Need Help Choosing A Color...

MasterDon · March 24, 2009

Its not practical in SL, I know, but a little lowered ride with this colour would be awesome.

LOL...i gotta confess,i was a lil bit selfish when i suggested that colour...as i was seriously thinking about painting one of mine metalic orange,and i wanted to see what it looked like if done....

yup pretty decent colour me thinks,shows off a cars curves very nicely,and not too ginger beer as well ...

The paint started peeling and bubbling as soon as I got it home. I take a new color, basecoat (the painter didn't bother with one) and a new painter would fix things.

yep...it seems like the your painter is the problem...as an amateur painter myself machan i gotta say it's not an easy job painting a car right.....i've been doin it for awhile now and i'm still rubbish... :lol:

find a decent painter who understands colour combo's and stuff,and has a decent paintgun and a compressor(yes they do matter)...a paint booth is not enirely neccessary imo,but do not spray if raining or if rain is expected later.....good luck!

Apologies on the poor quality. Moving car, thru the glass, etc, etc.

No idea. Hurried snapshot while travelling at Dehiwela Junc. Luckily I was a passenger and had the camera out to take this.

I need help picking a color.
I've tried red and black, but the finish isn't good so I'm thinking of painting it again. I'm thinking of going back to red, but I'm open to suggestions.

go for the original paint mate.

If you're thinking of resale, would it not be best to go back to the original colour(i.e. as shown in the reg book)?

IMO i don’t think it’s necessary to go for the original colour as the car is quite old. don’t go for anything too loud either they only work for exotics. you should get hold of a new painter as suggested though

On topic: be different is my advice forget the resale and do what you want. Its your money and your car after all , why not go for that pearlescent effect ?

if you want to recover your initial investment i’ll start thinking otherwise. but then again unless you do something really crazy with the paintjob i doubt the value will depreciate.
