Alright guys, I recently discovered I could repaint my car for less than the price of a Hahn Intercooler. Im thinking about taking advantage of this opportunity to do a cool Two-tone on my car. I will be painting it silver, and then putting a different color candy over it, which is just a transparent color that gets mixed in with clearcoat to change the color. The colors im going from is a light orange, or a lime green. I wanna keep the color light, dont really want a dark color car. I really like the orange, my girlfriend prefers the green. Now the silver that will be going down first has coarse metallics in it so they will shine through the color and pop real nice, so it would be an ornage with a silver metallic look to it. Same with the green.

The hood roof and trunk would be painted gloss black and was thinking about adding some metal flake to match the car. Orange would have a tiny bit of Orange flake in the black. Or might just spray the ornage candy over the black to see what kind of effect it has, still have to do some spray out cards when i get the color. But anyways, heres the pics.

Ignore the different shade of black on the side of the hood. woudl all be gloss black



These are NOT exact colors, just what I could come up with on my computer to give you an idea of the shade im looking for.

I will be welding the trunk holes and going wingless. And will be removing the interior silver trim pieces and bezels and color matching them to the outside.

Opinions? let me know!

 

ORANGE!!!!!! pls would be soo badass

 

there's no option for exile.

How dare you even think of such a thing.

 

orange is badass

 

Orange with that color green for the wheels

 

thanks for ignoring my pm

 

Keep it yellow.

Yellow candy.

 

Go for the snake skin green color like the dodge viper! but orange is badass too.

 

just PM;d ya back, i apologize i checked my PM's real quick and then had to get off so my woman could use the computer. forgot all about it

 

id say orange, but make it a metallic burnt orange or something, not a neon or bright orange.

 

Green

 

yea i hear ya, i think thats what I want. When i get the materials ill do a spray out card, the way ill be spraying this will be really similair to nightshading tail lights. Car will be silver for the metallics, then orange candy will be mixed in the clearcoat while it is cleared. Every coat of clear will make it a darker orange.

vote up-top!!

 

i dunno man.. i like that green lol

 

orange.

 

Uh this is a tough one seeing how my fav color is green but i like being one of the only green cobalts.....

 

I like the orange, but you cant beat factory paint and your car is a great color now. If I were you I would use the money for something else.

 

yah id leave your car as is. but if you wanna paint it. Candy Apple Green FTW!!

 

Well doing this would allow me to fix any small imperfections in my paint now. rock chips, the small dent in my hood/ etc. Also where i did the Evo mod theres a hard line from the height difference in the paint. Doing this would allow me to redo it all and have it all look seamless and professional.

and dont say nothing beats factory paint. Say that to the several years of GM peelers where there paint and primers had a chemical reaction and within a year or two the paint would seperate from the car. Im sure you have seen cars rolling around with missing paint or paint that flakes off in pancakes with a powerwasher or airnozzle. GM decided it was more cost effective to leave them alone and pay the bodyshops to strip and repaint the cars when the people would complain about it 2 years from then. And several cars are repainted in areas before you even get them delivered due to damage on the production line/in transit. just thought that was interesting when i heard it

 

i like them both id go with the orange.. but thats the color i want...

 

i likey orange

 

I think you should leave it, but I vote orange.

 

orange looks ******* sick

 

Green for sure. You can buy an orange cobalt but Ive only seen one green one.

 

both colors look sick as hell i like them both. orange and green are both sexy. its a tough choice for me tho lol

 

lol i hear ya guys. i feel the same which is why i posted this!
