Paint color?

brandon444 · February 21st, 2011, 10:29 PM

What color do you think would look best on a 91 lx?

ryanw · February 21st, 2011, 10:32 PM

What ever color you like.

What color is it now ? it looks silver, Thats the color of mine and i like it. If you plan on painting it any color but what it is now its not going to look that good if the engine bay and door jams are not painted the same, just my opinion though

brandon444 · February 21st, 2011, 11:16 PM

It's silver now but its faded pretty bad, I was thinking like dark red or dark blue or just repainting it the same color

ryanw · February 21st, 2011, 11:22 PM

repaint it the same color

My LX is navy blue now, but it used to be silver.

Ryan is right, you can see silver under the hood and in the door jams unless you get a really good paint job, but I actually don't mind it too much.

Well those were my school colors maybe that's why. lol

Go with midnight blue

i'd stay real close to the origonal color. if not you wount be happy with the door jams, engine bay, inside the hatch and so on being a differant color. it will look like a redneck camaro. if you did whats needed to do it wright it will cost the same as going out and buying another fox the color you want.

flatblack94 · February 23rd, 2011, 08:52 AM

^ agreed with the above about the door jams but personally i would go calypso green

flyin ryan · February 23rd, 2011, 09:01 AM

vibrant red or a dark shadow gray for me.. hell i love my dark shadow metallic blue and I never liked any blues before.

I just got my painted and I ended up going with silver, and i couldn't be happier. I ended up shelling out 1800, that with all the body work, jams etc painted to match. That was primer, base and multiple coats of clear, and a 10yr warranty...

perdue5.0 · February 23rd, 2011, 02:16 PM

everybody is gonna tell you a different color.. you just gotta go with what you like..

I got it down at a local shop down in south Austin called Marlos. Its a small family operated business. They blew me away everyone else I check out was wanting 5-10k for the same work.

cleangtvert · February 24th, 2011, 01:00 PM

perdue5.0 · February 25th, 2011, 11:17 AM

I manage a autozone and the shop is one of our accounts so I would assume that came into account when i was originally quoted. It's my dd and I have it parked out front everyday, so it works as good advertising for the shop as well.

cleangtvert · February 25th, 2011, 11:08 PM

sounds like you got the hook up!
