What happened to painting your car pink?
Perhaps Candy pink metal flake,

Bottom line paint it something you dig it's your car,

Paint is last on my list...as soon as I install my Mako front clip I plan to just run my car in that Rat rod satin black for a spell...

I am heading out right now for some fun Florida Convertible cruising....

Hot pink is one of the colours I'm considering. It won't be painted for a couple of years so I have lots of time to decide.

I've only seen it on a couple of cars (on the internet and never in real life), far less common than say any factory colours a Corvette comes in. Ultimately to me it doesn't matter if its common as dirt or as rare as gold I'm doing what appeals to me most regardless.

It's common though when you see cars that have the flip flop paint is all I'm saying thats why I went with that color it's different and I like it more than the others... It's all what a person likes like you've said...
