I took a picture of my car the other day and the color looks VERY cool in my opinion. its a black green. I am seriously thinking about getting my car painted this color. My car is actually deep forrest green. Heres the pic im talking about. And no those arent wheel spacers, I was just messing around. View attachment 477664
whoa... we both have a Mustang and an Acura... wild... i have a 2004 Acura RSX...
anyway... just to share... I had a black 1994 Acura Integra GS-R... and that thing was my last attempt at a black car... I washed it one day to go out that night... by the time i went out that night, it had already accumulated a noticable amount of dust that i left finger marks on the door handle... that was the final straw... (this was in an underground parking garage, btw)...

Well I stopped by the bodyshop today to get a final price for the apint job, and I'm in a dilemna.
To do a panel-off paint job where they basically paint EVERYTHING in the new color its gonna be $5k+, to just repaint in laser red and fix some body damage its gonna be $2500. I dont think I can justify an extra 42500 just to have it a cool lookin black color.
Now, they can (but are not very happy) to do a standard paint job without taking the panels off. The problem is that i would have to like paint the doorjams, underhood, inner fenders, and trunklid underside black. Then also behind every molding it will still be red, which is kind of jankety.
So, I CAN make it black, and it'll look nice, but it wont be 100% 'the right way'.
I think I'm just gonna stick with laser red, have a brand new looking car, and put that $2k into the suspension.
Why not do the top half black and the bottom have lazer red. The was thread about a purdy red and black stang. I just can't remember the web site...boosted something. mgraw was asking about it and someone posted a pic. It looked great...
