Everyone's paintjob.

[Fi-Alero]

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.

Pic to show rims (and soon to be tint):

[ares89]

i kinda like that color.. heh keep it, just color match the kit

[AftermathAlero]

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.

[paulyb]

go to macco and pay 300 lol......

[Fi-Alero]

$900 for a complete paint job here :D.
It needs to be repainted anyway lol (my ex keyed it all down the sides)

[paulyb]

lol....300 if you want the scuff and shoot....hahahahahaha

[[ion] C2]

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 assholes.

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.

[bdyman]

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

[jayson_waltz]

lol just get the kit ready and fitted, then turn in the keying to your ex's insurance, free body kit painted!

[YALEROYNOT]

two tone it

... do you have a bigger picture of that? my car already fits half the bill for that paint job.. heh..

[YALEROYNOT]

... do you have a bigger picture of that? my car already fits half the bill for that paint job.. heh..


I got it from search and the site it came from that is the only pic that will not show up here is the site it is listed in the sold cars section

http://www.tjsamericanhotrods.com/soldcars.htm

[Fi-Alero]

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 :)

[420olds]

mine is a similar if not the same colorhttp://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee86/420olds/020.jpgjust get it color matched.

[03alerospl]

^^ I like that
I agree just match it, looks classy and unique

[adam337]

same paint as you with ASS kit
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2975397

[Fi-Alero]

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.

[adam337]

k. i also think the link i sent is horrible. but lime green would be even worse. theres pics here somewhere.

[Fi-Alero]

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 :D

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?

[alerored04]

blue and black would be ok. Dont do orange. Flowmaster 40 series is my fav muffler.

[YALEROYNOT]

couple two tones I like I would have brought the black all the way down the side tho. I like the dark on top makes the car look lower and sleeker. I don't know about orange on an alero should be light orange not flow orange heres some ideas

I just ordered pacesetter cat back kit and a magnaflow downpope and high flow cat. go to youtube and search ALERO EXHAUST for sound clips

[paulyb]

I was thinking a lambo orange with the top black and black rims would look nice with the AAS kit...

or maybe orange and white 2 tone...................

I wanted to do a 67 linc in flat black orange pinstriping and a creamsicle interor white with orange piping. white and orange could look good

[bdyman]

wow, 750 for a complete, and to fix dents,, does that include removing everything, labor dont forget you will get a 750 body and paint job

[Fi-Alero]

Blue and black would be good also. Lol wow this is a hard decision that I can't seem to make on my own lol.
I also like the thought of charcoal gray.

http://www.slotcargarage.com/scgarticles/1106/68side2.jpg
I like the look of this too^^^

[Fi-Alero]

This includes everything. I've seen this guy's work, it is great. I am also getting a deal because I know the guy personally, i dated his current gf lol. He just enjoys doing it.

[Vinalero]

I like the two tone on Joels car

[paulyb]

thats trucks stupidly big

[adam337]

i cant believe no ones posted this yet.. if you do a two tone. split it like joel. not this guy. heres the two tone blue and black

[paulyb]

I think the blue and black two tone style is the way to go as far as placement.

[CBLOHM3400]

here an orange one

[paulyb]

bad ass, even that wing looks decent.

[CBLOHM3400]

orange alero looks good from that angle but get inside and and under the hood make you go wtf!!!

[Fi-Alero]

Here is the type of two tone I am looking at. This is a very rough photoshop since the lasso tool doesn't want to work more than 15 seconds on vista.

that would be my choice

I found this color that I want to do my car in and maybe with a silver two tone

http://i5.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/d8/9f/db2d_1.JPG

[alerored04]

the last blue and silver looks great.

[YALEROYNOT]

if he paints his car bmw blue and silver I guess I will be looking for another color :rolleyes2:

orange and silver

[Fi-Alero]

Orange and silver looks decent :P

So far I have it narrowed down to:
Black and blue
Black and green
Silver and blue

Any of them would look good :D
I'm guessing most of you like blue and silver more than the rest?

[YALEROYNOT]

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/6553/okus2.jpg
orange and silver

I'm not feelin the orange

try black on top/orange stripe/ and silver bottom

do like that two tone better on to the front bumper tho looks more finished

[Fi-Alero]

For the silver and blue, should I go lighter on the blue? Or darker?

Good body work is not cheap.....and you will need at least some "massaging" to your kit to make it fit right. Keep it your factory color. I cannot believe you'll get good results (re-painting the whole car two-tone) for $750.

The whole car has to be repainted anyway because of the scratches. Beige with a body kit is one of the ugliest things I can think of lol. As I have said, I know this guy personally and I have seen his work. It will be legit. I'm helping his assistant with a system for his car, so they are hooking me up with paint and a little bodywork for a very good price :D

YALEROYNOT, I love that blue and silver also. I can't decide if i want it split like that or split like I have it in those pics lol. Silver and blue go well together. I might photoshop what it would look like on an alero, if someone doesnt do it first :p

[ares89]

mmmhmm.. i can picture my burgundy on top instead of that blue.. would look pretty good.. after i get my kit, definately doin that paintjob :P

[YALEROYNOT]

i have to stop givin all my ideas away :lol:

[YALEROYNOT]

heres a orange top black bottom I found

that looks good, just dont know what colorbI would dobto seperate it.....

[YALEROYNOT]

that looks good, just dont know what colorbI would dobto seperate it.....

I would do silver in the middle may be thin up front to wide in the back (3" or so ) ending in diaganle lines

there I go again givin ideas :rolleyes2:

http://i28.tinypic.com/bewz9u.jpg
There is a comparison.

This is super sexy.

[Fi-Alero]

This is super sexy.

I agree. I just dont know if I would use a separate color to to separate the blue and silver.

The guy that is doing my car said something about using a "dual stage" or something like that to separate the colors. I can't remember the exact word he used/

[clutch1]

Run a black or white pinstrip between em.

[YALEROYNOT]

http://i25.tinypic.com/24vi3rq.jpg

this paint with this splitin them. but solid up front and to hashes in the rear would be bad ass to have that with osv kit and do "OSV" at rear like it saids "cuda'"

http://www.cartype.com/images/page/aar-cuda_hood1.jpg

DAMN IT MORE IDEAS I GIVE AWAY :lol:

[Fi-Alero]

YALEROYNOT's ideas FTW! lol
I photoshopped a white pinstripe and then a black pinstripe, both look really good. Going to be hard to choose one.

[clutch1]

Do both, black on bottom (silver side), white on top (blue side).

[YALEROYNOT]

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/5/web/2393000-2393999/2393169_59_full.jpg

found this one with the lighter color on top not bad lookin

[YALEROYNOT]

stripe idea

thats the stripe I want but I want it to end in the back with hashes like the cuda' stripe. would be hot to do that with OSV where the cuda' is and the osv kit
