A pink paint job?

[SP33D]

My friends girlfriend wants to paint her celica pink.. does anyone know anything about pink paint? I've seen the pinky p5, but she doesn't want that kind of pink.. she wants like erodescent(sp?) pink.

I think more like this

and not like this

What's an estimated cost for paint and for the entire paint job?

 

[Kooldino]

my guess: $5k

the first pink looks nice, i would personally go for mint green p5, has anyone seen that p5 pick up truck mint green in color? i liked that green actually

if u went for the light pink, it wouldnt bt noticeable outside as much as the dark pink..

 

[rt66protege]

hmm.. that's an interesting color.

 

[SP33D]

yeh.. she's getting a blitz body kit and wants some kind of black decals on the side of her car after she gets the pink paintjob... and she already has pink streetglow underbody..... the car would be sick

It's iridescent.

The darker pink is definitely better. It will cost at least $2K, but for a really high quality job with good paint (like house of Kolor) you're talking $3K+. The paint alone will be $1K - $1.5K for the iridescent stuff.

please talk her out if it



You'll never sell it afterwards.

sick, as in throwing up looking at itself in a mirror?

Um, seriously. Watch the opening sequence of 2 Fast 2 Delerious. Looks the attrocity that is the S2000 in that movie. Do you really think that looks good? Does your friend? Because you would be the first two I have ever met. First, it's just plain wrong to paint any car, with the possible exception on the 58 Cadilac, pink of any shade. Second, like Newf said the resale value of the vehicle is deystroyed.

[MisterT]

Well I beg to differ... Avon and Mary Kay all have pink cars... They're an intimidating fleet when you see them rolling down the road probably.

That car would actually be nice for a chick to drive but any guy driving it would deserve to get his ass kicked.
(lol2) (lol)
