Title: Paint or Graphics
Post by: capri303 on February 23, 2004, 05:46:00 PM

I just wanted to see how many people prefer painting graphics on their car versus a solid color.

If you prefer graphics then would you go vinyl or painted?

Personally, I like a solid clean look.
I feel it's classier, but thats just mho.

it really depends on what u want? i mean by grafics i assume u mean fast n furious type. then i would go with vinyl (so u could change them if u like). but for flames and things of this nature. i would go with paint. i am a sleeper type guy so i like solid paint. now if u plan on put'n a body kit on then i would defintely go with some sort of grafic cause your trick'n it out.

I agree with Bill (shocker) I like the solid color altho i have seen some tricked out cars that are sweet but I could not see paying more than a car is worth for a paint job.
Did you know why Bill likes the solid colors? its because he is so old he remembers when cars only came in black.  (http://graemlins/big-biggrin.gif)

Vinyl is the way to go for graphics.  That way you can remove them or change them without repainting the car.

I know what you mean, my paint job is worth more than the car, and it's a solid color.  But Damn it looks good.

solid color is nice but if your looking for a different look that, and want to be totally different then go with the graphics.

Wow, I'm glad I took the time to paint my own then.  It cost me less than $100 to do 5 coats of base Stratosphere Blue and 6 coats of clear.  Maybe $150 by the time you factor in the sandpaper and compounds and everything.
