My car needs paint. My car's trunklid and license plate bezel are rattle-canned so they don't match. My roof, both rear fenders, and both doors are deeply keyed. My spoiler has some notches in them from a prybar. Each door has one tiny door ding. My rear bumper has a scratch. My front bumper has license plate mounting holes even though my plate is mounted below behind a grill post.
And worst of all, my car is attention-whore-bright-ass-pearl yellow. Photos don't do it justice...you can see me coming from a mile away. Everyone loves the color and makes a face like they want to puke when I tell them about my new color that I want to go with. But I'm really wanting to paint my car. I want to add sideskirts and extensions and shave the front license plate mounting holes, sidemarkers, antenna, and then fix the two door dings I have. Then I want to pull the front bumper and fenders and engine, clean the crap outta my engine, and paint my engine bay and car. I want to paint everything an olive-green sort of color, like this: What do you guys think? And do you think someone could photoshop my car with '94-'95 OEM front extensions, OEM Curren rear extensions, and the VIS Z-Max sideskirts(like these), and the color change?

Thanks for the comments guys. I don't really like the dark green colors, and gunmetal or dark gray is a good consideration, except it's a lot more common, and I want my car to be more unique.
I sanded down and primed a fender from my purple Celica over the weekend and tried to mix some paint just to spray it on and see how it'd look, but my paint came out way too bright green...I needed brown but didn't have any. But I may try painting that fender a olive green sort of color soon and then shoot some clear on it and see how it looks. But for now I've decided that I'll buy a beater first (Celica, CRX, EF Civic, B13 Sentra, something like that) and then decide. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
