Xeryon Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It is probably going to look better when you paint the whole car black instead of mis-matched colors .....but..... just what we need, another rattle can flat black crx. Within my sphere of daily driving I probably encounter 4 crx's every day and at least half are flat black can jobs. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_adbell Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 i am assuming that much like everyone else you are tight on money, and i can respect that, believe me, so understanding that i say go ahead and rattle can it flat black and f*ck anyone elses opinion. honestly guys he just wants it to look somewhat decent while he makes it into something better.. don't we all want that.. well those of us with beat up cars and no money do what you gotta do until you can do better.

I understand that...believe me. But I also believe in the "Do it once, do it right" philosophy. Part of the reason my Talon is still down, and my Celica needs bodywork.

Part of the reason my Talon is still down, and my Celica needs bodywork. and i agree with that.. to an extent. but hes also still learning and i am sure he would rather spend money on mechanics than aesthetics at the moment, so make the car somewhat presentable and dont cheap out in the engine, suspension.. you get the idea. seriously 60 bucks isnt that much to worry about, he can save for a better paint job while making the car one color. i dont see the problem with that.

Xeryon Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 ^^ Did you read my post bell? You admonished me for saying exactly the same thing you did but I used different words. First thing I said is that the flat black will look better then the multicolored panels. Then I lamented that spray painted flat black CRX's are more common then stock painted CRX's of all colors combined. Seriously, half of them on the street in central ohio are rattle can flat black.

Kastigir Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 it was red befor th PO fracked it up....i might do that rob It doesn't even have to be the original color, just a color that originally came on that vehicle. ITR yellow, was not available on CRXs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
