Default Want to paint my car camo. Questions....

I am probably going to be getting a 95 GSR with mismatched body parts. I was thinking about painting it camo. The colors are black and white. The car is black, but the hood, hatch, fenders, and bumper are white. I was wondering how I would go about doing this. I just want it to look somewhat decent. Thanks...

don't paint it camo.......... if the car came black then paint it that color

it will look much cleaner and it might not cost you that much just for those panels since black is a little easier to match then other colors are........

dude quit being an ***.........
i was simply stating if you do paint it that your most probably gonna use spray paint which doesn't add much protection from the weather.......

use car paint if your gonna do it .......

if you'r gonna go camo, i'd start with a 1 tone base color, instead of black and white. match all the new and exisiting panels with a flat black coat first, then you'r ready to be all you can be

LOL

This is my old hatch. Camo only lasted for about 2 months. Then some fool in my neighborhood did the same thing to his EF. So I went back to flat black.

But if you are going to do it. Flat black the whole car then laydown the other colors
