well i wanna paint my bowtie on my balt, and im hung on two different color choices. i wanna do either red or black. it doesnt matter which color i do, i like both of them, just wanted to see which one was more preferred on a vic. red car.

 

I'd say black. and when you paint your headlights (if you haven't realized it yet, you will) nightshade your reflector to keep the Red with just a touch of black scheme going

 

im a big fan of black so id go with that

 

I'm a fan of color-matching...so i say go with a victory red bowtie

 

Red FTW!

 

so it looks like this poll is just as split on what color to go as i am. lol

 

hahah, we are no help. I color matched cuz I didn't want to go for the halloween look. how about a red bowtie and black trim? Or you could paint it red and if you dont like it, cover it black. Or be real original and do half and hald.... A diagonal line through the bowtie that goes in the same direction of the lines of the bowtie already might not look too bad

 

yea it does sound kinda cool, but i wanna keep it nice and simple. dont wanna say, HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT MY SWEET BOWTIE!!!!! lol, but im gunna sit here and try to find some pix of color matched front emblems on a red car, and if neone else has or knows where there is a pic of it, please post the link for me!!!! (u might just get some rep for it) thats all the incentive i have to offer, sry

 

I'm telling you go RED!!!!!!!!

 

yes mam. lol i was leaning towards it newayz, but if u say so, i guess ill go red

 

haha don't do it because i want it to be red! you need to do it because you want it to be red haha! I'm partial to red haha!

 

I am in the process of painting my front bowtie red and also taking pics along the way for OrngBalt's "DIY: Painted Bowtie".

My opinion - color match.

 

i did not go color match on mine, but i will be painting it black and putting the pink back on!

 

when u get those pix, let me kno, ill go check out that thread. thanx

I will add pix this Friday. A diagonal would look sweet, say for like PinkStripedCobalt's half pink half black following the already right 45deg. I believe.

 

hahaha sweet... someone likes my diagonal idea.... i thought i would get flamed for that.. LOL

I think pink should do hers black on horizontal sections and pink vertical with the center pink. Or tape down the center and pink stripe it to match the car

 

I don't think i could do that by myself, i think i'm going to need help!

 

haha oh sweetheart, it won't be that bad. I'll come down to PA and help you.

 

LOL...just some good ol' fashioned painters tape will work....

 

Viper.... SHUTUP! You are ruining my in.

 

Heres what you can expect if you color match it. Which BTW is the way I'd say to go, too many people are doing black to death on thier cars. Be original.

Anyway heres mine.


BTW it comes apart and its easy to paint and put back together.

 

@ Jackalope - Looks good, mine will be looking like that real soon...

 

That's what I did.... Colormatch SOM


So if you have a black balt... what should you do? Colormatch or paint black?

 

Hmmm....Imma have to say color match, this is a good question for "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader"?...!

 

i decided to go color matched, cuz its more original, and i found some pix of a red color matched front emblem. so im gunna make it another side project to do when i put my injen cai in, which should be here anyday!!!!!!!!!!!
