hey I want to pain my red 1998 black, but i want it to be perfect, i dont want red to show, not when you pop the hood, not when you open the door, none of that crap. any suggestions?

 

Paint the engine bay and door jams?

 

thats gonna cost ya a few benjamins.

 

having done this a few times. first thing you will need to be ready for is completely stripping the car! every panel , even the roof. ,hatch ,hood fenders. complete interior, harness' suspension ,motor, exhaust . it will be a shell when you are finished. hey its either do it the right way or the cheap way and regret it later!

 

dont do it lol
go buy a black car...thats a lot of damn work or money



or you can just use a rattle can

 

I would find another badass red color to go with.

 

ditto, If I had to paint my whole car, it would certainly not be a color it could have come from the factory as.

50th anniversary C5 maroon, or 350Z metallic red, would be my choices.

Go a custom color if your going to spend all the time and effort to paint every piece of it. As someone else said try out a metallic color, such as the monteray metallic used on f-bodies, or the 50th annv. red, or even sunset orange metallic.

 

there is a slammen mazda red called "velocity red" its a a 3 stage color with the first coat being somewhat of a lipstick red, and then next a nice deep red pearl, and final coat being the clear... i just painted some stripes on my hood with it and i gotta tell you inthe sunlight u just wanna lick it it looks so good... just an idea...

 

any idea how much id be looking at? any samples of that corvette or the 350?

I have never seent eh metallic red 350z so cant help there

 

that 50th anniversary red looks like a marroon its like an old man color.... super ugly imo belongs on a buick.... Sunset is sexy tho....

 

Whats that GTO color? Spice red metalic?


If you have a red car, then go with a custom red color, same goes for other colors.


Black is awsome since black engine bays look nice etc...

 

There was a similar color to the dark red metallic on these cars from the factory, not sure what yes. I think they look great! My cars white and I really want a different color, but it aint happening, too much work and not enough time!

 

it would be easier AND cheaper

 

I believe it was either monterray maroon metallic or maple red metallic that came on f-bodies. Very nice color too.
