I'd say Satin Lime Green just because I haven't seen anything that crazy.... I think the Satin Red would look amazing....

WickedVetteLT4 02-22-2013 11:34 AM

I've seen the satin red on a new CTS-V with the wheels and lights done black and smoked and it looks really good. Saw a baby blue plastidipped Vette with black wheels and it looks killer too. Never seen lime green or orange. But... I think Satin white would honestly look best for being a practical color. I'm riding that borderline or going wild with it or doing something that won't have every cop in the area staring at me... More than they already do. Lol

Approx cost is $300 and it'll last as long as I leave it on the car from what I'm told. When I'm over it, peel it all off.

The brown is def different and looks good but its one of those colors I know I'd never use on my own car. Lol

Do it lime green ya

WickedVetteLT4 02-22-2013 12:54 PM

Would any of y'all voting for lime green be willing to do your own car that way? Or is it like me with the Brown? Like the color and it looks cool but only on someone else's car! Lol

I should have started a poll but clearly like green is in first place

bdanyluk 02-22-2013 01:00 PM

I will gladly volunteer my car for it as long as someone else pays for it. I live in south Atlanta, GA.

jwaldro2 02-22-2013 01:37 PM

Me too id do it lime green in a damn heart beat and leave it. Can you say neckbreaker??

Farmdawg 02-22-2013 01:54 PM

:worthlessnopics:

I've got to see this.

:lurk:

WickedVetteLT4 02-22-2013 03:05 PM

Lol! I know. Like green would look killer. I think the attention would be cool for a little while and then I'd be over it and just want a nice clean simple color again... Like satin white. Lol

your car looks sick as is, so I personally wouldn't mess with it. But if you do, hands down matte white would look custom without looking gaudy or ricer. Matte black is played out and besides your car is already black right?

I have seen lambo green on a C6 and Lambo orange(you can do a search for jclarkpimp to see green and gerrado of DS Vettes has the orange one)and IMHO it doesn't look the greatest. The only green Z06 that looks good is the one done in Viper green(and that only looks good because of the house of colors paint quality) and the fact that there is so much clear on the car.

I have used plastic dip allot and the glossifier doesn't work that well(no where near the shine of real clear coat). So honestly go with white. the satin green or orange or even red will just look like a bad primer job before the clear is sprayed. Heck the White M3 on the dipyour car looks sick. Also check out the balloon white color on the Lambo's, it's one of my favorite and I hate white.

Plus the fact you could leave your headlights black, your mirrors black, your hallo/roof black, that would sick on matte white.

The viper green Vette is the whole reason why I even thought lime green might look good on the car. But you're right, that is a super deep and glossy paint job on the viper green Vette. The plastidip surely won't turn out as nice or near as glossy. Still might look good but I'm pretty picky so it probably won't be glossy/clean enough for my taste. Satin white does look sick on that M3 and personally, the only two colors I feel never look bad in matte or gloss are white and black. The rest do look kind of primer like. And like u said, my car is black so white is my best choice. I think the lime green would be an awesome color to try but I honestly think the matte/satin white is much more my style and the look I'm going for. And the black accents will definitely look best with the white. :rock:

I'd say I agree with going with the satin white, but this pic of satin orange would tempt me. I'm thinking of doing my wheels this color just for a change of pace.

WickedVetteLT4 02-22-2013 07:11 PM

Oh yeah... It's tempting for sure! I love the wild colors and I honestly would love it but I know it wouldn't be long before I got tired of the screaming exotic color and wanted something more subtle again. Lime green and neon orange would both be attention whores. Lol

ProfessorDeath 02-22-2013 08:11 PM

Lime green for sure would get attention, but if you wanted all that attention, why'd you go with black originally?

WickedVetteLT4 02-22-2013 08:12 PM

Lol! I love black! The only color I would have picked over black is white of the factory options.
