Default Painting the Car!!
Well, here's the deal. Dropped the car off at the shop today and started takin it apart, due to a scratch on the bumper. Well now that it is at the shop i am contemplating a color change. Heres the color i am thinking of going, a picture just doesnt do the color justice, it is **** in the sun tho, i promise. Let me know what you guys think i should do?? also, i have NEVER seen this on an F-bod and will be very unique.



And a pic of how the car sits now...

Are you a hardtop? Would you leave the roof and hatch surrounding black or paint it to match? I think it would be cooler all one color.

I am located in michigan. If you want you could ship it to us. The shop is kind of well known, so we have done cars from all over the country, cali, texas, and a few months ago Total Performance sent us dale jarretts daytona car, 2 pace cars, lol those were FUN.
