My buddy and I here in good ol' Chicago have a paint booth reserved for April He will be getting re-sprayed in the OEM Laguna Green Metallic but my car wil go under a transfromation

My CL is going to be re-sprayed Rio Yellow Pearl
(kinda like this S2K)


And I also will be taking off the factory spoiler and replace it with a Carbon Fiber design by Seibon

Feedback would be great.

Also what color should I get the wheels powdercoated? lol

 

Not yellow. Graphite or black or silver would be my suggestions. What are your wheels? Have a pic?

 

to....loud....

 

^what?

 

But not boring.

 

That's going to look horrid on the CL design. Not many cars can look good in yellow.
If it was me....I'd do corvette blue with black wheels.

 

stock type-s wheels until i save up some more after the paint job and get some powdercoat white Axis Halos

 

Oh yeah, I also think i'm gonna have to look into getting some '03 heads and tails just for the finished product to look "newer" lol

 

I thought that at first but then again it just looks like it will flow real well on the car.

 

True fuzzy not many can pull yellow, but the main reason is the shade of yellow. The Rio Yellow Pearl just looks amazing IMO.
If an OEM color choice was that "Sundance orange" color more commonly refered to as "Pimp Daddy Gold" for our CL, then Rio Yellow Pearl will look badass.
Blue was an option but I wanted white powdercoated rims and blue w/ white rims looks a little

 

ask someone to photoshop it for you to get a better idea

 

^ know anyone really good at photoshop?

hes done chops for the TL side, hes good

 

^ Yeah...he's a nice guy.

He's helped other buddies of mine with chops.

 

I'm not sure about this Rio Yellow Pearl.

You can't think of any colors that are better looking?

I would say...keep looking.

White wheels...bleh.

They should compliment the car's exterior color and white is a sharp contrast.

Get dirty too easily....you are going to either have to be cleaning them all the time and enjoy it dirty...

 

^
well originally I kinda liked the Carbon Bronze Pearl off the TLs

but then I was just kind alike ...eh too plain

and white wheels are in now Noah! dont you have a subscription to tuner magazines?! lol

 

haha what about BMWs Atlantic Blue Metallic?

 

even after drinking all night i can still make cars change colors.

 

nice ass chop kevin.... but u'll need a kit to make it look more sporty to even come close on pulling it off.

 

why thanks. this chop was brought to you by Stone pale ale beer out of san diego.

 

Honestly, I think the CL is just plain too fckn big to look good in yellow (you're driving a 2-door yacht). Yellow also seems to suit straighter lines better... and the CL is blessed with none. I usually like brighter colors, white, silver, etc, but BMW's Carbon Black is my new favorite

 

Unique.

Not exactly the word I would go with.

 

definately too loud for a CL --- but if your bent on yellow go with something a little less bright



If it was me, (and i know you dont like blue) id repaint either like the bmw interlagos blue, lemans blue, or topaz blue

 

haha dude it looks like a banana on wheels. kinda reminds me of that oscer myer hot dog vehicle

 

That is a good chop!

I'm not feeling it CL-SA

I still think keep looking...there are so many options.

This one doesn't compliment the design of the CL.

Again...my

 

Its ugly yes, but no worse than the sundance gold

 

Great chop btw distorted.

 

Went through the thread and didn't see this yet so here goes....

Dibs on the spoiler!!! =]

 

anybody remember that yellow cl with the yellow wheels from a few years ago?

 

... yeah you guys are right, probably not the greatest choice in the world for a CL...and it looked so good on the S2K

 

+1 on the blue off the vette

 

I like sonic blue pearl on the cobras a lot.

 

Looks like a smiling taxi cab

 

puke!!!!!!!!!! after painting it yellow all your missing is a spoiler like the one on that s2000 and a GOT RICE sticker.

 

whenever i see a CL with those fogs it reminds me of this smiley lol

 

^ That's funny!

 

haha "teef"

 

Yellow isn't that bad but if you go with such a bold color you have to back it up with some serious HP, so they'll think twice. But if I were you and were willing to take the time and paint the car correctly i would do something f-n sexy.

Take in to mind that our cars body is simple but sexy, sleek but long... you have to pick a color that suits her completely.

exp. of flat color would be the BMW M3 light and dark blue
exp. of a metallic colors sonic blue pearl, Si blue, dark green, bronze "like people have their wheels", Black but with a deep red metallic

 

Paint it Lime Green!

 

If I really cant think of any really good color I was thinkinig of just giving it a coat of BMW M3 Gunmetal Silver.

But in the meantime Im considering the Orange color that the Lambos' use lol
