DelSolSweetie Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Alright so i know i was going to paint it black and pink but now i think we're going with a pearl white and a pink star design(what the star design looks like im not too sure)... sound good for a girly del sol? i hope it is cause the guy is buyin the paint tomorrow cause he has two weeks to paint it before i take it to a car show
Ben. Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Black. White rims. Looks real gewd. White and pink, eh.
wannaBstuntin Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 IMO white and pink don't contrast enough. But post some pics when you get it back...I'm interested to see it
DelSolSweetie Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 well when i first got the car i wanted it pearl white with baby pink.. but then i went to black with hot pink but i'm kinda worried there might be a wave or something with the body that we dont feel (some dumb people had it before me and it has minor body damage all over the place that i didnt know was there until inspecting the car today) so i went back to the white idea but instead of a baby pink that wont show up i think hes doing a hot pink and pearl white.. he showed me the colors and some sketches he made up.. it'll be a good paint job and i'm hopin it contrasts enough i'll have pics in like 2 weeks after hes done with it.. and i think im going to go with silver rims.. i dont know yet..
lceah Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 what would go with your personality? imo that's what matters too... white/baby pink is soft and sweet girly black/hot pink stands out more and is more spicy... white and hot pink and then silver rims? is that enough contrast? I used to want to get a white car and drop it a lot and then on the sides have pink and purple arc lines...I'm into trance though so that would go with me... will wait for your pics
wannaBstuntin Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah, purple would def compliment the pink to make it stand out more.....Silver/polished rims would look good too, but it always depends on the style of the wheels more than the color of them.
lceah Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 post a pic of those rims you said you might go with...
CRG7 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 why does it need to be "girly", just because you're a girl i never understood that
DelSolSweetie Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 why does it need to be "girly", just because you're a girl i never understood that it doesnt have to be.. but i want it that way i have two other cars.. one is t-top firebird that is red.. and the other one a a 84 b2000 that im puttin a 302 in right now and everythin is black and blue(thats not girly) but i just wanted something pink... and im not painting the whole thing pink.. some girl has a pink civic around town thats all pink and it looks just bad.. and right now i have some wci rims but there black and i'm borrowing my friends 18's for the car show i think... i have no idea what rims i want for it.. i'll have to see the finished paint job before i decide(not getting chrome... i'll get silver) i'll have pics soon.. i'm givin the guy the car tonight to start on it
wannaBstuntin Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 There's some black and pink car around here. Prob a Civ, can't remember though. It had a pink aluminum spoiler as well, and some decal on the back window (can't remember what it said, but something ridiculous), and the licence plate says "UWANTME" or something to that effect. Car is pretty ridiculous but definitely an attention getter if that's what you want. I was thinking the owner might be a hot chick ~18 yo. But I actually saw her come out of Autozone one day and it was the ugliest smoker-faced 50 yo woman I've ever seen. bleh When you paint a car like that, I hope you're not expecting a large customer base when trying to sell later. !!!
DelSolSweetie Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 i'm going to school for engineering and i bought the car to drive about an hour to school everyday when i transfer next year.. so it'll be mine for a while..
James Matteu Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 i'm going to school for engineering... Where are you going and what is your major? I am a UNF grad (Chemistry/Mathematics) getting ready for med-school.
lceah Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I like just a touch of personality...doesn't exactly have to be what the world thinks is "girly" hehe... the only pink thing that I have relating to cars is my black license plate frame with hot pink sparkly Metallica font "unpredictable" pics will be nice
DelSolSweetie Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 im going for mechanical engineering.. im doing good so far.. im still in my freshman year though but okay so i dropped the car off at the paint place tonight and on the way back what else did i see but one of pink civics i was talking about.. i tried gettin a pic of it to show how dumb it looks(stock rims and stock everything else) but this is the only one i could get o and i took pics today of the crappy black before i gave it to the guy so i'd have before and after pics(the paint chipped off a lot of the car so no crap talking i know the front bumper was multi colored): it looks like crap hahaha but there are crappier cars then mine.. i'll have after pics soon
BuddySol Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 is that stock height? hmmm...g'luck with the paint job. There used to be a pink Civic HB around here. Saw it all the time...just wahhh-WAHHHHHHH!-ing every where. one day I saw the driver and it was a dude. Ehhhh...the following year the car was a lavender? light purple...whatever...it was UGLY.
Hatch92 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 car doesn't look bad flat black, as long as the whole car was flat black.
DelSolSweetie Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 it wont be stock height when i get it back from the shop but yah my luck is this: drop the car off last night to get painted.. go to drive my firebird to work and the throttle body injector doesnt feel like working!!!! and my truck is still in the shop.. so i have nothin to drive!
lceah Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 oh...is the truck going to be in the shop for long?
airjordan223 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 im going for mechanical engineering.. im doing good so far.. im still in my freshman year though im a ME major too, welcome to hell
Kegger Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Ride your bike, lol. J/K I know what it's like not to have a car and need one very badly.
DelSolSweetie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 well see its not i didnt have a car.. i technically had three haha but i fixed the car.. it just had a clogged throttle body injector.. it ran fine today so i guess im good i have no idea when im gettin the truck back but the del sol should have paint on it by thursday!
