Painting her :D

Ill be painting my alero a bright blue here in the next month or so depends on how long it takes us to construct the paintbooth I just wanted to see what yall think of it if yall would think it would look good or not im thinking of doing white racing strips but im not completly sure yet ill be getting the 5 spoke rims for her and powdercoating my calipers and brackets blue possibly or something else thatll fit with it im not sure on what tone of blue i am going to be using. The rims depending on if I like them polished or not will probally end up getting powdercoated in a smoke chrome like my rangers rims, any thoughts?

Before doing anything serious, photoshop it! Makes things much easier to prototype so you don't spend money on something you find out doesn't really look the way you imagined.

incorrect answer!! mettalics are the worst you see everyting if the mettalic is laid out wrong do ya not think your gonna see a tiger stripe?? or mottling?? eff yes you will. pearls, candy`s, the worse colors to do if ya dont know what your doing inexperience can ruin paint work

to the original poster.........if you have zero experience in paint and body, no words i type out will help i have to be there in the flesh to help you but i can type this, be patient, take your time, and preping is the key poor preping you will have problems to the high heavens!!!

if you have questions i can try to help the best i can but it wont do any good since im not there helping you but i can try
