Paint.

Whats up.. as you all know i got in a accident not to long ago.
So my new idea is.
I should just paint my whole car again.
anyone have any suggestions;
I was thinking about the New Cadillac escalade WHITE/Pearl
Or the New 06 GS LEXUS White/Pearl

Id think itll look fucking sexy.

But if anyone has any suggestions.. Feel free.
Thaxx

Yeah i love that color..
the only thing is i might just stick with primrose..
My interior is Dark gray.... u guys know what im talking about....
Usually White's Have like a Light Gray interior or a Tan Interior color.
I know its just not going to look right.
Plus if i Just paint my car same color i wont have to repaint the door jams/All Jams.. Etc.

If you're looking for a simple repaint, you wanna stay similar, or you will ahve to do the door jams, etc.

If your gonna do a color change, you have to do it right. Car gutted and the whole thing painted, not just a half assed job and the outside is the only thing a different color.

Dude for sure ill do it right. But honestly. Its going to be to much damn work. For a 3 stage pearl white. Im thinking about just masking From the quarter panel to the Front Fender and just sparying it primrose again...insurance isnt paying for my car so i have to do it on my own. :-( its going to be 2k to fix and another 500 for the Original spray. So should i just go with the original? Or invest another 1k and have a nice pearl JAM!?

DUDE I ALWAYS DREAMED of the new LEXUS pearl paint on my CL ever since they started busting it on the new cars, you are a P I M P for even considering that white pearl - and if you have THAT on a CL - you have to be kidding it would look like the damn ruffest thing ever - maybe even a DARK DARK red like a midnight cherry - that is pimp too man.
