ok guys, i have black doors due to getting power windows from marks car and realizing its a huge pita to transfer them to my doors, i planned on getting the whole car painted this summer but funds are limited.

i want to paint the doors red myself, i figure that even if the shade doesnt match, it will look better than black, cause they stand out like a sore thumb..

does anyone have any ideas for a good rattle can that would make this look ok?

the other opinion i need is that do you guys think it would look worse with rattle canned red doors or real painted black doors..

i still plan on getting it painted just other things come first, and i really dont wanna bring the car up to school with a 3sgte engine and black doors frown.gif
