erik litchy Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 maybe theres a school or somthing that teaches autobody that can do it. they usually do it for just the cost of materails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81wagoon Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 what would be a good color? im in a toss up between blue and white and black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 white is nice or brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 white is best. black shows all imperfections, blue is transparent and will take a lot of paint to cover. get the $14.95 automotive spray gun from harbor freight. i use them all the time.

nkx Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 white looks good when its really clean, like < 24hrs after a wash. after that, its dirty as hell. i had a white cavalier, and the buggy is white too.... i am not buying anymore white cars!

81wagoon Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 yeah i was thinking about white and then like the bottom half or like bottom 1/4 of the car go black. and then like the hood black or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karinvail Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I saw that car at the grocery store in woolley Monday or Tuesday! Thought to myself, ''that car could be cammo'd pretty easily'' LOL. But seriously - you could probably just get tan rattle-can made to match the rest of the car so it was at least one color...... Tan is a great ''hide-the-dirt-don't-have-to-wash-as-often'' color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
