We all know the car only came in 4 colors and this kinda disapointed me. My car will be going in to be repainted now for the second time. The first time it was painted a silver with blue pearl . I would've posted pics if I liked the results , but I didnt. Now it is up to me to decide on the color. I want your opinions on what colors would be cool. Also any artistic photoshop assistance would be more than greatly appreciated. I was thinking along the lines of a Graphite color like on the Lexus IS 300 , but then again it was just another one of those colors that had caught my eye.
Please be honest and creative, I spend all my money on this car , which I cant really afford but I do it any way for the love of the car!!!!!
Thanx for your time and thoughts! :p
wow, someone in the exact situation as myself. being that it seems 90% of all black SVTs seem concentrated in the Detroit area, I had to go with custom paint. Too bad the guy who painted it messed me up. Now my SVT just went to a custom shop on Friday for a whole new paintjob. I chose PPG Sunburnt Orange and I've already seen it on another car so I know it will come out tight.
I tell you, it was a hard decision on what color to choose. I thought about the metallic color you mentioned as it does look great on the IS300 and Mustang GT. I almost chose Polo Green which can also be seen on the IS300 which looks really good in my opinion. I also gave serious consideration to the Color Shift Paints but I didn't really love any of the colors I saw. So sunburnt orange is what it is and I look forward to getting it back later next month.
But I think the graphite color on an SVT with gunmetal colored rims would be really sharp.
