I voted gloss but it was a toss up between that and satin, I guess it depends on what overall style you're going for. As a side note are you doing the prep and paint yourself, if yes it's worth bearing in mind that it's easier to get a good finish from gloss as you can polish inperfections out. With matt and satin you need to have perfect prep and a perfect finish straight from the gun as it's virtually impossible to rectify mistakes later.

You could always go for the Rat look then any paint with any old brush and roller will do

I voted gloss. If you're gonna pay someone to do it, then you'll want everyone to know it!!

I'll throw a spanner in the works! Why not paint it ORANGE with grey smoked glass and black minilight wheels

Just like the one you like in the picture? Now that would be sooo cool

If not go for gloss black

Keep it that same blue as your first one..but with the slots

Don't make it too perfect or you will be afraid to use it

Post by **hotrodder13** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 7:04 pm

afraid to say the slots are goin

lookin at 15 inch minilights, might get slots back eventurally and i really dnt like this blue haha, and this will certainly be a used car

Post by **hotrodder13** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 7:20 pm

17's really fill the arches and are exactly what I had in mind for mine. So do it.

Post by **hotrodder13** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 8:13 pm

u got any piks

i like the look of them on heathy12's car, only reason i want them is to fill the arches

I'd have to say keep the slots as they are being remade next year so orginal ones will be getting rarer and do a colour that no one else has. Black has been done to death unfortunately

Think of a colour that satands out but isn't too in your face. Something like the standard traf blue but with some pearl in it or with a metal flake clear coat. Just my opinion.

i wanted a colour that stands out but dnt think it would suit the car,and my problem is i dnt like many colours, ive never liked blue, dnt know why i baught a blue car haha and will keep the slots on this car

If you meant have i got any pics then no as the wheels are a long way down the list at the moment. However I did offer an 18 & 17 upto it and the 17 was just about right.
