Bright Orange!

undad0g · Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 9:51 am Post subject: Bright Orange!

Thinking of changing from black to orange. Damaged paint-work trying to buff the car. Idiot I am! Black looks good. Very difficult to keep clean. A lot more black cars on the road recently. Orange is my first choice. Open to other ideas tho. Definitely not interested in Pearl or Metalic finishes. White second choice. Not keen on red. Bright yellow another good option, me thinks. Will redo leather seats in a colour that suits too. Big job I know. Or should I stick with black?

what about the real deep metallicy red on like the mazda cx9's ? or the real gun metal greyish colour with a small metallic flake in it like you see on the new corollas and 200 series landcruiser's i love that colour!

going off topic slightly undadog, with a few people here surely looking at paint jobs, does anyone have an idea on price? as most people i talk to for a good job you are looking at 4k and upward Nervous

Saw a pic some time ago of a 7 series BMW painted flat/matt white with white wheels and polished/chrome lip and big offset looked so amazingly bombed

Two-tone: What about having the entire bottom half orange and the rest a very "strong" white. Proper paint-job, would cost around 6k I reckon. But then I'd have to keep it! Already have 19" two-piece wheels, (will paint the centres gloss black) sitting low on Teins. Black used to look good to me but now it's to common, and difficult to maintain, IMO.
