Well, what's wrong with the paint? Want to hear what happened to my Accord? The paint that I have (which is the stock color) is that weird 2 toned green. It's looks a grayish/purple in some angles. Well, in 00 I got rearended and I needed a new bumper and a portion of the side (towards the back on the drivers side) had to get repainted. The guy who painted it did a terrible job and didn't match the paint for shit. I started noticing that it didn't look good in certain angles in bright light and then it faded and looked like total ass. When I got my body kit on, my new and amazing auto body guy was nice enough to repaint the whole side of the car (perfectly, I might add) for no additional cost because I give him so much business between myself and people I refer to him.

That's a bonus. I had that trouble with my old CRX actually so I went a whole new color. Same rear quarter panel too. Then I had to get a new driver door because mine broke. So I found a white one in a junkyard. Just the door and window though. So I had to switch the door card, belt, mirror and handle. Got a new rear bumper cover too since mine was cracked. But my car was blue so it looked like a SmurfMobile. So I did a bunch of bondo work and primered it. Your solution sounds better. Still got a pic even though I sold it a while back.

Now, about the del Sol, there's nothing wrong with the paint itself. It's the scheme.

I wanted a del Sol Si VTEC DOHC. So I looked for a while and found almost nothing around me. Well, after a while I did find a pretty nice one in good shape and had just been completely fixed up mechanically and body wise. Only problem was, the guy had bought it for his daughter before the wife decided she didn't want the daughter driving such a small car (unsafe or something). The guy had painted it for her already though and get this, it was black to begin with, so he gets it repainted black and then puts this wierd purple coat over it. I got some pics, it's hideous though.

And that's just the start, you should see the rest. I already took the trunk off that was even wierder, gotta find the pic. And I have a VIS CF Invader hood in my den right now.

It's not that bad. You have some black in there so it's ok. If your car was pink or something, then I might have brought some jokes.

Yeah, it could definitely be way worse, and most of the time I don't mind. It's not that big a deal. Check out this trunk though.

Some more for ya:

So, what do you have on there for a trunk?

Got a black one from a junkyard with holes already drilled for the OEM wing. Got a wing off of ebay and they are on there now. Unfortunately it doesn't quite fit right, so when I get it painted I will put the original back on and have them paint it. Should be fun.

What color are you looking to do?

I dunno, I had a few choices in mind, but with the CF hood, I'm thinking it might just be easier to stay with the black. It would look the best that way I think. My rims are black too.

Yeah, but you could always paint it a "real" color and just use the 2 color as your interior color scheme as well and that's always hot.

Wait, what do you mean? What 2 color?

Re: Sounds disgusting...
 

I'll give it a try

OK so I just read the first post....and quoted that....i don't need to see 7 pages of whatever....(i still haven't read it) but how did the spagettios and applesauce to 2 color del sol.....

Um...hmmm...I'm not sure. Oh, because we started talking about all kinds of food and stuff and then the Northeast HS meet and his car and my car and so on and so forth.


SolPol...you know how someone will have a green car and then do the interior color scheme green and white or something? If you do just the black on the exterior then you could just do black and whatever on the interior. But if you have a black hood and lets say a red car, then the interior color scheme would be identical to the exterior.

Oh, I got it now, thanks. I can't have a red car, not me, but I'm still thinking. It'll probably end up black though.

Well, you know what I'm saying. I have a green car. But it's just that one color. Want to know what I had not too long ago? Mashed potato pizza.

Oh man, I LOVE mashed potatoes. And I love pizza. That sounds good as hell :yes:

I'm about to go make myself some SpaghettiOs

mashed potato and colslaw(sp?)...mmm

and banana, peanut butter, mayonaise sandwich...mmm

:yes: Hey, if i was dared to, i would eat it.
The worst thang I was ever dared to eat was either....a pencil....or this drink my friends dared me and my best friend to drink it, she didn't tho because i gagged because there was something chunky in my mouth, but all that was in it was....rum, vodka, milk, choco milk, relish, eggs, honey mustard, ketchup, ice cream, 3 types of pop, butter, whipped cream, jello, honey mustard, sugar, and a bunch more stuff, basically anything we could find in the fridge. but i downed it and then i stood there for a min and i felt something chunky and thats y i gagged, lol. everyone said my breath smelled like puke, i drank like a whole thing of mouth wash, lol

Someone dared me to eat a catipillar when I was a freshman in high school and I did.
