I'm found of white, which is what mine will be repainted with maroon stripes. A dark grey would look pretty good with tint.. anything dark would look good with tint and rims.

ok i just had an idea last night for my car, the paint that was on dads 50 ford was ford tractor grey, yes tractor paint and no clear and it looked pretty good, i was looking at what tractor supply had, and the have one called, massey ferguson grey, its just a hair lighter than what im wanting, atleast from the can color display, its like 30 bucks for a gallon, i think ima do that. wat ya think?


heres what im talkin bout, its just a hair ligher than gunmetal that im lookin at but i think it will still work

Warlocke,
somewere here I thought I saw the link to mopars rustleum painting thread...can't find it. Anyways I haven't done it myself but I have used the brightside (an alternate to rustoleum) paint in the thread on a pc case and the results were very nice and very easy to use.

thread link

that should take you right to the brightside section in the thread, Ive never tried rustoleum as its not avaliable in aussie.

i posted a thing on using rustelom or however its spelt lol the post is titles $50 paint job, i seen it on another forum and i would be willing to try it however rusteloum is expensive in my neck of the woods lol, the paint im refrencing is made for tractors, my dad had the same stuff on his car, and some on the del ray, its real durable, we went up and down gravel roads about 6-8 times or more and the "scratch" marks, washed right off, rusteloum isnt a bad thing to try either.



i am wanting to paint the trim like wats on the middle of the door, a black color, should i paint the bumpers black as well if i do that or should i just do it all one color?

Well it is going to look strange with anything grey and blue. But if you do a two tone job, blue on top grey on bottom won't look to bad. I'm going to repaint a bumper here if I get a little time with duplicolor and some clear. My side markers I painted don't look to bad paint wise with this method but I should of sanded them alot better before I painted. Just take your time a couple coats- wetsand - couple more - wetsand - one more - then clear - wetsand - and then more clear and buff. Won't be a high dollar finish but better than the alternative.

Never mind read it wrong. If you paint the stripes and a similiar stripe around the bumpers it wouldn't look to bad... but not the whole bumper.
