^OMG I forgot, I'm so getting that.




In all seriousness , I'm really liking that Carbon Black on that M3. That flat black on that Tahoe looks hideous too me. It is trying to grab too much attention also.

Harlequin paint job is the best. you never have to worry about color matching and blending in when you need something resprayed.

I wish I had one of those with a VR6 in it.

check that out, it's pretty neat. I don't know if you'd do that to your whole car but the hood would look pretty bad ass. Look through all 9 pages and there is a video too.

I know that isn't the real picture.

How about Alpine White on the car and then paint the grey parts of the body kit Black?

Would that flow nice with A SPEC gunmetal wheels?

dude you got to paint it something unique not a plain color witha fancy name like alpine white... its still white. ppl wont be able to tell the diff really between that and WDP.

like the midnight purple... that sht is sick. gotta get something like that where ppl wont mistake it for a OEM color.

True, but I talked to my painter and he told me it would cost about 2k to change the color because of the door jambs and other stuff.

Imma keep it basic and just go Carbon Black I think. He's doing it for me for 1k.

I bring you BMW Laguna Seca.

Surprisingly the color works with various color rims as well, and looks great along carbon fiber.
