Im in the process of transferring all my race shit and engine into a nice strait newer car. This car will only be driven about 4 days out of the month and at drag race events and testing of course. the roof, hood, and hatch will be defaulted to being painted black(of course a carbon hood will come after everything is said and done) Ive narrowed it to 2 serous color choices, I want to be sure on what i want because im painting the full cage and inside and outside all the same color at one time.

white is a mean color especially with the tease of black. Im looking at different angles since my car wont be driven but just a few times a month and to meets and such, laguna blue is the more flashy color id go with for the whole racing thing, usually drag cars are flashy, near the point of ricey. I dont want any metallic shit. its a hard decision.

Audi Charcoal Gray.That's the Dolomite Gray Pearl, it and the Aviator grey (near primer looking with a clearcoat color) both look pretty hot with the right wheels...ie gold lenso VPD for a honda drag car :)

I like both. But it would probably be better if you created your on color instead of copying. Either one will look hot, but with the blue, you'll stand out like a sore thumb.

man i hate making these decisions, i really like the old graphite gray pearl that i had. I dont want a color im going to get tired of, because i want this paint job to be my best ever and i dont want to have to go back and change it cause of getting tired of it haha. Im not going to mix a custom color, recreation is key and im not keeping up with a formula to a custom color incase something happens to a panel or something.

wow, suzuka blue, good input, but there a civic in alabama with that paint job, id feel like i was REALLY copying. hrmm. actually i think it was a feature on this website :eye:

http://www.importatlanta.com/features/2006/Ryan_Civic/index.php#

but i could make that shit hawt if i got hooked on it but i want a red seat, i dont think a red seat will fit the exterior color. Im narrowed down to graphite gray pearl and championship white i think. Ill just get tired of laguna blue.

wtf? no, i know that is some kind of yellow though.yep, tri-stage pearl from Lamborghini...sprayed it on a car one time, well..accidently, well...it was of my own cars...fucking PPG had the paint chips backwards in their book and it was supposed to be a tri-coat silver...lol. First mix was bright green....eh, this look like it'll make silver? second mix was bright yellow, hrmm...you sure it'll make silver? 3rd mix was a yellowish silver pearl.... *shakes head* it didn't make silver, sprayed it on anyways, still didn't make silver...30 minutes later, no silver at all...the next day...nope, didn't magically turn to silver :-( it was pretty, a pretty bright ass yellow...said fuckit and sold the car :tongue:
