Do satin stripes or hockey stick. Would look ghosted with those 2 colors.

Curtis,

Was hoping you were a little bit too real to 'need' to paint your car in satin.

lol

It's the same color. Just a different clear. Interesting idea and I did give some thought to the idea you are getting at. It just didn't seem right. Pretty sure it will end up with Black Stripes....if I do stripes.

Need?

Nah man can't do it, thought I do like it. So...it's tempting. Totally different vibe. Maybe on the next one.

I think it would go well on a car that is more of a track or aggressive Street Fighter type of build. I am already wanting to build another one, so who knows! lol

Curtis, I'll chime in my opinion.... And you know what they say about those...... Knowing what you what you want to do with the car I would be leary. Satin on the whole car looks great and is different.... But I'm afraid it will be dated and then your stuck redoing it sometime down the road. Not a chance I would take . But then again, I tend to be more conservative. Silver gloss with satin stripe and wheel centers in black would look great IMO. At the end of the day, do what what you want though. You put it out here and you will get hundreds of opinions. Either way though, it will be a nice car!!

I'm working on it!

Right now Mercedes Alubeam Silver is at the top of my list. I need to have spray outs done.

I'm of the same opinion. I won't go the satin route on this car. Maybe the next one. Just getting to the current color has been crazy. No way I'd start that B.S. over again. Like I said...maybe the next one.

People wont even talk to me about color anymore. And if I bring it up to the wife it's kind of like

I swear if she says she doesn't like, I'll be single.

Hi Guy's. It's a tricky decision for sure, not only are there an almost infinite number of choices available, paint and panel are probably the single most expensive item on most builds, if you don't get it right the first time round you're either stuck with it or it's going to cost a bundle to change it, then you will be single. lol. Cheers Trevor.
