I like it! I am trying to figure out what kind of multi color paint job I should get for mine....

How did you decide upon this one?

We worked out an arrangement were he painted my car, I design him a website (he paints for a living, I design websites for a living). Yes, he is based in MD.

Well, he is the one who suggested the white color, which I knew would be a good color to work with the Nautical Blue. Also, my interior have silver accents (did them myself) and he suggested doing a silver pinstripe between the white a blue, but has I was mocking it up in photoshop, I decided to make the silver a tad more pronounced, but not to over whelming.

very nice. like buddahs said, once you get other mods (tint, drop rims) it would look 100x better. good job though

im sorry but that looks rediculous.

the color combo is just a bad decision. too extreme. that little bit of silver doesn't help either.

definately drop it and add some wheels and maybe you can save it.

just definatley not feeling it at all.

asking someone what they spent on a custom job is like asking a woman how much she weighs. Not something you should ask, and if you get an answer, its prolly not completely true

As for the "your cars paint sucks" comment. SO long as your happy, who cares what he thinks. Build it for you and you'll never be upset.

he never said "your cars paint sucks" he gave a constructive response to what he thought on the paint job.
no need to defend the poster im sure hes happy w/ the look otherwise he wouldnt have posted.
