Whta would an fb look like with metallic color paint with no metal flake?
 

Im getting my car painted on friday(one day paint- i know, i am not spending a ton of money for a car i want keep for more than a couple years ago) i was wondering what a dark gray would look like with no metal flake added.(i dont like their metal flake, it looks like large bits of black and silver cinnamon on toast-yum) thanks guys, i hope i can actually start a thread now,...................p.s. does anyone know where to get a brand new faxtory shift knob....God bless

I think it would look SWEET in dark grey without flakes, but only if you make it REALLY shiney.

As for the shift knob, I gots one for sale.

dont go Dark grey! Go light grey(metallic) Trust me it looks way better

Yes, but everyone has one in light grey metallic. :(

Agree but I think a light color FB looks better! (Except a black FB) :bigthumb:

Orange pwns j0O

what the fuck is pwns? i see it all the time.. did some fat ass hit the p button instead of the o button? when he meant owns?

i think the dark grey would look good. like a dark grapite grey. especially with some black wheels....yummmm...

pics!!!

"pwns" is slang for "owns" (meaning it kicks-your-butt). Jo0 = you. It's a "fat-finger" joke-thing within the internet gamer chat communities; similar to the old "all your base belongs to us"-thing all those years ago.
Get with it, man =)

all your base belongs to us? damn i am glad im not a nerd..

Has nothing to do with being a nerd. Well, maybe a little.

It is a perfect bit of Japlish that was translated into a 1980's video game.

Here is a link to it.

The Japlish is funny.

I love the dark grey, but with metallic. Not sure that I would like it without.

I believe Mazda called the color "Tornado Silver Metallic", one of my favorite RX-7 colors

the metallic sucks by dupont nason paint(that's what all shops like one day paint use) it just doesnt look right, it looks like glitter or something. I think the dary flat color would look coll. It would be different, maybe resemble the really old scholl hot rods only mine would shiny. Try to imagine a flat white like on our rx7's and just pretend it is a really dark gray and that's the closest i can come to guessin what it would look like. I am planing on tinting the windows, getting black wheels, and i have a vented head light lid i made that will be painted so i think it would look cool, different but cool........................

Be careful with gray because there are many many variations. Gray is a combination of opposite colors, so it can be black and white, brown andwhatever else, etc. Talk to an artist about it (I'm not an expert). "Dove gray" is a nice light option and "Graphite gray" is a nice dark option, but you have to examine them first before you commit to living with it. Audi has a gray that's popular around here, but I'm still thinking about it. I think I'll get my silver 85SE painted that Maaco white.

im painting my car now and jeez i hope it looks good

boog was saying how the nelson dupont paint is bad i hope not because that is what im using... i decied on the 85' color S7 i hope it turns out good god......i have been sanding sanding sanding like crazy primed it and sanded with a 220 and tomrow im sanding the primer with 320..no lie the dam car feel like glass its crazy smooth!!i hope i paint tomrow afternoon also im looking at getting the mariah air dam and kosie rims which will make the car just be looking like a million bucks but sitting on the side of the road broken down...jk i hope,,, it does have its troubles though

your doing the right thing bro, keep at it. Did someone tell you to use 320 on the primer? I have always herad 400 is like perfect, but i dunno fo sho. give us pics bro......the nason paint isnt BAD but it's not as good as others. Its meant to be a at least good lasting and cheap alternative, the warranty on mine will be 5 years so im happy..... i just dont like the way the metal flake looks from the nason paint they are using, the pictures above look good but this stuff just doesn't look right to me...................God bless
