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.
