Default Should I Camo my CRX for no Reason Other than I am Bored with the Paint it has Now?

I was bored toinght and wanted to check and see what it might look like if I camo painted my CRX. I have been thinking about this for a while but not too seriously just sorta saying I will do it when I get around to it. So I Photoshopped this. What do you think? Should I do this or not?

the tape on the headlights are teh gh3tto. the paint would look pretty good though, but imo, a nice (flat or not) green would look A++++++ with those volks

Those Volks are not on my CRX. I just chopped those on there because I am most likely getting some Rota Slips in black and those Volks were the darkest rims I had on my HD at a decent angle. They came from an RSX donor pic. Note the 5 Lug conversion.

I think Ill do it sometime this winter or Spring. I got nothing better to do.

Go for it.....and while your at it, paint your wheels bright green. It's the new JDM/H-T trend.

People need to stop doing this. If you ever choose to get a real paint job afterwards its best to take it all off.. It's creating more work for yourself in the long run! Patience is always best.

Not flaming, just trying to give my opinion.

I dont understand what you are saying. Im not just going to get spray paint and paint over the paint that I already have. Im going to take it to a shop and have them do some body work I need done that was done shitty when I first got my CRX painted last year. I have rust appearing back after the first paint job already and dont have the supplies or equipment to do the body work myself at my house. When they primer it I will go in there with some paint and paint it myself.

Also the paint is not going to be nearly as glossy as in the pic. Im going to give it a finish like a flat black paint job. I just did that finish in the pic because it is simplier to do it that way then to play with the contrast and levels.

Since when did you have to strip paint fully to paint over it? Please use sense before posting.

What does the paint look like now?

If the paint now is poopy, you got nothing to lose, so go for it. My stock paint was bad, hence why i did mine. At the time I painted mine, I was contemplating camo, but I figured it would be cheaper/cleaner to do one solid color.

I would like to see a flat army tan/brown car though.

to ghetto paint jobs
