Guys, I'm torn!!!!

I own an 89 GTA... And I'm painting it a different color. It is now black, and I'm torn between two colors! My choice are

Chrysler Platinum (which I found out is FlyinLow89GTA's color)
Pepper Gray Metallic (color of "Eleanor", the shelby GT500 in Gone in Sixty Seconds

What do you all think??????

 

I've always liked red.

 

Go with elaenor man ....that color is sweet!

 

Pepper grey metallic.....thats my color!!!!!





The pics don't do it justice. I have the paint fleet code for pepper grey metallic if you want it.

 

go with the color of flyinlows' car. that car is awsome

 

Just remember changing the color usually costs more. I'd say go with the platinum.

 

oh man No4NJunK, you got me drooling!! I can't wait till I paint mine this summer!

 

Ditto on the Platinum.

 

No4, u just need some GTA rims. That would look cool.

 

Definitely, and a GTA spoiler!!

 

Thanks for the compliments!!! Do you think I should go with GTA style crosslace rims or Weld Draglites??

 

Definetly GTA's. Maybe a TA or later Formula spoiler would be better also, but that 1 is cool.

 

I agree with IROCTWENTY on the spoiler issue, or maybe a 4th Gen one.

 

So right now the votes are half for Eleanor's color and half for Platinum.... HELP!!!!!!!!!!

 

red and grey cars are to common go with something different , i am sure if you thought about it you can come up with a color no one else has on their maro, birds or whatever................. like the color of the drinl sex on the beach , tequla sunrise(speel check i know i can not spell for ****) just something that says this is my car and no one else can even compare ....................

 

I'm just not for painting a car to look like a Ford, but its your car...

 

man you guys are really hardcore huh? In now way will this car look like a ford, the paint isn't even ford! It just happens to be a color of a mustang IN A MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Right on!!:rockon:


>Well my second choice would be Pepper Gray Metallic .

 

how bout New York Yankee blue, my favorite team whom is losins right now

 

I'm a fan of the platnium, but the pepper grey metallic is a very nice color as well.

 

i thought eleanor was a darker shade of gray than that of no4njunk's car

 

Glad someone here has an eye for detail. 91, the damn camera just will not pic up the true color for some reason. In the daylight the color appears a little lighter but not as light as the photos depict. In the evening the true goldish green metallic flake shows and looks incredible. I have taken so many pics trying to capture it but have been very unsuccessful.

Here's an outside pic of eleanor to compare it to....



Heres what my car looks like in the evening or early morning...

 

I'D SAY GO WITH 86FYRBRD'S PAINT COLOR. ITS THE METALIC ORANGE THATS ON THE NEW T/A'S

 

I know I have told you this before, but I am probably going to paint my 83 Trans Am Pepper Grey Metallic this summer and was wondering what process (how many base + clear, etc..) you used to paint yours?(No4NJunk)

 

83ta,
I did all the prep work myself. I started by body filling all the dents cracks seams etc (I mix my own body filler). I got the body as perfect as I could. As I've stated before I only primer the areas that have been worked on or areas that have no paint because paint sticks better to paint. After preping everything I had 2 coats of base laid down, cooked, then 2 coats of clear (If I remember correctly). When the car got back I wetsanded and polished. Wala....glass! Its not a showroom job but I like it and I don't worry when driving on the street (rocks, debris). Where or who is painting the car?? I'm glad to hear you like the color! Good luck on the job.

I like Silver. 89transam photoshopped my car a few days ago.
I think it looks awesome,

 

why dont u go with that elctron blue or how ever its called. or even like the viper or corvette blue. just a thought.

That color looks like primer. No4N's is pretty cool.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing for my car. I'll be doing the body work and prep work with my brother and a guy with a private shop will probably paint it, then I'll wetsand and buff it myself. I still have to get some 85-90 tail lights and I'll probably get GTA wheels next year (unless someone wants to donote money to the 'fix dave's car up REAL nice' cause).

Here is an edited pic of my car now (shaved the door handles to see what it would look like )
apparently the color is Medium Grey Metallic, but I think it looks like a light grey or silver, can anyone verify this??
