WHAT COLOR IS THIS?

tannerc91gt · Apr 20, 2009

ok i want to get my car repainted this summer and ive got all the body pieces ready just need to pick out a color and come up with some cash.

does anyone know the name and color code for this color? id love to have a metallic version of this color and i have no idea if its a factory color or a custom color?
and would anyone know if maaco would be capable of that kind of a paint job? yes i know "theyre cheap" but id do all the body work and im on a budget

i copy/pasted thr url

the color is dsg

tannerc91gt · Apr 20, 2009

thats my bad if the picture didnt show up but is the code "dsg" and does anyone know the name? sorry im just clueless when it comes to bodywork and paint

tannerc91gt · Apr 20, 2009

unless that "dsg" is dark shadow gray?

and then i think its the DSG from 03-04 cobras?

does anyone think that would look good on a 91GT

The color code for DSG is "RC." If you are ordering paint that is all you need to give them and you will end up with Dark Shadow Grey.

Maaco painted my... i mean a buddy of mine's coupe in dsg. It's parked in my driveway often...

seriously tho, they did pretty good on mine.. i had to go back twice to have them re-shoot and re-clear a couple pieces tho... no biggie.

tannerc91gt · Apr 21, 2009

How much did it cost you? If you don't mind saying. And was it metallic? I've been looking at that color on the cobras and I think it woulf look good on a fox

ID89GT · Apr 21, 2009

I want to midnight blue that comes on the Toyota Tacomas, I think that would be sweet

DocG · Apr 21, 2009

DSG is a badass color and would look good on any car!

Mustang5L5 · Apr 21, 2009

That could be mineral gray and not dark shadow gray. Reason i say that is the photo is washed out a little and the colors are not reflecting their true color in it

tannerc91gt · Apr 21, 2009

Yea well I'm debating between dsg or like a real deep red either way I need to find someone capable of painting that doesn't cost a fortune. Maaco would be my best bet but I've heard a lot of bad things

DocG · Apr 21, 2009

95% of your paint job is your prep work.

You doing all prep or gonna have them do it?

You bring Maaco a nice clean and smooth car. It'll look just fine. But then again, its not gonna last as long as a 10 coat several thousand dollar job either.

With paint, you get what you pay for.

Adams91LX · Apr 21, 2009

I paid 4500 and had some body work done.. I'll post pics in a bit.. It's very metallic.

tannerc91gt · Apr 21, 2009

Yea I'm not lookin to spend more than 1k on paint idk if that's realistic or not. I plan to do most of if not all of the prep work with a few friends. It just needs a few rust spots worked over and I'm not much for body work, I've also heard that maaco doesn't sand or prep they just paint whatever you bring?

Most Maacos are full service body shops and will do whatever you want done. I had a 71 Lemans once and they did my original paint job and then fixed and repainted it after some lady creamed me right in the side. It looked fine when they got done with it but I lost interest at that point and traded it for an old Chevy Pickup.

QUICK91LX · Apr 21, 2009

Maaco jobs can suck, their cheap ones essentialy mean they quickly sand/degrease the car, mask off windows, handles and trim and shoot it.

If you want a real, nice job done they can do that too, it will just cost more. Probably no less than any other "regular" body shop.

1k is not really a realistic number for a paint job that you actually want to look good, especially a color change. A friend did mine last summer and never touched the jambs or under the hood and it was still close to $2500 for everything and that was reasonably cheap

flyby84 · Apr 21, 2009

Gonna cost at least 2500 for a decent coat of paint! 1000 and they`ll prolly paint over the bugs!!

Adams91LX · Apr 22, 2009

hard to really tell anything about the metallic fleck in it... stupid iphone can't take pictures worth a crap... oh well, hopefully we'll get the camera we put on our gift registry... my future wife thinks its for taking pictures of us... little does she know its for the car... lol jk... anyway... here's DSG from Maaco... hid retrofit and cobra tails ftw.
