supertrick chopped this for me... it is sposed to be olive drab with blacked out lights and such.... it's an idea i came up wiht for my paint this summer...

JustANeon · Post by **JustANeon** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 6:46 pm

definitely a new idea, I dont know how it will actually look on the car though

Tint the windows, and get some SRT wheels painted flat black and it would be pimp.

No good. If you can afford it, jet black. WIll look steath, with your carbon fiber, and gloss black rims with a pollished lip...

oh wait, thats what I want to do to mine

To each his own, I think it'd look like poo. Just not my favorite color, I guess.

Theres a post on neons.org with a first gen in flat olive color that he spray painted and has flat black wheels, you should check it out.

Yeah man . . . I dont like it to much . . . If youve got the money for a paint job - I like the idea of BLACK . . or a BLUE color or something . . . Blue with black wheels i think would look cool

is there a candy apple blue color ? that would look tight : )

Are you have it professionaly done ?

If you are - you should have them paint some interior peices for ya . . . Ive seen cars that have had shops do there interiors . . . very nice and clean looking . . . .

i think you should just primer the car black

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Sun Feb 19, 2006 9:55 am

I like how that first gen looks...and since youre talking about going with a darker shade of green...I think it would look cool...I have to say I love a car w/ a very glossy finish, but I like the way flat paint jobs look too, I just couldnt ever rock one I dont think.

I like it though

but does it really matter what we think? lol do what makes you happy w/ it

looks like poo

Geeze man, are you joining the military or something???

If I were going to paint green, I would use Electric green metallic. Used on a few Fords, IIRC it came on the SVT cobra a few years as well. Great colour, only colour green I really like.

IMO I wouldn't change the colour at all. PITA or very expensive to do it and look professional. Painting all the jambs, engine bay, etc so it looks original is a lot of work. If you don't do that it looks like a hack job.

Nothing wrong with the military at all, at least yours anyways. Tonnes wrong with our Canadian one...

Thought maybe he had joined and got a little too excited. Although, I'm sure he would have had it done by 6am or earlier

You can candy just about any color but it gets pricey.
