Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

the IROC is up for paint in a few weeks....I'm hung up and can't decide on red or yellow....currently the car is white with red interior....how ever i do have mint tan interior...Help me make up my mind ladys and gents...my driveway is nothing but black or white cars (my monte is white and staying that way) so i've been thinking of changing it up a bit.

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

You should either go with a deep dark navy blue, or a deep dark maroon red..lol....But I would go red....Although yellow is pretty cool as well, and you don't see it as often. Sorry for the not helping part. =]

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

I'm kinda partial to the Flame Red.

This one has the grey interior but yours would look cool with the Flame Red & Gold stripes with the tan interior.

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

Paint it yellow! Canary yellow is good or any late model yellow gm uses like on the vettes. Either color you paint it, make the headlight buckets black.

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

4get that, go with a canary over "mustardy yellow" that kinda shade looks cheap. Look 4 a lustrious shade of yellow.You can look through color chips at r local auto paint store. If you u go red, go with the current one there using on the chevy trucks. Its bright and has depth.

good luck

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

I looked online between the dodge ram srt yellow and the vette yellow, and in my opinion i like the vetter yellow just case i think it looks more vivid. And with black headlight bckets, tint and maybe black rimz it wold look awesome.

Ultimately its ur choice to make- What do u like? there both good.


good luck

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

all u wanna do is take the shine of the paint away dont go sanding to the primer or even worse the actuall bumper.. i would use a red scuff pad and a can of high gloss black and a can of clear.. go threw make sure its all "not shiney" and tape it off and pay close attention to this step it will make a big difference if u mess up here. dont forget about over spray cover everything u dont want black. i would put 3 or 4 coats of black on there and 2 or 3 coats of clear on. good luck dont forget to post pics up of the process i wanna see how it comes out

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

It's 20% tint with 5% on the back. And ya our plan is to lower it after I finish my swap and get her a new daily driver. She wants an LSX too haha.

Those wheels will look outstanding on your car.

Re: Post up pics of YELLOW or RED

Thanks Bro! I'm going to get mine painted Flame Red Metallic but keep the grey bottom. I don't like the colour red it is now. Here is a pic of a car Flame Red Metallic. But I'm keeping my spoiler flat black also keeping flat black strips on my Ram Air Hood. Cheers....
