View Full Version : PAINTSHOP REQUEST: Modded 2006 tC with a very specific color
equinox2355 04-03-2008, 05:25 PM I would like to see what the color would look like on my tC.
Here is the shot of my car:

Here are two color samples, my desired would be basically the middle of these two.

and

Basically I am looking for the full paint to be that color, and if possible have one separate one that has the body line on the hood painted too.
Thanks in advance!
deflaytedwayz1 04-03-2008, 07:06 PM I think you should do something off the wall. Go to your local paint supplier and flip through the HOK and PPG and whatever other brand you might use and find a color in there. Otherwise I honestly think you'll regret going a color that is a few shades off from like an IIP or nautical. People are going to say it looks like a bad color match. Just my opinion but I seriously think you'll regret it when it's all said and done

deflaytedwayz1 04-03-2008, 07:45 PM I'm very well aware of the fact that it is his car which is why I didn't say hell no don't do that! I just recommended that he check out other options. If that's what he wants to do then that's fine.

equinox2355 04-04-2008, 02:00 AM Not quite what I had in mind, thank you though.
My paint instead of silver will be the blue color matched with the photos, and the hood will remain mostly CF except along the body lines (the ridge right above the headlights)
Hahaha. Blue hood = fail for not reading instructions. :lol:
captainlaziness 04-04-2008, 02:14 AM Lol. Rod, you kill me.
optional 04-04-2008, 02:15 AM I gave all the info to my friend, but he's busy right now, he said it wouldn't be a problem though, but if someone beats him to the punch, well, all the more power to them

Cabana 04-04-2008, 03:09 AM I did the other car because it's easier to change a color than silver.

sciontcmm 04-04-2008, 03:13 AM That is the easier way but he doesnt have that lip kit, rims, headlights, fogs or grill so I thought that would be pointless. Obviously it will look better that way.

Its a Unique color!..I mean it looks cool..I wouldnt sport it..lol...a little too Pastel-ish..

It's not about the car looking better, it's just easier to change the color of the car I did than to change silver to blue.
no-tec 04-04-2008, 02:49 PM i think the cf hood looks silly but the blue looks really cool
equinox2355 04-04-2008, 03:43 PM Yeah, I like it too, thanks for the work cabana & sciontcmm
Evo-Z 04-04-2008, 09:29 PM the Blue Lexus IS-F's color would be nice.
CSOCSO 04-05-2008, 03:33 AM thats ___ blue:D
