pictures of custom paint jobs
Hi guys, wanted to see you all post pictures of your custom paintjobs. My car is at the paint shop right now and I am having a hard time deciding what color to go with.
Colors I have thought about are Lambo orange metallic, candy apple red, a dark gray metallic, Lambo yellow, or even a flat black.
I wanna see some pics.

The cool thing is that I can see this in person in the future

I like the candy apple red. If you go this route, be sure the undercoat is silver, not gold. Gold will give it a very red color, but not have the 'debth' of the silver.

I was going to do this but I can't part with my nassau blue. If you're interested, it's white pearl from Lexus.
