To paint or not to paint?

So after getting a new tranny in my svx and a good washing, I thought to myself, now may be a good time to get those 2 door dings on each side removed and repainted.

What do you guys think? Poll incoming.

Crap I forgot a color, the dark purple that looks almost black.

The stock color for the 92? Claret? or are you thinking of a different color all together?

Well... if you're prepared to do a GOOD job on a colorchange, and disassemble the whole car pretty significantly, go for it! I like seeing SVXs in non stock colors, as long as it isn't garish. Edit: I think a BRONZE/GOLD SVX with black wheels would be pretty hot, if done right.

Earl, I do like the claret color, but I'm willing to try something fresh.

like Dayle's pewter/gunmetal, black, or dark purple that looks almost black.

oh yeah...here's dedication: i decided to wash my car today for the hell of it. pulled up to one of those coin-to-use pressure washer type car-wash booths...just my luck, it started to rain heavily..i just carried on getting soaked and having a blast scrubbing the wheels.

stopped 25 minutes later and I dried off the car and applied teh wax and reversed her for a supervac.

after i sprayed down teh windows with that nice pressurized nonstreaky window cleaner, i went for a good 50 mile drive around atlanta.

had lots of fun.

tomorrow will be leather conditioning day and armor-alling the plastics, then rainX. she looks brand new now.
