Panda as in paint the hood gloss black also?

[87LXiR]

I voted for the two toned burnt orange. I wouldnt paint the hood black id buy carbon-fiber then itl really be clean. OH! and some black rims...yeah that'l look good....sorry but you got me all worked up but burnt orange for sure.

[3rdgenhatchDX]

Haha!

Okay so i went to check out the new Si... drove it of course...

Anyways i saw the new tangerine color their putting on elements... and yes it will be mine

[Alexi3rdgen]

That color combination looks especially hot with the stock hubcaps. Many will disagree, but I love the stock 86-89 alloys, and the 86-87 wheelcovers.

(Two weeks till I get my 3rd gen back!!!!)

i dunno guys this orange color is getting around too fast the other day i counted atleast 10 cars that had it in my shitty ass town, a pontiac vibe, a cavalier, and like a bunch of grand ams/ other GM cars have it, i dunno...

[spnrx]

Yeah GM calls it Sunburst Orange. *shrugs* But on an SS coblat I think I could even handle pink....Ewwww! But yey Your color combo would be unique and sick. Good luck.

[3rdgenhatchDX]

here's the color i want...

[Bglad420]

ewwwww




but I'll have to judges when I see the finished product....

[3rdgenhatchDX]

...maybe i'll start with the stock color and body work, it needs some, i'll replace that fender and have the dents smoothed out.... we'll see...

[Bglad420]

Well good luck with it all!!!

[3rdgenhatchDX]

thanx! hey bglad why don't you have aim or yahoo?

[3rdgenhatchDX]

[Bglad420]

Got AIM now....

I was thinking the metallic burnt orange as well but your right it's started to become less and less unique. I am in love with Metallic colors right now and as I’ve decided to paint my own car Graphite Metallic very similar to your color :-)

[3rdgenhatchDX]

? i dunno, but the orange is def. making me wonder... why?! why?! fricken mass productions.

[aerokid1987]

stick with it man... it definitely looks nice, and there aren't any 3rd gens that are painted that color.

[3rdgenhatchDX]

Just got the element brochure in the mail, damn that paint looks good...

[Shadowkat]

well, are you going to paint your car already or are you just going to admire how good that color looks on the element? Either paint it already, or lock this thread until you're done with all the body work or what ever you're going to do first.

edit: Sorry about the bitchyness of that, I'm just really excited to see what a 3g hatch would look like in that color. I rally want to see the new look!!

[3rdgenhatchDX]

Ah and so it starts, Well i'm not gonna be able to purchase a paintjob, until i get my sunroof welded shut, being $300 and i'm sure it'll look like shit, i'm opting to keep it intact until i can caulk it shut in the spring, so sit tight.

That's cool, I know the whole paint thing takes time, and I didn't mean to sound like a bitch and flame you. I'm just really excited to see how absolutely gorgeous that burnt orange color will look. Be sure to come to one of the CLAC meets after you do get it painted. I really want to see it!

[3rdgenhatchDX]

[3rdgenhatchDX]
