FC Paint ideas
#31
Thanks guys... keep em coming!! Posting pics helps!! And nope, not sure I like the idea of a bright-*** pink car sitting in my driveway, but orange looks really neat. My favorite is something with metal flake. *drool* I like stuff that I can stare at for HOURS. hehe
By the way, how the hell do I post pictures on here? I am going to post what mine looks like now.

i had orange for a while, it got old
and i definitely couldn't stare at it for hours.
of course, mine had some ricer crap painted in as well. which just added to it getting old quicker.
sorry, no pics

All FC factory colours suck. I hate them. They're plain, flat and just totally boring.
The colour on my car is actually based on a Ford colour. It is a metallic red used on the 2000 Mustang. E6 is the code, I think. We sprayed a gold base, then the Ford colour, then candy-red clear. The only problem is that you can't take pictures of it, because it's too deep. And touch ups are a royal pain in the ***.

I know I already posted here once but what about that pumpkin metal flake you see on some of the newer Eclipses? I can't quite imagine it on an FC but it's looked good on any other car I've seen it on. Maybe someone could photoshop that?

Yeah I agree with Minushuman. My first car was an 87 base in grey and I loved the way it looked. It wasn't bright enough to get a look from every cop that you went past but car enthusist would still stare. Now every damn cop I pass in my 10AE looks at me and it shows in the amount of times I have been pulled over. Damn laws. What are they all about.

Whatever you do, stay away from flat grey colors! I just put my car back together after getting everything primered and today I drove it in traffic. I was almost run over twice today! Once by a bus (that would have been ugly) and again at night by an Accord. I guess small pavement colored cars are a safety hazard.
Edit: The Accord acknowledged my presense after I blew his doors off
