Painting car. what do you think of this color?
i got a free galon of this metalic green paint. so i figured i might as well try to paint my car that color.
paint job below was just a crappy fast paintjob to see what the color was going to come out as. it will be alittle different after primed and painted for correctly.
so what do you guys think?

Clear coat will darken it up a little bit, but i think it would still need to be darker than that to look good on an FC. You could get a little bit of black/dark green toner added to your paint if you know the brand/product line.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
no it won't. Depending on the clear coat you use it could give it a brownish/golden/ or oven yellow tinge, I think adding either one of those colors too it woulf make it look like puke. But, If you use something like a U-POL clear the color won't change @ all because its CLEAR
Do you have any body shop/painting experience? What are you basing this mis-information on?

The easiest way to make that particular color darker would be to remove some of the metallics, but we cant do that to a mixed color now can we?? The only way to make it darker is to add some of the darker base pigments that would be in that color, and those would most likley be green black and blue.

sweet. that is exactly what i was thinking, that it needs to be darker. my friend is really good with mixing paint and stuff, so i will just have him do his thing and make it darker.

and i am going to do what i want to do, but im asking so maby someone relizes' something i didnt think of.
Green makes FCs look older, unless you got some body kit on it, and I'd paint the side moldings the same color as the body, I didn't see any pics but at least they are off the fender when painting them.
( i dont think ive seen a FC with them off, can someone find me some pics of a FC with no moldings??)
