I went to a PPG store to price some paint for me, and it came to just under 500 for the primer, base, and clear to paint the whole car. But I'd get a little extra because I need to also paint the inside of a hood, door, fender and 2 bumpers...

I didn't see any flex agent in that list. You'll need it to paint the bumper skins.

i'm really liking that two tone idea. that's badass. red/black. silver/tornado silver. white/blue? i dunno, but it's a good idea. forrest green with black on the bottom.

mine is tornado silver right now. i ALWAYS drive with my lights on, cuz i know how invisible i am. also, i have the silver vinyl on mine, the stripes under my molding between the wheel wells that has "rx7" in it. i didn't realy like it, but it's really grown on me.

Wow pink really looks cute, but I would love to see a pretty purple... or burgundy-purple. WOW. ...maybe a lime green? I'm obviously kidding, but it might actually look sweet.

Ooooh that's pretty!

What do y'all think of Chalkboard paint (until I get $$ to give her a REAL paint job?) I think it would be bad-***... especially when I go to car meets... everyone could sign her. hehe

i like the pink. notice i did that on the first page to one of hiGGi's shop cars. its weird how i hate most all ricer stuff, yet i don't mind, and in fact like, the pink rx7. hey, at least i'm honest and not joining a bandwagon.
