My car came off the showroom floor painted brown...icky, sticky, doo-doo brown. the vinyl roof is tan - can't really choose a nice color to paint with a tan vinyl top. Can you dye a vinyl top? If not, anyone got any experience matching colors to tan? I kinda wanna paint it like dark blue with some purple flake...it's a bonneville...lemme know

man just about anything can go ggood with a tan vinyl top. see cars all day long in any combination with a tan top.... its almost the same as using black or grey, it just matches.... especially if the interior is tan.

sweeet - thanx for the encouragement! I'm on my way to Fact-O-Bake right now...LOL

just kidding - anyone know any quality (see - inexpensive) paint shops in Jacksonville Fl area?

for real, rick is right. Almost anything goes with tan, esspecially nice with a chapagne gold color

Y'know, I didn't even think about going with a champagne color - I could save some $$$ and not have the jams painted and stuff - the brown that is now is like a dark champagne metallic brown color (just oxidized and faded) so I might could get away with it. Should I go with some metal flake? Pearl? I don't really know jack squat about paint, so I'm fishing for ideas

BTW, I'm rollin on chrome 13" 100 spoke k/o

a deep green would look good with a tan color

tattoolow · 09-28-2002, 07:28 PM

I've actually been debating a dark candy blue or a tangerine (sp) orange metallic...
