New Paint Job, 2 Tone. Thoughts?

So I decided to do something new after I hit a turkey. What yall think?

 

I like it but I would do the whole car!

 

With which color? It was all flat black before the turkey.

 

I like it now

 

Yeah go all grey and fix the tailights. If you wanted to keep the matte I would say leave it on the roof only

 

I think it looks pretty good. This coming from a guy with a CGM wagon with a matte black roof.

 

Thanks guys.. I just wanted to try something different. Its gonna get crazy next spring when theres no car payment:coolugh:

 

What about the tailights? Im planning on re-wrapping them this weekend.

 

Looks alot better? Damn is this the second animal you hit?

 

^ Thanks no only one. Just havent had time to put up pics. lol

 

Looks good. I think the tail light would look good blacked out

 

i think it would look better if the flat was raw CF or everything was that grey with just the roof a gloss black.

 

fix the tail lights and do matte black

 

So Im trying to figure out what yall mean by fix the tailights. i need suggestions. i dont want to do blacked out I dont need any extra reason to get pulled over. Tho it would look good.

 

I used that on my WRX when I had it. Im really looking for 05 tails. And you are sure blacked out tails are legal?

 

blacked out are illegal, tinted are not

 

Looks pretty good. 05 tails to set it off. My $.02.

 

I like that grey. Just leave the back spoiler above the window black and tint the upper part of the taillights black.

Then again, when i look at your pics, I like it how it is because it's unique. If you leave it like that, i'd paint the front lip and spoiler above black window black too.

 

flat blue or flat red.

 

I love that flat blue! I really have been thinking about doing a different color flat. This is just an interim paint job. Next summer it will be getting a "real" paint job since I'll have no car payment. Lol

 

flat colors are great if you can keep it out of the elements, otherwise it's a pain in the ass to keep clean

 

You ain't lying. I have a two car port and when it was all flat black I had to at least wipe it off everyday. I started using pledge on the flat parts and the wheels and that really helps but if it rains or you run thru a sprinkler forget it you have to wash it and do it all over. Flat paint is definitely a lot of upkeep.

 

Where and Who did your paint job?
How did it turn out?
Like factory feel/look?
Any messups? Cost?

Answer all questions, now now now!!! LuLz!!!

 

Ok when I painted it flat black it cost me a total of $600 that's minor body work included. Turned out great except one area on the bumper had some cracking from the flat paint drying so fast. I hit a turkey and ruined my front pass. fender. The shop was having a hard time matching the flat since I wanted it extra flat. So I decided to just keep the roof, hood and trunk flat and picked this grey color. So this current paint job only cost me $300. Since it was only half the car to paint. I got it painted here in Columbus, peach auto body. Yes there are some mistakes. Some overspray and in general if you look at it hard enough you can tell it's a $300 paint job. Overall am I happy with the quality of work to cost ratio, absolutely. Is this a permanent paint job absolutely not.

 

Peach is still around? What about PTAP? Still in business?

 

Yeah peach still around. They use dupont that's why I chose them. Yeah ptap is still in business. Not sure what they do beside vinyl wraps.

 

Funny that you said that. I was thinking about white or that graphite color of the evo 9.
