yellow or not??

88*mr2 · 08-15-2009, 01:12 AM

so its a dark blue color now with about the same color interior...idk about the rest of u but i have always loved bright yellow on a sleek car...it just looks sexy wat do u think when the body work is finished paint it canarie yellow or leave it dark blue??

Davis · 08-15-2009, 01:13 AM

Do not change the color! Dark Blue Pearl is the best color for the MK1 in my opinion. I'm jealous.

88*mr2 · 08-15-2009, 01:16 AM

well im going to let the board decide if the poll goes yellow its getting painted after the body work is done lol if not ill just match the paint keep it origial..dont get me wrong i love the color it is now but i think yellow would just look so sick

328FTW · 08-15-2009, 01:21 AM

Your car you decide, seriously whatever makes you enjoy the car. People express opinions of how they would make the car but its not theirs and you do what makes you happy not someone else.

SW21T · 08-15-2009, 02:17 AM

What Yellow?

Davis · 08-15-2009, 08:51 AM

Unless your going to be spending a whole bunch on the color change, then go for it. If not, factory paint job ftw.

Mehhh it's alright. DBP is much sexier.

Everett · 08-18-2009, 03:52 PM

I dont like yellow! Original paint is the shiz!

muffinman · 08-19-2009, 11:15 AM

i don't think the MK1's look good yellow.

traintech86 · 08-23-2009, 07:36 PM

grrrr if you wanna paint it yellow, trade me cars and paint mine yellow. i am not a fan of this shade of red and ever since i saw that shade of blue i have had to decide between that shade of blue or a deep green shade. bah so hard!

grizzy225 · 09-03-2009, 11:03 AM

i like yellow, but not on the mk1... thats just my opinion.

like 328FTW said... word for word

curvesrgood · 09-03-2009, 11:10 AM

There is only one yellow you could even consider and it will be expensive... Fly Yellow, the 80's Ferrari Yellow color. I considered painting one of my two 88's that color, but think I've settled on matching them in Ferrari Red (Rosso Corsa). Then I can swap body panels, spoilers, decklids, etc at will. I vote for keeping it DBP.

RePete · 09-03-2009, 01:24 PM

Jeez, don't change it. I've always loved Dark Blue Pearl. Yellow is for taxis and schoolbuses!

Raptor13x · 09-03-2009, 02:30 PM

Unless you're going to do it right, which means tearing the car down to the bare chassis, then acid-dipping it, prepping it properly, and painting the entire thing, inside and out, don't do it. Also, the cost of the paint job would exceed the value of the vehicle, so don't do it, lol.

mr2v63vz · 09-03-2009, 06:55 PM

paint it gunmetal or keep it blue i hate yellow
but serouisly if you want it yellow its your car do what makes you happy

SW21T · 09-03-2009, 09:20 PM

mr2v63vz · 09-03-2009, 10:29 PM

Oteck · 09-03-2009, 10:42 PM
