To paint or not to paint...

mynameisdaniel · 26-04-2010, 03:19 PM

Not sure which I prefer, I'm going for painted atm, let me know what you think

painted (yes it is just silver tape)

unpainted

Cheers

I prefer it painted as it looks more like it belongs there. Unpainted draws more attention to it but only because it looks like it has been tacked on or replaced from another car.

marcs_sp20 · 26-04-2010, 03:50 PM

definitely painted

NaughtyGT · 26-04-2010, 04:15 PM

agree with rusty. In the unpainted pics it looks dodgy. The black is OK but maybe if you like the black, paint it black & it may look a bi more like it belongs there? my 2 cents

Cosmo Dude · 26-04-2010, 04:56 PM

If your car wasn't silver I'd suggest painting but in a colour that highlights or contrasts the main colour. The only thing I can think ATM is bronze but that'd look odd.

Can I Have the GTS in the garage?

mynameisdaniel · 26-04-2010, 05:22 PM

The more I look at it the more I'm going for silver. A complimenting colour would look alright if i had matching rims or something to go with it.

haha u wish Marc

It's a work in progress
