I have been considering my car in flat or maybe satin white but not quite sure if i want that or not. so was wondering if anyone has any input on this to try and sway me to doing so or not doing so.

the car

if i did do this everything including door jams and all will be painted the white. and eventually ill pull the motor and paint that as well. any input is greatly appreciated and pics always help. thanks for looking

also if this is the wrong section im sorry

scott8989 · 03-30-2011, 05:30 PM

daewoo · 03-30-2011, 05:48 PM

ill say the same thing about my car lol

scott8989 · 03-30-2011, 06:58 PM

but seriously lol

I so think you should do flat army green. And lowered with white rims!

how about a photochop to let us see what it would look like

scott8989 · 03-30-2011, 09:42 PM

if i was good at photoshop i just might do that. maybe ill try later. im not a fan of the flat army green thing. i think that should be reserved for VW's lol

I don't have an opinion either way, BUT....... IF you do plan on going with a flat or satin finish, please let someone who is experienced with a paint gun do it. I've seen way to many cars end up with "tiger stripes" and they just look horrible. You'd be amazed what a little reducer and a proper paint gun will do.

scott8989 · 03-30-2011, 10:08 PM

i was planning on getting it done right. just looking for input if it would look right

Gino z32 · 03-30-2011, 10:19 PM

to be honest with you, don't bother painting it...get it vinyl wrapped. Painting satin is VERY hard to do and for a good job will probably end up costing more than vinyl wrapping it. Plus, if you get tired of it vinyl wrap is reversible without paying for it twice (i.e. getting it repainted again). I'll do a photoshop tomorrow and see what I can come up with (haven't loaded PS on my new laptop yet and don't feel like getting out of bed to do it on my desktop).

scott8989 · 03-30-2011, 11:13 PM

i was thinking about wrapping it but then i thought about the door jams and such. that would be great if you could PS something for me

JankyS13 · 03-31-2011, 01:18 AM

lower and put some good offset rims on there first, worry about paint later.

scott8989 · 03-31-2011, 03:11 AM

well i have a set of 225/45/17 +45 Konig Imagines going on there soon. just have to get the tires mounted. only reason im asking about this is cause my friend works at a shop and said he has all the stuff left over from another job to paint my whole car for free. otherwise i would worry about other things first. im still trying to figure out what coil-overs i want and all.

scott8989 · 03-31-2011, 03:21 AM

also been thinking of a 2 tone panda look like the ae86's had like this

if someone could photo shop this stuff for me that would be amazing
