Paint Options

[jonridinhi]

I am getting ready to re-paint the whole MP3 to go with my next project. I figure while I have it down spruce it up a little. LOL. Here are the options I have thought of. Some I like some I do not. I am posting to see what everyone thinks. (not that I really care because I am the one driving it, LOL) Maybe you can help spark a better idea. I know the Black is not Matte in the photo but gets the idea across. My buddy hooked me up with these photoshops cause I am not that good at it. (thanks 323) I plan on doing a JDM grille painted with the same color as the center of the hood.

OPTION 1:
Hyper Silver rims with MSP titanium up the center and roof

OPTION 2:
Gunmetal rims with MSP titanium up the center and roof

OPTION 3:
Gunmetal rims with Gunmetal up the center and roof

OPTION 4:
Hyper Silver rims with Matte Black up the center and roof

OPTION 5:
Gunmetal rims with Matte Black up the center and roof

#3 looks pretty good.

What about black rims? I am okay with #3, but get that urge that it should all be black instead of gunmetal.

 

[jonridinhi]

not a personal fan of black rims at all. Or CF.

 

[323]

make it all hot pink and purple (hippy)

 

[jonridinhi]

No this is my car not yours. That is what you wanted when you go wingless right?

 

[323]

yea bright pink with white teddy bear rims

I am the type that likes colors that go together, I never really liked the dark rims, but then the blue w/ silver doesn't stand out much to me. If you did something with the yellow, then that may be something different.. since your calipers are yellow and knowing it does go together with that blue (knew someone that had an MP3 with the splash vinyls in yellow across the car).

But i like your gold rims. I would hate painting over them for you. I guess you do not have a real vote then....

The engine is all yellow right now but that will be changing soon. I like the accent yellow but tomuch is too flashy. I like the clean look.

Alright, what about #4.. then would you have any interest in depo headlights and clear sidemarkers? With the yellow, I was thinking along the lines of maybe a line of it in between the black and blue on the hood.. somehow.. to pick up the yellow in the calipers. No graphics or anything strong.

 

[jonridinhi]

Already thinking the headlights with clear smoked sides and smoked tails. I like the matching combos the most. Yellow is an idea. Might photoshop it in going up the hood just for s**** and giggles to see.

Me .....

A little man. Alot smoother ride but the handleing was not noticeably changed. I have not hit it hard yet, scared of the 18's hitting. Not alot of room for error but no rubbage yet. If it clears up tomarrow i might take it out for a nice spin.

 

[323]
