New color for the G

So for a while now I have made up my mind that I am going to change the color of my car, once I get all of my parts (bumper, grill, skirts, rear lip, hood and fenders) I had been dead set on blue, but I have always been a fan of yellow as well. In fact back in the day of my 92 celica, my plans were to paint it yellow before it got stolen.

basically, Im still leaning towards blue, but I saw a yellow/black truck today and it reminded my why I like it. so i don't know how easy or hard this would be to do, but if its not too bad, could anyone photoshop my car in both blue and yellow? I want to still keep the black accent that I have now. Thanks in advance.

The colors Im thinking about:

nnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo leave it white looks good as is but then again its urs

Please no yellow!!!

I am sure that it has been brought up before but does painting it involve replacement of those tail lights? I think that there is a small number of cars that are able to pull off a yellow paint job, galant I dont see as one of them. So my vote goes to blue.

Why leave the white? But unless you like the Steelers, blue is probably the way to go.

Blue FTW!

You do realize that in order to have a good color change, you have to paint everything, right?? Engine out and engine bay painted. All interior and all harnesses out, in other words just bare body and then painted. That will run you around 7K to do at a cheap shop. Unless you do it all yourself. Or you can cut corners and just paint what you can see but that's not the route I would take.

Best I could do.

yeah I realize that, and my plan is to paint it myself. i'm going to go the route Galante went. The engine bay will probably be the last I do, but yes I do plan on taking apart the car and doing it ALL. By the time I'm ready to slap on all the parts and re-paint, the G will no longer be my DD, and at that point its going to be a project car.

thanks seth, I do like the yellow, but I think the blue will still be better. appreciate it!

Black and yellow is the way I would go. The blue on the G eww.

that yellow is sick. go for it! the black yellow (Even with the altezzas) is nice!

I stand corrected about the G not being able to pull it off. I think it looks good in yellow.

yellow belongs on cabs and school busses imho... lol

^^ indeed. go with dark blue and lotsss of clear coat! bling bling!

nah the yellow looks good righ there.

I think the yellow is a mistake. Besides looking like a giant bumblebee, it's going to draw a lot of unnecessary attention to you mostly from ricers and cops. I also think you'll get tired of the yellow in a very short amount of time. However, Sarge, it's your car, so you should go with what you like best.

If you end up going to the blue, i would make it darker. Almost like a midnight blue.

well I've got lots of time to think about it, so guess we will see when the day comes! :) thanks for all the input guys!

lmao @ giant bumblebee!!

The blue posted above is nearly a dead match to EVO "Blue By You" so looks for some pics of that to get an idea

Darker blue's like midnight blue come on newer corvette's and Pedro (Kalamidad) has painted his car a dark blue as well. I entertained yellow for a while, but my better judgement told me not to. As Chip stated above, you will be a cop MAGNET.

I never intended to change my 8g's color but I remember doing some color change in photoshop to see how my g would look like. I did that yeeeeeeeears ago.

Let me find them....

Oh here they are:

I call this Audi yellow:

It's your car dude, good luck with the color change if ever you decide to. :)

either of those colors would require a well executed kit.

agreed... next weekend I'll be picking up my dolphin bumper and liberal grill from cali in san diego. And next month I should be picking up a moster hood. Then I just gotta buy my VR4 sideskirts. The only part I'm not sure still is what I want to do with the end. I actually like the rear MrJ has and Im thinking that would look good with the diffuser idea I wanted to do. But I'm not going to paint until I have all the parts and ready to do it right.

yeah, i would go with a dark blue so the black accents are not an eye sore like the black accents on the yellow.
I wouldn't do yellow at all!


I changed the color of my car and yellow was considered. But look at my sig.

Yellow FTW!!1!
