Re: So which color should i paint the Y2K's i just picked up.

Yeah im throwing 2 on there to see how they look and i'll snap some pics and post them up.

Sweet. I would love to see them. Im kinda leaning toward the Gold right now. It would for sure be different. Not somethin anyone else in your area will have

Probably anyone else i have ever seen

Yeah. I think they will prolly look hella tight. I like being different and doing things you dont see everyday. That was a huge part of my decision to turbo my 94. I have never seen a sn95 5.0 turbo'd beside mine now. plus i love turbo cars. It is som much fun to drive. And i love the sound of my american V8 and that beautiful turbo whistle

You said hella...

Lol. Yeah. Is that bad?

Haha no... but Im from So Cal and go to a college with more Nor Cal people than So Cal, so I hear that word every f-in minute. Us So Cal people dont care for the word... haha. No biggie though.

Win.. that cars coming along man. That thing is going to look sweet.

Gotcha. Im origanally from Stockton but i go to vist family every year. My cousin says hella and now she has got me stuck on it. Im like the only person who say it up here in Portland, OR. LOL

I have found a place that can supply me with a Sherwin Williams Auto - Black Cherry paint for about 20 bucks a Qt and it should take about 1 Gal to do everything. So me and my air compressor should be working hard come next year.

i personally like black two ones. It helps break up the car visually and help make it look lower to the eye.
i painted some black on my first car(95 GT) I took some blue frost pearl powder and mixed it in with the clearcoat!! I loved it. It was subtle but when the sun hit it you could see a flash of the blue frost pearl. Like a very very very mild cameleon Paint. but only when the sun hit it right. I think that is a cool little different look on mine. i would go a dark silver with blcak two tone. The pick a pearl powder you like to mix in the clear and spary the whole. IMO it really sets a car off

If I had a black car it would have gold wheels on it, no question...if you paint them any other color, you die :boxing:

Go for it. What are some of you fav colors for car? I'll Try to think of a good paint scheme/pearl to go with the colors.

For a spray gun i would recommend "Sharpe". They have good quality reasonable priced Spray guns. That is what i have and i am happy with them. You will prollly want an HVLP style spray gun. HVLP stands for High volume low pressure. They are most common and would probably work out best for you
