red/white04

the IROC is up for paint in a few weeks....I'm hung up and can't decide on red or yellow....currently the car is white with red interior....how ever i do have mint tan interior...Help me make up my mind ladys and gents...my driveway is nothing but black or white cars (my monte is white and staying that way) so i've been thinking of changing it up a bit.

You should either go with a deep dark navy blue, or a deep dark maroon red..lol....But I would go red....Although yellow is pretty cool as well, and you don't see it as often. Sorry for the not helping part. =]

Gotta go red!

I'm kinda partial to the Flame Red.

This one has the grey interior but yours would look cool with the Flame Red & Gold stripes with the tan interior.

Paint it yellow! Canary yellow is good or any late model yellow gm uses like on the vettes. Either color you paint it, make the headlight buckets black.

red/white04

painting the headlight buckets black is a must!!! my two choices are yellow or red...i've eliminated the rest....(and not a canary...more of a mustardy yellow or a bright red)

NT-Z

4get that, go with a canary over "mustardy yellow" that kinda shade looks cheap. Look 4 a lustrious shade of yellow.You can look through color chips at r local auto paint store. If you u go red, go with the current one there using on the chevy trucks. Its bright and has depth.

good luck

I've always wanted my headlight buckets to be black. Can I paint them myself?

red/white04

yeah..its pretty easy...just do some sanding with a really fine grit..and shoot it with some good spray...did on my monte and its been there two years with out fading or flaking

red/white04

yes, its really easy...just sand it with some really fine sand paper...tape it off with painters tape and hit it with some good sand paper. i did this on my monte carlo and its been on there for over two years without fading or flaking.......

red/white04

I'm either gonna use velocity yellow(ZO6) or the yellow off of the dodge truck/viper.....PICTURES ANYBODY????????

KatsCam

Thanks. Like 2000 paper? Primer first?

Have pics of that being done or finished?

red/white04

YELLOW FOR SURE!!

NT-Z

I looked online between the dodge ram srt yellow and the vette yellow, and in my opinion i like the vetter yellow just case i think it looks more vivid. And with black headlight bckets, tint and maybe black rimz it wold look awesome.

Ultimately its ur choice to make- What do u like? there both good.


good luck

eww sorry bro thats nasty looking in my opinion.. there a honda prelude painted like that around my town and hes got a checkerd flag pattern added to it and its just so wrong... thats just my 2 cents tho what ever floats ur boat bro

all u wanna do is take the shine of the paint away dont go sanding to the primer or even worse the actuall bumper.. i would use a red scuff pad and a can of high gloss black and a can of clear.. go threw make sure its all "not shiney" and tape it off and pay close attention to this step it will make a big difference if u mess up here. dont forget about over spray cover everything u dont want black. i would put 3 or 4 coats of black on there and 2 or 3 coats of clear on. good luck dont forget to post pics up of the process i wanna see how it comes out

that post above me was supposed to be a quote from KATSCAM

Sinister Z

If you like yellow then I would suggest Ferrari Modena Yellow, just like my sig.

89iroc-z559

i agree that was the best advice i ever took.

red/white04

your car is what made me consider yellow....it is amazing (was also my background on my laptop for the longest time)

bigdavesiroc

^^^^NICE!!!! What % tint? IMHO you could lower it a bit. BTW, custom wheels market should be getting my 17" irocs in this or next week!

BlueZee28

iTrader: (30)

It's 20% tint with 5% on the back. And ya our plan is to lower it after I finish my swap and get her a new daily driver. She wants an LSX too haha.

Those wheels will look outstanding on your car.

Ahh... magnificent Camaro, BlueZee

Nice Wolfman, you have the same paint scheme I am going to do on mine. Torch red with silver stripe.

WolfmanTA

Thanks Bro! I'm going to get mine painted Flame Red Metallic but keep the grey bottom. I don't like the colour red it is now. Here is a pic of a car Flame Red Metallic. But I'm keeping my spoiler flat black also keeping flat black strips on my Ram Air Hood. Cheers....
