Thinking of new paint

[mko]

I have two colors in my mind right now.

1. Evo Yellow
2. Semi Gloss or Flat Black

Im really leaning toward the semi gloss black, but i still want to hear some opinions

If you want a flat black car we could just trade lol would save you some time hahahaha jk flat black is a good choice yellow is a cop magnet

[kolio]

get glossy black!

[bmore303]

Gloss Black. For some reason I don't see flat black fitting on a 7G.

[Rayth]

how bout primer so everyone thinks your car is perpetually being upgraded

I didnt post gloss black, so ill think youve said semi gloss

[kolio]

add gloss black. that would be pure sex!

[bmore303]

Semi gloss it is, To be honest I'd just keep it red.

[Da_Gal]

I would go wit GLOSSY, cause flat black is only RESPECTED on muscle and exotic car. ppl will think those cars were done that way on purpose. Their gonna think our cheaps car are just primered and u cant afford to paint it. No one is gonna believe ur car was paint flat black and ur gonna get tired ppl or show judges askin or u having to explain wat it is. And if u go Semi-Gloss ppl or show judges are gonna think u got the maaco special or ur paint is fading. Go glossy, or leave it red. Oh yea as far as the yellow HELLLLL NAWWW

[littlerick]

i agree with the others, glossy

[Boosted]

Semi-gloss for sure. Yellow is not a good color for the G.

[goldenthumb51]

Imo flat black only looks good on exotic cars. I'd say go for a gloss black

[Galanttuner10]

i have gloss black and it is by far the best color ive seen on a 7g

[8g831]

definetely go for the gloss black..would look great on the car

[BODOGG]

semi gloss, imo the yellow hell no !!!

[kolio]

i have gloss black and it is by far the best color ive seen on a 7g

i beg to differ

[JoeRad]

Go flat black it is uber sexy, who gives a shit if some ppl think its unpainted, its gonna look nasty! good Nasty! ... stay away from yellow only a lotus can pull off yellow

[goldenthumb51]

i beg to differ

graphite grey is the best :D

[seth98esT]

If you go semi-gloss black, it better not be a rattle can job. Do it correctly have it sprayed with a non-gloss clear otherwise it will look like any other flat black rattle canned HOnda.

[mko]

^^ yo man, the red paint wasnt can sprayed. It was done outside and there were some side effects - not so much the dust, but the cold weather at night. It burned it and it didnt come out as glossy as it was supposed to be. i just bought 4hp compressor and I still can do the body panels, but for the chassis i need a garage. Anyone wanna lend me garage for day or two? :)

[hk20000]

flat black. Just cuz.

And don't even spray it, WRAP it flat black.

LMAO AT THOSE PEDALS!!!

honestly... that must be the most annoying clutch in the world! lol..

[seth98esT]

Why would those pedals be annoying?

[es_fact]

considering the regular set up of the pedal, i don't see how it could be comfortable to have a clutch ped that touches your heel, let alone your whole foot... plus it's not like it goes all the way like regulars, these Porsche clutch ped go in maybe 2 to 3 inches and then your good to shift..

I'm just saying, personally they don't seem too great for a performance clutch

I completely agree with you..................................
















........syke

[Blue Ice]

flat black looks nice, i mean reeeealll noice... if done professionally, BUT...

it is a Bitch...
and i mean a raggin,' skanky, three dollar hoar beggin you "Please let me suck your d!@# so i can score some crack!",... of a bitch to keep clean. And any nicks, dings or scratches will be amplified by the lack of reflection from the gloss.

If the car is a daily driver i say don't go flat black. I know cause my boy has his Evo done that way and he's ALWAYS cleaning it.

[skrap]

My car is a spray can flat black job. It looks ok but blue ice is right you have to clean it like every 3 days. Exspecially around here man. Its a pain in the ass and in my opinion not worth it. I would go with the semi gloss. Me personally im going with high gloss when i get all of my body work finally finished. YAY for stupid idiots that Dont know how to bondo!!!!!!!!

[kondypl]

i would say glossy black , your red is not that bad but if you want to change it , go with glossy black

[therev]

Def the yellow bro! lol ahw that ones losing....

[mko]

something more familiar. I really like the way it looks.

[4g63lover]

definitely go semi-gloss and make sure it has a protective clear on it. My buddies ITR is flat black and the paint chips are so obvious.

get some black wheels too. and tint the motherfucker. lol

[mko]

unfortunately, I havent seen a semi gloss clear coat. Maybe there is, but i really havent looked into it. I just wet sanded the red paint and it looks like shit. I have to get the high built primer and find a place to spray.

I got something that no one has seen yet, and cops around here are dicks about tint. It took me a good amount of time to remove the one that was on the car when I bought it and dont feel like doing it again

damn that sucks man. Would be awesome if it was all murdered out.

[Fishboy55]

Chris, I think the semi-gloss black would look tight on your 7G, mainly because no one else has it. That's why I got the basalt black when I painted my car...the unique factor goes a long way to satisfaction.

Stay away from that yellow. Too much attention and not a good color.

[hk20000]

If you are really interested in getting a good paint job you are better off sending the whole car out to a shop with a proper paint booth..... With all the equipment and paint curing controls you can't possibly do yourself, you'll not regret it.

Are you confident that you can do this if you painted it yourself?
http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu109/hk20000/IMAGE_106.jpg
I wouldn't touch the paint on my car unless I can confidently say YES. That's a 7G VR4 trunk by the way. Catch it at COTM when I have some proper pics (not going to be soon hahaha)

[seth98esT]

Flat black is too gray ..... and flat. Matte black is where its at:

[homeryap]

from the choices that you gave i'd go with semi gloss black. flat black is a dirt magnet.
what about Redpearl from DuPont? Go straight and you can't go wrong.

[ZigenScarface]

i kno its not on the list of options but why not give it some consideration.. champion white or , uhm not sure the paint name but that bmw artic white

[lo_boost]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But i for one like the simi gloss, matt black or what ever is close. I like the stealth look. B2 bomber style.

[rossralliart]

graphite gray period .looks agresive

[peanotation]

i don't like flat-colored cars cause it just looks like primer or a spraycan job, i don't know if it's me, but i can't tell the difference :-/

[mko]

Despite the colors on the poll, Ive made up my mind and already picked up the paint. Its $62 a quart and I love it
