Just looks plain red to me...

 

niiice!! ive been contemplating a paint job cause my OB is baaad. how much did this run?

 

It's shinier with more light, or in person, but yes, it is straight red. No orange (Chevy), yellow, white, or pink (Audi) is mixed in. I wasn't trying to do a crazy paint job that would be expensive to repair, or attract too much attention. Obviously I'll be getting a fair amount more though now.


My OB was really bad too. After seeing how easily swirls showed and how easily it got dirty (2-3 days max around here), I was ready to change out of black. Although I did really like the look of the car in black.

This was actually mostly through insurance. I don't know if it would have been cheaper if it was a private party job, but it was fairly expensive with insurance. I got two estimates, and both were right around the same amount.

 

paint looks good.
red is a color that is hard to pull off though. to me (my opinion) the car needs to be ***** to the walls moded to pull the color off. but if you plan to keep it the way it is then thats cool to cuz thats how you want it

 

Hard? what is so hard about modding the color red?

 

Looks clean, no side moldings FTW! Are you going to paint your mirror bases? Why did you leave the license plate bracket on your front bumper? What does your trunk look like, debadged?

 

I'm stoked on te no side moldings. I think not having them on a red car looks good. iI is a little awkward looking for some colors IMO. I also had the spoiler removed and the holes shaved. The mirror bases are painted the same gloss black as the grill and the roof. If I would have know about the paper clamp clip on method, I would have had the plate holes shaved, but I found out about it too late. I need to keep my front plate on. As it is, the bracket was painted red.

 

Looks pimp!! Gonna get some wheels?

 

Wheels will come at the same time as suspension. How has no-one mentioned the 4 x 4 status yet???

However, track wheels and tires will come before that, so full time wheels will be a ways off.

 

You're gonna take your custom painted G on the track?

 

Nice. Paint your headlights

 

Haha right!? I'm only taking it autocrossing. Taking it to a big track is too much of a risk for crashing.

Thanks. I'm considering painting them.

 

U should since your grill is painted. The 2 go hand and hand

 

looks nice.. came out clean... I'm trying to decide on a nice red as well... doing a custom paint job on mine as well real soon something that will go well with carbon fiber.

 

custom paint job on a stock body?
