    Red face -----Revised------ Accord paint job

    I know this post screwed up on me several times, the sight was experiencing problems when i was trying to make this post last night and it was bringing me to an error page which resulted in a million plank posts. I appologise for the trouble but heres the scoop.

    As some of you may know my accord was a peice of crap sitting im my yard. It is currently under reconstruction and after i repair the minor rust and trim i will be needing a new paint job so i need some suggestions, none will be non considered no matter how strage. I dont care if you suggest lime green or electric orange haha.

    me and my friends have talked about it alot and i think im gonna let 3geez decide for me!

    some of the ones we have come up with are:
    flat black
    dusty grey
    pale blueish grey
    [this one is cool] army tank green with satin black under the trim to the bottom of the car, they also suggested having a black hood and trunk for effects but im not shure.

    the car is a 89 coup LX, 5-speed if you want a rough immage.

    Thanks for the help!

    Im leaning more towards the army green, no offence to haters because my car isnt in perfect condition and i think the black will make it look rougher than it is, keep in mind i almost built the ass end from the trunk to the rear wheels myself.

    I think you should invite over all your buddies. Get everyone real loaded, bring out a box of spray paint and point them in the direction of your car. That would be awesome!

    Its funny coz it would look better than the black dusty paint with the red bodyfill from the rear wheels to the trunk and the blue door lmao.

    and we have done this with my old civic i built out of junk yard parts, we sawed off the roof and built a 5 foot wide wooden wing and spray painted trailor park, and Anarchy symbols all over it and random graffiti, and after we got flagged down by a cop we took it rock jumping in the sand pit, then lit it on fire and took the plates and registration off so it couldnt be traced and there it still sits haha. Im glad, this car was a death trap it haulled you to one side of the road because the idiot before me wrapped it around a tree, and it maybe had 90 HP during its prime when i owned it, it would hve killed me if i didnt kill it.

    Re: -----Revised------ Accord paint job

    LOL. When I lived in Berkeley, every so often you'd see an old Subaru wagon or VW bus drive by with peace symbols and flowers painted all over it and GI Joe figures, silk roses, Barbie dolls or whatever pasted all over the outside of the car and you'd know that someone had been doing way, way, way, WAAAAAY too much LSD. LOL.

    I'm sooooo glad I don't live there anymore...
