Paint options... Hey everyone,
I go to Pennsylvania College of Technology (PCT) for school and they have a great automotive program. Anyways, I can get my car painted at the body shop for practically nothing, $20 a hour for paint and a flat $7 for the shop fee. Now, it isn't $20 a hour for labor, it is for mixing and finding the paint they said, so I am paying for the cost of the paint. Anyways, I am at the point where I am thinking of ideas of what I want, here are is what I am thinking.
Option 1
Fresh coat of Bright Purple Metallic paint and get a WS6 hood.
Option 2
Gresh coat of Bright Purple Metallic paint and get a WS6 hood. Gloss Black CETA style bumper and hood stripes.
Option 3
Sunset Orange Metallic with WS6 hood and Gloss Black CETA style bumper and hood stripes.
Option 4
Hugger Orange with WS6 hood and Gloss Black CETA style bumper and hood stripes.
I think I will keep the Bright Purple Metallic though, since it is a rare color. Any comments, suggestions, or ideas are welcomed!
I am going to need a front license plate cover for a 1998-2002 Trans Am, so if you have one, post up with a price as well.

I'd leave it Purple. They only used that color for one year, and obviously they're not common.
I know a guy who has 1 of the 10 WS6 Bright Purple Metallic T/A's that were assembled in '98.

Yeah, I decided to go with the Bright Purple Metallic again before I even started the post, but I love the oranges! Anyways, here is the picture of the stripes I want to do.
And I'm glad you think that the Gloss Black would look good too. I was thinking of doing Sebring Silver Metallic instead, but Gloss Black will look good. What do you think of the stripe or you think I should do different ones?

I think those stripes look awsome, but I am biased becuase I have Blackbird stripes on my car. The silver would look good too. But I think black would be better. It would be a nice subtle detail.

are you going to get them to paint the bird on the front and the other letters and stuff on the car?

Hrm...been thinking again, would the Sebring Silver Metallic look better for the stripes and CETA bumper over Gloss Black? I am thinking Gloss Black won't be very noticable, but not sure if Sebring Silver Metallic would be too much. Comments please.

I think the silver might be too bright for the rear bumper. I was thinking the same thing for my car and I'm not sure if the silver would work. You could ask PendragonZ to photoshop it for you in the multimedia section. That should give you a better idea.
