ok well as some of you know my car is in the shop finally getting fixed(all new rear quarter panel being welded on) i'm having minor parts primed up and i'm goign to be pulling small dings here and there. i will not be getting my car painted till mid summer.

but i had this great idea. I saw my neighbors ford f150 adn its maroonish with a dark grey charcoal bottom. i was thinking maybe getting my car painted the stock maroon(maybe a lil darker, w/ a pearl) witha charcoal gray bottom. how do ya think it'd look. can any one maybe photoshop a coupe maroon and charcoal. i have no sideshots of my car. sorry
tell me what ya think

oops edit
bleh burgundy sucks!
change the entire car's color hahaha...
go real 2 tone
do the prep work yourself and drop it off to get painted. otherwise just keep the burgundy all around.

I think it'd look really good. However, it'd look better with a s13 silvia front!

Seriously, though, I think it'd look really nice, especially if you'd do gunmetal rims.

it might not look too bad, but id personally rather have a stock two tone combo.

part of me thinks it will look kinda wierd cuz all the other top halfs of two tones are light colors. I would think that it would look odd, but you have seen it on a car, so you'd be a better judge.

CoasTek240 · 03-25-2003, 08:21 PM

ill prolly just paint it the stock color and throw in some black glow or somtheing.. it'll be cheaper anyways. oh well just boucning ideas off ya'll. it wont be painted towards late summer anyways.

if theres anyone out there that thinks they're up to the task to photshop a two tone into a maroon/ charcoal two tone i'd appreciate it. thanx
