Lustalbert Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 The Brick is going to be getting some body work this winter, so while I am at it, a fresh coat of paint is in the works. The wife does not like the white, and im not to partial to it either. I am throwing around the idea of black, dark green, perhaps even the chamelion green (Anthony's firebird) on it. I don't want it to look like a donk however. Anyone have any ideas what would look good on it? I am planing to retain the blue interior. Also, the curent top is shot. I am considering a new one, but if it looks good without it, I dont mind not paying for a new top. Photochop wizzards, feel free to paint bucket it all you want. Thanks.

Rally Pat Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 IDK if you have seen the Ford LTD or whatever it is in Men In Black I, but it had one of the slickest glossy black paint jobs I had ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 No, do not do my color. I don't think it'll work well with the size and shape of your car. However, I do think a darker color (shifting or not), will work. Have you looked into the GM color Navy Blue Metallic used on 4th gens? Striking blue in the sunlight, dark blue on darker days, black at night. Badass color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 black with a black top its a motherfucker to repaint a car a whole other color you've got to strip it all the way down and repaint everything the factory did to make it look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I am unemloyed for a whole month, striping it should not be a problem. I am planing to take the doors off for new bushings ect anyways. I also have the OEM body manual so I can take it apart properly. Solid black is a litte much, I want a little color to it. Besides, someone might mistake it for a really slow GN if I do all black.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 the blue I was talking about Can you find out what paint code that is? Make model year as well? Helpfull for ordering the paint. It is certinally in the running. Electron blue is floating around as well, but I am afraid it will be to bright on a large car.
