THE SAME PAINT ON A SMALL CAR MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT ON A LARGER CAR. THE TIRES, TRIM, INTERIOR COLORS ALL PLAY A PART IN OVERALL "LOOKS ": COLOR SHADE. I WAS GOING TO PAINT MY CAR FORD CHROME YELLOW UNTILL A GUY AT A CAR SHOW POINTED OUT THE " GREEN" TINT IN THE FORD YELLOW. PROVED HE'S POINT BY SHOWING ME A YELLOW MUSTANG AND A YELLOW CORVETTE PARKED SIDE BY SIDE. I'M VERY GLAD HE DID. MY CAR LOOKS DIFFERENT WITH THE WINDSHIELD AND SILVER JETCOAT SIDE PIPES. CHROME, ALUM AND SILVER TRIM PIECES HAVE TONE DOWN THE LOUD VIPER YELLOW PAINT ON MY CAR. NOW THAT THE CAR IS FINISHED, ALL MY COBRA BUDDY HAVE ADMITTED THAT THE CAR LOOKS GREAT. BUT WHEN THEY FIRST HEARD THAT I WAS GOING TO PAINT IT YELLOW THEY DID NOT THINK THEY WOULD LIKE IT.
I KNEW YELLOW WAS A COLOR THAT DID NOT LOOK GOOD ON MOST CAR. VERY FEW! BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLORS. WIFE AND KIDS HATE IT. A LOUD COLOR FOR A LOUD CAR! I EVEN BOUGHT A BLACK DIE CAST COBRA AND REMOVED EVERYTHING AND SANDED IT DOWN. HAD A FRIEND AT A BODY SHOP PAINT IT CHROME YELLOW. I THEN PAINT THE INTERIOR THE COLORS I WANTED. JUST TO SEE IF ALL THE COLORS WORKED TOGETHER. I THINK THEY DO.
MY WIFE WANTED ( LOTS OF PRESSURE) ME TO PAINT IT RED. I LOOKED AT A LOT OF DIFFERENT RED. CRUISED A BUNCH OF CAR LOTS LOOKING. DID U TURNS WHILE DRIVE JUST TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT A CAR IN A PARKING LOT OR DRIVEWAY. RED IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!
WHILE WORKING IN ST LOUIS I WAS GASSING UP THE TOWN CAR WHEN A OLDER YELLOW MUSTANG PULLED UP TO THE PUMP BESIDE ME. IT WAS THE SHADE OF YELLOW THAT I WANTED. I ASKED HIM THE COLOR. AFTER MANY MONTHS OF LOOKING AND WORRING, I PAINTED IT 2001 VIPER YELLOW.

MOST MEN ARE COLOR BLIND AND THE REST OF THE PEOPLE DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR YOU PAINT YOUR CAR.



PAINT IT THE COLOR YOU LIKE!! IT'S YOUR CAR.
