Painting a Green RT/10? Shame on you!

I know this isn't constructive, but green is my second favorite Gen I/II color.

 

[GTS Bruce]

I don't like green anything except trees,grass etc.I love the smooth classy custom look of a gen 1 car.Why not just a high quality orig color paint job?Probably worth more in the long run.Forget stripes.Why clutter up that custon classy smooth looking car. GTS Bruce

I am thinking of maybe a orange or copper with silver gts strips

 

[OKViper]

Lambo Orange - no stripes though, save those for the GTS's...

Second place for me would be white.

 

[ohiodoc]

Lambo orange is one option, buddy of mine in So Cal has a srt in lambo orange. Looks hot.

 

[Sam 01 RT10]

Maybe a darker shade of green metallic, like the Chromaillusion stuff.. Looks green one way, black another?
Sombody did a great job of lining those cars up in that last pic, btw.

 

[ohiodoc]

yeah he wasnt too shaby, I want to go a lighter color though. Green and dark green showes everything.

I had silver stripes on my Green rt/10 and loved it.

 

[ohiodoc]

any pics of it

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

I had silver stripes on my Green rt/10 and loved it.

That looks good. Gold or yellow stripes would look good too.

I have a Prowler painted HOK Kandi Tangelo.....over a white base......the brightest orange I have ever seen...everyone loves the color.....but I would forget stripes on this color....it doesn't need them....

 

[ohiodoc]

any pics of your prowler? I want to see some pics people.

ps....the new Viper Quarterly had a couple of SRT10....one is orange and one is lime.....they look good....lime isn't one of my favorite colors(I have a lime Challenger RT conv), but it sure does stand out in a crowd...the orange on my Prowler has a lot of pearl, sunlight changes the color drastically(lighter)and the cloudy days makes it darker..the color gets tons of positive comments....had it at Woodward last summer, lots of nice remarks about the color choice...I was thinking about painting my black SRT10 this color, but sold it before I had a chance to get it done...

 

[WOT!]

I've been reading this forum for over two years and I rarely post. But I just couldn't let this one pass without adding my .02.

It sounds like no matter what, you are going to change colors.

What a shame.

After white, your green is my other favorite. I'm sure the other owners of green are going to like this...

Just don't do it, PLEASE. I rarely see this green, and that alone is one of the selling features. If rarity is what you want from a color change, then I think you already have it.

If you still have to change the color, go white. Very easy to keep clean, doesn't show the dirt, lots of people seem to love it. BTW, with white, you have to do the blue strips on a gen 1 in my opinion. But then again like everyone else, I'm biased.

 

[PDCjonny]

The problem with white (which I love) is the side sills WILL turn yellow and look BAD.

 

[big-n-italian]

here is what your car would look like if it was painted blue.

blue gen I

 

[MoparMan]

You can't go wrong with black & silver! You'd probably have the only gen I painted in that color combo...

 

[ohiodoc]

nope I have seen black and silver and black is too hot for out here and you would say I copied you cause I love your car so much. So I can't do that.

 

[Sam 01 RT10]

Black is awesome. Black/silver GTS's are ****.

I dunno if I'd go orange, there's someone else painting his car orange, he may say you copied him and ban you.

Search for "brazen serpent", lol.

I like the blue/white stripe idea.

 

[ohiodoc]

No blue and white and not plan black either

 

[Sam 01 RT10]

No blue and white and not plan black either

Then just leave the damn thing alone.

 

[ohiodoc]

Well what is the fun in that, how about orange with dark orange stripes???

 

[Torquemonster]

how about paying $250,000 to some artist to paint a nice dolphin on the hood?

[DAMN YANKEE]

I use this web site for my best ideas.
Their designs are simple, subtle and easy to visualize on my car.

No gheyer than those rims on your S2000.

"Brazen serpent" sounds sort of religious, no? Are you saying he should have this painted on his hood:

You must be registered for see images

 

[Sam 01 RT10]

That, plus the dolphins, would rock.

Only a man of God would be so, brazen.

 

[trainville]

Here's a couple of my ex-'95 green with vinyl silver stripes. If I had kept it, I would have had them painted and clear-coated. Me likey!
