    Paint my car!

    The 86 c/s is red. I hate red. I hate red with a passion.
    The clear coat is failing, and there are plenty of stone chips and some surface rust that I must repair, so I figured, why go through the trouble of fixing it up in a color that Im not fond of.
    Since my fiancee was none-to-happy that I bought ANOTHER car AND had to pay to get it shipped, I gave her free rein on the color (with exceptions of pink or purple)
    We would like to see it in a SantaFe blue with silver GFX, R/T electric blue with silver GFX, and just for kicks Grabber Green with silver GFX and a black hood.

    So bust out your best photoshop skills and paint my car! (thanks skibbe for the nice angle)

    Wow, you bought Skibbe's car? Man, that was a nice car for a good price, one that I had considered purchasing...if I had a big storage building it would have been parked there

    Could someone photoshop it in a nice burnt orange color too?

    Congrats and good luck with it!

    Limeny green is a tough one to pull off. You will really have to think it through if you decide to do it.

    Re: Paint my car!

    at least make it a quality job and remove trim, do the door/hatch jambs and engine compartment too if you can. Get something better than macco or one day cause thats about as long as they last.

    I'm more about restoration than mods, I'm trying to restore my z's, not beat them up at a track. So I tend to be a stickler for keeping things original. The 86 came in flash red, gunmetal blue, radiant silver, white, and black. I'd say pick one of those colors. Black with the gold crab rims looks pretty sharp, and being black will not make all the t-top trim stand out so much.

    Re: Paint my car!

    Well, as stated, I dont like red, so thats out.
    She isnt fond of the gunmetal blue.
    Im not a fan of white, though white 1g's are nice looking.
    Black car with a black leather interior, might as well be Darth Vaders taxi...
    Silver is just to bland of a color personally..

    Im going to try my hand at it tonight as well.
