Everyone's paintjob.
Hey guys.
Well the AAS body kit will be ordered soon and then it is off to get it painted.
The problem is, I cant decide what color I want lol. If somebody could post some simple ideas and maybe some pics, I would be greatly appreciated.

LOL.. my car was that color stock. well if u want to change the color.. it would cost u alot. Just paint the body kit to same color and it'd be alot cheaper. Like 600-1000 bucks. Than 2g to 3g's for a color change.

someone keys my car or damages it purposely, they're dead. or their car or something they love is set on fire, regardless of gender.
also, i would never go to maaco, they are ahoes.
lol the $300 economy paint job, where nothing is prepped, and however the car is brought in is how they spray it, windows, wheels, headlights, everything gets painted. poorly, too.

here my suggestion to you claim the key scratches to your insurance,
second, dont forget the kit has to be fitted preped, painted, buffed, here where i work the last one we did the total was at 1,500
a complete well your looking at at prices starting at 3,000 allot of of prep work allot of r&i work, to much to list
you want quality you will pay for it bottom line

The keying happened over a year ago, I filled a police report and she never got busted (our police department is the worst ever). So insurance will not cover it a year later anyway
As far as fitting, I am doing all that myself. Here the cost of living is VERY low (minimum wage = $5.25) and quality paint jobs are around $1k, so it's no big deal.
As far as 2 toning, I was thinking about it, but I am not sure which two colors. I was thinking black and something
Thanks for all the feedback

Adam for some reason, that looks horrible lol maybe it is the rims.
I got to get the whole car painted anyway due to key marks. I'm just not a fan of the beige color at all.
I really wanna go with something bright and different. Like a lime green or an orange.

Ok everyone, got the estimate today for a 2 tone paint job and removing the dent out of my rear quarter panel. It is $750
Going a solid color would be a little less on the price.
Now as far as colors, I was thinking a 2 tone flat orange and black or a Pepsi blue. I really want something that stands out. Does anyone have any more suggestions?
Oh, also I am getting new exhaust. I want something that would have a nice purr to it. Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
