Galaxie500XL Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I'm sure this has probably been asked before.... In fact, I found a thread that mentioned having done that, but the pic link was broken. The black headlight surround used on the miniquads on the Cutlass coupe, anyone ever paint the surround body color? My Cutlass is white. Just wondered if it would look good, or like garbage... Opinions? Edited May 13, 2011 by Galaxie500XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think it looks horrible! Redfox had his painted red to match. To me it looks like when the car was painted they just said "screw it, we're not taking it back apart for paint, just paint over it!".

RobertISaar Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 yeah, i've seen it before as well..... kinda bleh IMO. pretty much any color other than body color looks better there. unless of course, you have a black car, then it works.

Galaxie500XL Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks, guys for the input. Part of where I'm coming from, is I've never really liked white cars...but the Cutlass was so nice, and convertible Cutlasses are so relatively rare in good condition. At least the top is black! I've considered painting it another color, but I've seen few color changes that really look right unless you spend a lot of money painting almost everything...and money is one thing I really don't have to spare...and it's hard to justify spending a lot just for that. I'd like to find a way to inexpensively make the car less plain to my eyes, without making it look like a 20-year-old ricer owns it--but I suspect the best thing would be just to leave it like it is.

RobertISaar Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 some of us are decent with photoshop and could give you a good idea of what it would look like.... i however, am not one of these people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) I'm fairly sure someone either on here or on Cardomain did this. Not sure if I liked it though. I'll dig a bit. Found it http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3242515/1995-pontiac-grand-prix/page-4 I no like. Edited May 15, 2011 by white4d96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxie500XL Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 After seening the pic of the Grand Prix, I don't like it very much, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
