7, 12 hour days, gets you more NEEDforSPEED eye candy ;)

well after my fatal, not so bad looking rail run in,
iv decided that 2 bashed up sides on the Camaro is too much to look at,
So im calling a 7 day shot, for sanding, dent removal, primer, paint, and rims.... Witch sounds reasonable enough right?
but first i gotta get a new radiator, so im just going to throw out some paint ideas, and since im a cheap *** im just going to throw on the irocs off the red one, and with rims now in mind
depending on colors i thot about sanding and polishing them, or cleaning them up and painting them black and leaving the lip polished

so anyway, what color should i go with? i thot black or maybe keeping the same blue and adding candy
any other ideas or opinions you guys might have?

I don't think the iroc rims would look as good as gta's do with the black, polished lip look, i say just polish them. For paint, black is always a killer choice but if you play around with candy, you might find a real neat color depending on the amount you use as well as the base coat, etc. I would play around with it and see what you come up with for a unique look

Id say go with a similar blue, make the GFX all silver again. And maybe add a broad silver stripe on the hood and trunk lid.

Have fun

We took apart a 95Z fixed the front fascia where it had split, sanded it, removed a dent, painted it, wet sanded, buffed, wet sanded, polished, buffed, and put back together in 25 hours.

We started one night and painted the car at 3:00am, while working on the front piece. We went to sleep at 5:00am and started at 9:00am. We had finished the front while letting it dry the previous night and painted the front that morning. Once dry, shot it again and cleared it all day, then pieced it back together while one guy wet sanded and buffed. Three guys and 25hrs later, the car looked awesome.

So how many weeks of Photoshops are we going to see before you actually do it?

IMO black is always a good choice.

Or how about darkish gray with gold gfx's. I've seen one of those out in the country when doing j/y run. Had to turn around and take a second look. That paint job looked very sweet.

Or one one those candy navy's (or something). Car so dark it looks black except you can see blue tint when light falls on it. Forget how they do those.
