need help.
Its time to fix the paint job I had and this time I'm going for show car quality. I have been contemplating over color choice. Stick with same color or ferrari red, go white or pearl white, metallic gray, or chrome. I do like the chrome, but not sure what it would look like on our cars. I plan to have a shop do chrome on the gas door to see how good it would be, but if one of you guys good with photoshop can make my car chrome I would appreciate it. This is what it looks like now. ![]() This is the type of chrome I like.

thanks for the opinion guys -- not sure what color I really want - just that after having the car red, which is its original color gets boring after a while and a color change would feel like I'd be driving a new car. Chrome would definitely stand out too much but thats the kind of direction I want to go. I really want to make the 6gc be recognized.
I should have time off of work tomorrow to get back home and visit the body shop. It looks good in that picture because that was like a month after the paint job. Come to find out that I was ripped off and the guy who did the work did not put primer on many areas causing paint to chip real easily. Once I confronted him about it - he didn't deny it and said to bring it back to him and he would fix it, but since he cheated me once - I'm not wasting my time with the guy again. Not 100% sure of color choice, but we'll see what happens. |

I brought it back and they denied it all. they were like must've been something done before we got it. hahah yeah, right. but they did it right the second time so i'm happy. -------------------- ![]() *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
