Yes it is. You will be violating the CVC code 1143c, painting you vehicle a non-stock color. I have recieved many tickets with my chameleon pant job. Please take my advise and just paint it stock.

Exactamundo DINO. Just ask SERIES7 about what happened when the authorities found out about him painting his red FD to yellow.


This picture was taken at the California Paint Code office.

Nobody cares what color your car is. It's not illegal to paint it a different color.

LOL!!! Why does everyone think it's okay to paint your car a different color? Rynberg and I have already had this conversation. You cannot paint your car a different color and try to pass it off as something it isn't. It's immoral.
