  1. #1

    Default Paint Job -

    Normally, a discussion on paint jobs would go in Tech & Chat... but I'm still deciding whether this is goofy or not...



    I'm liking it...

    My vote is on goofy... You should've set up a poll...

    Why camo a car? That should be reserved for vehicles with off-road capabilities.

    Why the hell not? It certainly wouldn't detract from the resale value.

    Rattle can black is sooooo last year. :P

    Better yet, why not something like this:

    I think you should team up with Sammm to get some of that radar absorbing US Military paint for the BUR...

    Try to get rid of sharp edges and make it invisible to radar.

    At least it is Urban camo. No need for 4x4 in the city

    I like it only because I've never seen one like it before! Then again, if you live as long as me, novelty becomes more precious.

    My vote's still for flat black even though I can see I'm outvoted.

    Seriously, it's something that you can do yourself and have come out not half bad. Most of those other jobs are going to require some (or a lot) of $$$.

    And rattle-can camo ( ) would be on the bottom of my list.

    What better reason do you need to paint your car camo? I'm with altiain on this one... why the heck not? It will certainly be... distinctive!

    Maybe you should get together with MadMerv and see if he'd be willing to trade some body panels so you could do a Team Cheap Bastard Signature Harlequin Edition Miata?
