Painting my FC
 
Well right now I am thinking of going with black. But I would like to go with a more uncommon color to be unique and all but I dont want it to be all bright and stand out, so there goes alot of the colors. I am kind of thinking of a blue, but not really sure yet.

Any pictures of blue FCS ? cant seem to find many.

Also thinking of something like this, but not really sure how it would look on a FC

I wouldnt mind going with a color that stands out more...but I just dont like those pesky cops ;o

Mephis 10-20-03 08:16 PM

um, a good metal flake gunmetal grey would stand out and a cop wouldnt look for ya, but again were comes the $$$

5A is a great color.
No TII came with it though. As far as i know.

Husemoller 10-20-03 08:18 PM

Well all I have to do is buy the paint. I got a guy who is going to school for autobody, and is going to fix all the dents and rust spots and such on the car, and the paint it for me.

dang, i love that dark gray color.... that's the color i want to paint my car when i get the $$ saved up to take care of the body work....

Husemoller 10-20-03 08:53 PM

what color is 5A?

TakumiJr 10-20-03 09:07 PM

Yeah i wanna paint my 7 too just can't decide on a color. I'm thinking Kany Blue, IBM or RX-8 blue. Cuz i got a kid that work at a bodyshop that will give me a good price on paint as long as i give him a Paint Code. I think any blue look nice on FC. Not too many FC i see with really nice blue paint job. There some guy on this forum with a BRAVE BLUE TII in NJ, very nicee car and paint.

I would pick blue. Blue looks great on a FC i think.

I like the first link color. The blueish gray. It look sweet on the fd, but not sure if it would look as good on an fc.:)

DAN CARWIN 10-21-03 01:57 PM

yeah its pretty badass. Thats what im thinking right now. It looks awesome on the FDs but will it on a FC =/

I think I am going to go with some sort of blue, will have to look into that a bit more.

Asherwood: Nice rims

I have to repaint my car, as a patch has flaked off where something got on the black factory paint.
How much does a paint job typically run? For fancy paint. I was thinking of iridescent paint, or something like color shifting paint like this:

Well I am thinking of going with a darker blue as of right now, maybe, maybe that first link i posted. But we will see, I am going to go look at some colors soon here and see whats up. I would kind of like my own unique tone to it though. I remember reading somewhere about people putting a layer of a different color to give it a tint of that??? Is it a colored clear coat or what??

hypntyz7 10-25-03 11:15 AM

some sort of electric metallic blue, or a nice metallic silver. Gray doesnt suit me on an FC, but hey, it's your car. Guess Im just used to seeing those damned tornado silver 86-88 base models all run down and beat up and shit, which got me to disliking the color.
