What color do I paint my car?

[Johnny]

It will never be black, too hard to keep nice.
Sliver....love the silver on my wagon, Avenger, and the LeBaron coupe we had.
Easy to keep looking clean. Just not loving the looks on the Consulier.
Maybe if it did have the black high lights or stripes it would be good.
I did like the large CONSULIER words on the side of one I saw.

I know part of the fun of our cars is the planning and daydreaming of what to do next.

I think that once you have the car home with you and you spend a little time working on it, the car will tell you what color it wants to be.

I agree.

It was suggested I paint it the color of the wheels with some black trim or stripes. Then I saw the blueish one of Mikes.
I am leaning to that idea.

Bad photo shop but not wanting to put time into these...here is a touch of the idea.

Best so far by a mile. Also perhaps not coincidentally, closest so far to Mike's blue color (yup just checked.. NOT coincidental..). I think a green/blue mix color would work great on there. What about the green/grey color they put on mid-90s impala SS?

Just playing around.

These cars look awesome in white. This is a winner! Put a blue circle on the hood and call it a day.

Yo Vigo. If you can get Johnny to stop for lunch. Take him to the PIG STAND and let everybody drool, Jer

With those wheels I do like that.

Matte black all the way. Go for the Mad Max/ prototype look.

Here's my Caliber SRT4 in matte black.

Med Charcoal Grey where the white is, black where the blue is

Or you could always go Viper blue and white................

[Johnny]

My mini van is black like that. Too hard to keep clean around here. The van will be some kind of silver someday.
The GTP will not be black.
PS Your Caliber looks great.

I like the white/blue because it keep a lot of the originality of the car. Mebbe do a darker blue halfway down the lightblue. So its white/lightblue/darkblue. Mebbe even a lighter blue above for three shades.

I always liked that Toyota red/orange/yellow on their white race cars. I thought it would look cool like those.

Thx fellas. Don't want to hijack the thread, and the CSRT4 is back in pieces to get "finished." I'll put up a thread when it's a complete car again.

[Rrider]

I love flat black on cars and bikes. It does looks good, but now days its as common as some of the non matte colors. On any given day I see several. Some old, some new models.

[Johnny]

Most people here are telling me .....RED!

Like this some!

Just testing.....

[Rrider]

Heres that celica fade with red.. I think blue might look better.

These look great when the side is split up by a pattern. Who's car is that with the red sides??

[Johnny]

The real car is just one I found on-line.

Looks kind of hot. Good Idea.

Was also told this looks good....

[Johnny]

Petty sure I have decided to go the same white the car is.
That would be a lot cheaper than painting all the under hood, trunk and door jamb areas.
THEN use a wrap or vinyl to do color on the sides.
-----
Did think of a "saying" for the rear of the car until I do paint it....
"Where is Barbie?...dont care, I got the car!"

[turismolover22]

Do it up like the lucky strike cars, they all look bad ---
