what color to paint the cutlass

[1979mc]

im gonna roll on the color. the cars i posted in the first post were all roll on and i think they turned out great. and you cant beat the price $50 for the whole paint job.

here is a link to a 200 page thread about this:

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: roll on? :lol: :lol: well g/l and all i can say is don't go gloss black or any other dark color for that matter.

im building this cutlass to handle everything i throw at it and there will be a lot of gravel driving and i just dont want to worry about the paint.

i know its not the usual way to paint a car. But common man you cant tell me those cars dont look good for a $50 paint job:

and here is a close up on a trunk someone did:

plus the cars on the first page. im not saying this will ever go for a show car but i think it looks pretty damn good for a weekend cruiser.

also check out this camaro for the same paintjob:

its hard to say by looking at pics. i have seen alot of cars that look great online or in pics. but look really awful in person. they look good except for the mazda. it has quite a bit of orange peel in it. but if your on a budget, go for it. you can always repaint later on if you don't like it. i would still say go with a lighter/ brighter color though. 😀

the mazda owner just rolled the paint one 1 coat with out thinning it. its supposed to be thinned and be around 8- 10 coats.

its really hard for me to decide on a color thou. its always the hardest part in any project car ive ever built. what color do you think it will look good in?

If I had to pick from the list on the first page I would probably go with the Pistachio, sand, glacier blue or the light grey. But really you could make any of those colors look good. Just depends on what you are doing with the rest of the car. But the way I look at it, its your car. do what you want and what makes you happy. Forget what the hell we think unless one of us is gonna pay for it 😀 Your the one who has to look at it everyday so make sure your satisfied with it 8)

well if it wasnt for the fact that black requires alot to clean i would go with gloss black with flat black stripes,trim and rims but again it will be a b*tch to clean. and will show any imperfections in the paint
