RE-Base 7 getting new paint... But what?
So I'm only a few weeks from getting fresh paint on the newest car, a 5-lug swapped base with a 13B-Real among other things. The car will have the B-Wave front end, Sexy Style hood, TII skirts, Rotary Extreme diffuser and Mariah Mode 5 wing along with AW7 wheels. Oh yeah, maroon interior with black Bride Pros.
My dilemma is this: what options are there for paint that won't look like ass? I know black, white (not interested in either of those), charcoal, silver, and maroon/burgundy (car is. Royal Maroon now) but I'm looking for other choices. In no real order, I'm thinking dark (almost black) blue, Infini Green, or Root Beer. Any colors I'm not thinking of? |

I don't know if it's "you" but it looks great on this car |
Harold, I'm not against it... Lemme see what the painter has to say. LOL

Mazda spirited green metallic:

Nate, awesome color, indeed; however, what happens when I open the door and a maroon and black interior show up? I hit upon almost that exact color a few minutes ago in Photoshop and my girl loved it, but we're unsure on how the interior will (or won't) work out.

Quick and dirty mockups. I added my wheels to the donor FC pic. Also grabbed a pic of the Mariah wing just to get an idea of how it will look. Leaning more towards the gold at this point.
Good point, Nate. I was looking at it more from a short term standpoint instead of long-term. Grey or black interior works for me. :) |
Im against that Mariah Mode 5 wing , its just too dam wide it doesnt flow well with the car imo. Paint it separate and see if you like the car without it. I think it might look better with black post or end plates.. or even cutting up the sides to shorten them etc
I think this color will look great http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~haya/ http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/201002%2F...1_23373142.jpg |

Uploaded with ImageShack.us cherry black mica. would look good with the black and maroon. its cool for how different it looks in different lights. |
with the kitted car all those colors will look good, but with any color change you have to go all the way or it will kill the whole car once you open a door, jambs and underhood are really important.
If you think your going to track and bang this car up go for the simpler colors that are easier to touch up |
That viper green would be EPIC.

cym?

Then i would get a new painter if he cant mix it.

Here are a couple of pics of my RX-8 shifter that we painted to show my fiancee' what it would look like. When she saw the pics I posted of the 323 earlier, she hated it. After seeing this, she said it's growing on her. LOL.
(Yes, I know it's a 6-speed knob. It was practically free as a flawed item at Sevenstock a few years ago.) http://www.relephotography.com/Vehic...g2011-18-M.jpg http://www.relephotography.com/Vehic...g2011-19-M.jpg |

Here are a couple of shots just after the clear was sprayed. I can't wait to see her out in the sun! Unfortunately, I have to wait until Friday since I have a 13 hour shift tomorrow. Blah.
|
The car today just before the sun came up over the trees. Better pics tomorrow after I pick her up.
Things left to do include: Reinstall front turn signals Finish mounting headlight setup Fab covers for headlights Determine lower foglight setup CHANGE INTERIOR COLOR!! LOL http://www.relephotography.com/Vehic...00000278-L.jpg |
you took the easy way out!
TIIs are a pain in the ass to paint when you take all the little parts off, even the stupid clips for the skirts have to get painted |
btw- your last pic didnt show up when I posted- car looks great
