| The new paint color should be...[ 25 votes ] |
| 1. |
Teal (original) |
 5 / 20% |
| 2. |
Black |
12 / 48% |
| 3. |
White |
3 / 12% |
| 4. |
Yellow |
5 / 20% |
I have a 91 Camaro RS, sadly it is not as nice as the one in this picture... Mine is currently 3 different colors as I just replaced the passenger side door and fender, and got a hood off of a late 80's Z28.
The original color is teal, as many of the Camaros from this year are/were (see pic for reference).
Now I am ready to take it to a body shop and get a few lil things taken care of, and of course a new paint job.
So I have made a poll here to see what you peeps think would look good on this type of car.
A lot of people say I should keep the original teal color, which would save me about $250 on the paint job because the door jambs... but I kinda want it to be a lil different from the 100 other teal ones I have seen around here.
I kinda like the idea of blacking it all out with windows and rims, but I have heard black will show the most of anything like dings or whatever.
White might not be too bad, besides showing a lot of dirt.
Yellow has always been my favorite color for some reason, but IDK if it would look right on this car.
Also I am open to any other suggestions as long as it is not something like pink.

Liquedv2, yew need to branch out a little on your thinking. I'm sure you'll twig it soon enough, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
The map is budding with new ideas and great game-play, AitcraftKiller just has to get to the root of the problem, it seems to have him pretty stumped right now.
Leaf him alone, he's doing a good job. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say this map isn't fir you.
Anyway, this thread is really starting to lumber along, all this over some sap's map? I thought the game was dead, but this thread at least is poplar. It makes me pine for the days of yonder.
At the end of the day, life's a Beech.. Who wood of thought it?

i belive its not illegal considering its encounted as custom lighting, like neon lights used under the cars.
Go on KnightRiderLight.com you can get it $9.99 totally legal

Just checked this out. That would look fucking awesome on my car, but I have had this thing for almost 6 years... and it has only been running for a total of 1 year throughout that period. So I don't have the patience to keep messing with it myself. It needed a paint job when I got it (a bra would have covered it).
Then when I had it running one time my boss backed into me (hence the need for door and fender on passenger side). I had just got it running and started working for the guy so I didn't have insurance... I ended up just giving him my last paycheck to pay for his damage and took mine with a grain of salt to avoid the hassle.

Thing is, a good paintjob costs a lot of money. If you're thinking Maaco, then think again, because chimps paint their poo on a wall better than a typical Maaco employee.
That's why I suggested the vinyl thing. So, you'll lose a couple weeks; but then it's a job you've done yourself. Unless it's a really good paint shop, expect subpar materials, and workmanship. If you do decide to go the paint route, do ALL the taping yourself, because the employees don't give a shit about your car, and not care if they spray parts that shouldn't be painted.
