Whats up all...

To start this off right, I got into a minor accident last year and to make a long story short I had sent my car off to get repaired/painted. The entire car wasn't re-painted because the damage was only done to the driver rear quarter pannel.

Anyways... The car is nowhere near how I want it to look because they f***** up alot of things. 1) I can see the line where they tryed to blend it 2) They forgot to re-paint certain piece's, like the door handle and that piece on the trunk ontop of the licence plate. 3) Its starting to chip on the driver rear door jam and the trunk. BTW thats after the company charged my insurance 6k for everything.

neways I thinking of getting the entire car re-painted.

I seen one Sedan Protege with an MSP package on it minus the wing and I thought it looked amazing.

What would you do? any suggestions on the paint colour any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

btw if you notice on the third pic, I have changed my stock lip for another. I was planning on molding it to the front bumper. (thumb)

I have heard things about the Mazda yellow and that is it very hard to match. Not saying that is an excuse for a bad paint job, but just something to note.

If I was in the same situation, I would have complained to the insurance company about the shoddy paint work, and had the insurance company take it up with the body shop. But, it might be too late for that.

If I got into an accident right now, here's what I would do. Get a P5, 03 MSP, or MP3 front bumper (all the same) and vented CF hood match painted to the car. For paint I would go with either titanium, winning/electric blue, or a deep pearl blue for the entire car. I would keep the stock wing or switch to the MP3 wing.

Actually now that you bring it up, red would definitely be a good choice of color.

 

[SubXer0]

i agree

I'm confused, is your MSP white or yellow? Personally a white MSP is plain sick, IMO

yeah, i've always wondered if anybody did a full MSP conversion in white?

 

[MSP #167]

paint it red!!! that would be ******* sick. You would have the most unique msp out there.

 

[69RMSP]

wow you guys are killing me.... I always liked the mp3 spolier more and if I were to put another wing on it, it would defanitly be that one.

Red would defanitly be unique but I don't know how it would look. I might have to get a buddy to photoshop it. (I always like the Toyota Supra red)

Another thing is I could 2 tone it but have the hood and trunk cf. or I might Paint it Supra red and cf hood and trunk.

I can tell you one thing im defanitly going to mold that front lip into the car.
btw my car is the yellow one ^^. The white one is from this fourm I don't remembers whois (sick) but its dead seski.


Thanks all the great input guys keep it comin! lolz


(edit) btw YellowSpeedInNY you speed looks fkn sickass

One guy had a candy apple red metallic paint job here. It was for sale a while back.
It was a good paint job, but I wasn't a fan of it on the car.

[Zhan]

Am I the only one who likes it white?

 

[SubXer0]

^^ i love it in white

 

[1moreMPH]

a red/black combo is pure sex. paint red w/carbon hood and trunk wit some sweet ass black rims. mmmm....hell, get a carbon splitter for the bottom of the front lip and put 2 fat white racing stripes down the center. haha (jerkit)

 

[Silverlupus]

Get the colour code for the 03 Protege Garnet red, that colour is gorgeous

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

i think the white is awesome.. but i would go with some kinda special white..like cadillac white or something..the car would look awesome.

 

[MSP #167]

if you dont go with red, get it painted the 350z/g35 pearl white that color is so nice
