Painting the Celi, Should I go with this color? Options

[flipside97LTD]

I'd like to see what you guys and gals think of this color. I know I know, I shouldn't have a picture of a car other than a celi, but... this color only came on lambo's. Just tell me if it's a prob and I'll take em off.

What do you think of this color?? This is 2003 Lamborghini Arancio Atlas:

sick color. im curious how much the paint would cost though... im guessing A LOT

Actually it's not too expensive depending on how you look at it. It's a tri-stage candy orange, so it does have a lot of steps to it. But all candy's are tri-stage. Basically, HOK Kandy's ran about $800-$900 for my car, PPG Candy's $650, and this Lambo color $750-$850. What makes the lambo color expensive is the pearl coat that makes it candy. It was like $100-$150 a quart depending on the color.

I think orange is a great show car color. Its flashy but doens't look out of place. Great Choice! Make sure to post pics when you get it painted.

Orange is nice, but it's a bit too extravagant for MY tastes. But if I could afford a lambo color as a paintjob, I think I'd probably take it.

I got some exciting news... my gf's dad is a bodyman so I told him about the paint and all. He talked to his painter to see if he'd paint it for me. The painter said he could probably paint my car for the same amount of money as I'd spend on the paint. So like I'd spend $750 and my car's painted candy orange! Apparently he's one of the best painters in town too He just wants the paint codes so he can mix the color in Sikkens brand paint (what he's used to working with) instead of PPG. I'm waiting now for his call to see what goes down.

I just heard about getting the paint job today. Here's the deal. If I buy the paint it'll cost me $750. The painter says he can get me the paint for $600 and then he's gonna charge $100 to rent the spraybooth and $200 to paint it, if I do all the prep work.

It's $900 for it all. He can get the paint cheaper than I can, I guess through his work. I'm stoked cuz as it looks I'll be getting a lambo candy orange paint job from a great painter for under $1000 .

Update: I found out lastnight that it's $900 for him to paint just the exterior of the car. I'm gonna have to paint in all the door jams and inside the hatch and under the hood. Which will mean i've gotta take the doors and hatch off to get paint in there. Heh, that'll be fun That's still an awesome deal though. I'll probably start painting in a few weeks.
