcoal with some yellow flake. I don't have any pics to post but it would look sweet.

[tw0123]

not sure how it would look or how possible it is... what about black with a candy apple flake? Shines dark but sparkles in the right light...

flat blue

[mastershake]

i vote darker gray or black.

[sleepyalero]

black has my vote.

[spc2125]

i vote black but get different rims because the gray and black dont match

[Redog]

Are you going to do the color change correctly? You know take the car apart and paint each piece, front and back, and the door jams trunk jams, engine bay, etc

[sleepyalero]

The rims look fine with it.

[xXManwhoreXx]

[mastershake]

heres one. dont criticize me for changing the hue of the whole pic. im lazy :P

also how do i just add the pic without the whole "attached pics" thing. i took webpage design but forgot how to do it.

[Chris2000]

If only colored tail lights were legal. That looks like sex on wheels mastershake

[wrestlingandrunning]

Black

[zearchyo]

[sleepyalero]

White wheels black car

ALERO'S ARE NOT HONDUHS ERIC!






Shame on you.......

[xXManwhoreXx]

It would look good on an alero...

[Redog]

White wheels black car

ALERO'S ARE NOT HONDUHS ERIC!


It would look good on an alero...

That would add about 300 HP, at the wheels. If it was a Honduh, you're talking about 450 more. werd!!!

[99-alero]

grey ftw

[xXManwhoreXx]

At least my honda has name brand wheels poser

edit: I feel I just started a shit storm

[sleepyalero]

gettin fiesty in here aren't we?

[xXManwhoreXx]

Shit man haters gonna hate. Hes mad he has thousands into his car and it runs high 14s. And with my hated on honda 500 bucks gets me a bullet proof motor.

[lonnie]

Color match the wheels?

[MMGT1]

I voted blue, now I "REALLY" vote blue. You make it look like that pick and you got yourself one hawt friggin lookin' Olds dude.

And shit storm? Ill give you a shit storm. My take on Honda's; "They should have loaded twice as many on the boat and only brought them half as far"

[bdyman]

chris it doesnt matter what color you go with a complete color change is going to cost you thousands of dollars to have it done right, when its done right you should see just a shell all parts come off the car, no paint lines no flaking, nothing should happen when its done right

using a candy color is going to cost you more money why??? well candy is applied like this, a black, gold, silver or white base is applied, then the candy is applied over the base then the clear, ppg or house of color is the most commonly used for candy

so using a factory colorits still going to cost the same, but if you want a blue vw has a real bright blue, so do some other import companies i just cant remeber right now

sherwin williams has a custom line that is cheaper then the rest and its base coat clear coat, trust me when i say sherwin williams came along way and i highly recomend sherwin williams products if your on a budget

for what you want, and this is me i would fix the rust but i wouldnt warranty it no shop would remove all the parts fix the body kit remount it probably 4-5k (aleromod discount)

i would have it done in a month let me know :)

[xXManwhoreXx]

Ill run 12s in my honda and still get 30 mpg's

[MMGT1]

Honda's do have their place I have to admit... In my back yard cutting my grass for one!... lol
I hope you are getting the humor in this though man, this is a GM site, going to be hard to find Honda love around here I would think. Let me guess, Skunk fan are you? I have been in the middle of this one for years now with my group of buddies. My very good friends are all over the map man. Josh the Ford Freak, Dave the Mitsu guy, Nick the Honda lover, and Rick the Chrysler man. We have been taking shots at each other for 15 years now over our rides man. I have been a Grand Am driver since 1989 and the 99 I bought last year makes #9 for me. They think Im totally insane... hahahaha
And sorry for the hijack guys.. oops...

[01OldsAleroGt]

Honda - Had One Never Drive Again. They just arent that fun in all honesty.

[[ion] C2]

i'll do that in my alero

:lol:

[xXManwhoreXx]

Though everything I have said was the truth I would much rather have a fast alero than a honda however for price nothing beats a honda for reliability or price to power.

[Philbar71]

A candy apple red would look nice. To keep it close to stock color :)

[Oldsnut]

I am partial to candy apple red myself. What about a 2 color combination?

[xXManwhoreXx]

2 tone is kind of out of "fashion" however throw some bass boat in there make it pop!

[[ion] C2]

yeah okay

[That01Olds]

Midnight Blue Metallic or Ruby Red Metallic.

[Stain]

I like that red alero picture that you have, that looks sick with the body kit

[cavaliers60]

I like the dark purple look. Looks awesome on cars. :)

[Malibu369258]

I wouldn't stray too far away from the red the car is originally... candy red would look good. It would just bother me that not every square inch of the car is the same color... unless you had the whole car dismantled.

[Gr1m]

im looking into something like this for next summer. minus the stupid design
