Default New custom paint job

The last time I posted on here was back in June when I got my 98' Ws6. Since then I had some custom paint done and thought I would share.

It's a custom pink, with black etching done to keep it from being a solid pink on the hood. I had it done at Chaotic Customs off of 242/Conroe area. Had the front license plate bird done as well as the back Transam logo as it was faded pretty bad. I love every bit of it, I only wanted a little bit of pink on it, don't plan on doing anything else pink wise, the interior is charcoal with leather seats. At some point i'd like to re-do the inside to all black, but who knows.

Next project is upgrading the exhaust system.

Had to check if you were a girl, and you are, so I am withholding judgement . Good job on keeping it tasteful. There's a girl down the street with an Accord that has way too many pink accents and looks freaking horrible.

Looks good. Definitely gives the mean WS6 a woman's touch.

Not bad looking at all, cannot say my wife likes that color on a TA, she is not into colors like that on a sports car.

Thanks everyone! Yes I didn't want to go overboard with it, I'm sure some people shake their heads at my decision but it's my car and its what I love Plus if I ever need it re painted it's not too hard to get it black again.

That's the key to be happy with the end product, being it's some thing YOU wanted, not any one else. You're right, everything you did would be easily changed over by the next owner should you decide to part ways with the car.

I think it looks great. Not overdone at all- as others have said, very clean.
