Default Got my ride painted... what yall think

it took me forever and a day findin the right color for my car, i search all thru h-t crsx, yahoo everywhere for a color to reapaint my ride... i finally came across this color at the body shop my painter told me to paint the ride.. at first it didnt look as good as i thought and then as soon as i got used to it..its bad ***... what yall think?

in th epics you cant really see the color, but in person wow..its purple pearl glows on the car and then it jus shows the blue very very nice out..


side note: i got a repaint becuz the car got keyed and i didnt want to keep the old color since it needed a complete repaint and i decided to do a differnt blue

taken with my 1.5 mp camera...


before..
artic blue pearl


now...purple blue metallic...

these were taken by my homie with his canon camera..

The color is definatley noticeable compared to the firs pic. I would have gone for a darker blue instead of a blue with purple pearl, but thats just me. Nice ride
