man guys - be nice! someone just shelled out some serious dough for a paint job like that... remember this is the Contour Enthusiasts Group - it is still a Contour, and someone looks pretty enthusiastic on the paintjob!

Toadster is right. Each man has thier castle. And in thier castle they are the king. Take it easy on him. I'm sure he will be getting more eyes placed on his car than most of our cars. I don't think it's all that bad and if I saw it out cruzing my last thought probably would be to laugh. However, I'm not saying that I would do this, or anything like it to my car.

That paint would look right at home on a nice Cali style mini-truck, but doesn't sit right on a 4 door sedan. It would look alright if he had it body droped, shaved all handles, antena etc, and had it rollin on 20"s If I was going to spend that kind of cash on a paint job that was a little outrageous, I would get it done up like the 98 Mondeo btcc car, blue and silver, with all the sponsors on it, dropped with coilovers, and 19" OZ rims. But I'm not this cars owner, oh well.

I agree about it looking better on a mini truck, or something like that. IMO, it would look better with the colors Rydell mentioned. At any rate, it WILL get looks.
