i just recently brought an 88'cougar and i was thinking of getting
it painted.the car is dark blue,as same with inside,but i want a
diffrent color.what would go with my interior...
2 Tone it find something to go with your stock color.
My idea is anything you can live with and be happy to drive.
If you have a nice dark blue interior, you can't go wrong with a white body color! I've got it repainted a bright white with blue interior and it sets it off BEAUTIFULLY! Just my :2c:
i was thinking of a gray or silver,but i think that that inside is too
dark,maybe white may be fine.it was work car when i first got it,and now i keep looking at it
and now it's turning into project...
You can always browse the Internet and look at other makes and models for paint names and hues then all you need is the paint code from that car.
Other ideas:
Gloss yellow
Bright gloss white
Metallic sand/beige type color
Metallic gold (careful selection here could look nice)
Some sort of metallic silver
Original '88 Cougar Twilight Blue Metallic
that's what started the wheels to turn,finding this site and seeing
the different cougars.i notice that this could be worth the time. i'm
thinking of a nice pearl white,or a medium silver.thanks...
try and check out the pearl from lexus i saw it on a new is250! it was a white pearl i believe the lady said it was glacier frost! check it out at lexus its the best pearl white ive ever seen
sounds good,i think that i might stick with that color,i would like to get a new front nose clip
mines is crack as with the lens of the park light on passener side.the car is in the shop now
the part that holds the oil filter somehow was rusted,and shop that had fixed it didn't do a
good job.the filter does not sit flush and oil leaks out.at least he agreed to see if that was
the problem and repair it.
I agree with the pearl idea. I was thinking about doing that with my car as I too have a blue interior. I really like my bright appliance white though.
Hey 5.0willgo you could name your car "the fridge" lol j/k :rollin:
lol.:rollin:
The possiblilities are endless.
the can opener
the dryer
the washer
the blender
the coffee maker
the toaster
the microwave
the Foreman Grill!
I agree. I like the pearl white colors as well, but the pearl seems to often be achieved with a sort of golden micro flake which goes with tan and other interior colors which is why I suggested the bright gloss white.
However, if the paint shop can use some sort of very very light blue flake to achieve the pearl affect, or something similar, that particular hue of pearl white would go very nicely with your blue interior.
Does that make sense? A lot of the pearl whites out there seem to have a sort of "almond" pearl type of look, like a "classic white" of sorts (at least they look that way to me). If the pearl effect can still be achieved with like an extremely slight hint of "ice blue" pearl or something, that would look bad ass.
hey im having the same problem ..... the interior on my car is dark blue .... my car is primed but dunno what color to paint it .... i was thinking of going hunter green to black or from viper blue to black .... im not sure what i want
yeah the pearl can be changed, my boss painted his cutlass pearl white with red flake in looks awesome.
