100116, paint? white?
Posted by barza21, Nov-20-07 09:50 AM
hey dudes whats up!

ok,so timeis quickly aproaching, im gonna paint my car probably by the middle of december, because by then i will have the money! but i am debating on something, i really dont want to keep the stock white, i want to look better! so i was thinking about changing to a silverish white, but then i saw a video, the car color is white with escalated pearl!! it sounds nice and looked nice, but does anybody have a steady picture of that color?

or do you guys think i should change the car to a completely different color? if so, then im thinking about black, is my only choice, but the reason why i dont want black is because when i get the CF hood then it is barely gonna be noticeable!

so what do you guys think i should do? if you could help me out with the pic of the color that would be awesome!

Sure you dont mean "Escalade Pearl"? I had a friend respray his white eclipse with that and it looked really good. If you change the color completly, then you have to deal with the door/hatch jams and the engine bay. It's all up to you how much work you want to put into it.

PS - I can notice carbon fiber on a black car in the shadows at night :D

its your car you pick the color a clean white car looks very nice but so does a black one and a red one. get something you can live with for a few years.

staying close to stock will save you money by not painting the engine bay and door sills
