Cool What Color(s) To Paint? =\

Ok well I'm gonna paint my car sometime soon when I get time. Still have to a do a lil body work but gonna get some opinions. Ok right now it's red with black door handles and mirrors. Also hood and front bumper but thats not original. So this is what I was thinking.

1. All red including handles and mirrors.
2. Red w/ black handles, mirrors, salad shooters.
3. Red w/ black handles, mirrors, roof, salad shooters.
4. Hugger Orange w/ black mirrors, handles, salad shooters.
5. Some kind of chameleon paint (orange,red,purple).
6. Other (Specify in thread.)

That's what i'm thinking. I'm stuck on what to do. This will be my first paint job but I believe it will turn out great cause I will take my time and do it right.

Car when I first got it. Rear quarter panel color has always been slightly different can't really notice unless you look.







Pic in my sig is prolly like a year old I think.

Car a couple weeks ago. Now got a white mirror on there. LoLz

Well if it's your first paint job DFEEINATELLY don't do chameleon, your gonna need some major experiance to make it look remotely good and if you screw up it will be an expencive mistake. Be better off sticking with solid colors for right now. In my opinion I would do "Option 3" but leave the sald shooters the way they are.
