about to paint my celica this colour - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #32074 12 posts Started by Terzin1
user posted imageI really like this colour. I want to see what the concensus is tho. This is a pic when I first bought the car back in feb. Since then I have put a stock spoiler on it so keep that in mind. I like to be original and I know that not many people have this orange that I can tell. Did this in photoshop, my car is white right now.

thats some pretty good photoshopin... i really like that color, i think that orange is probably the coolest color for a car. The only thing you gotta worry about is how much it stands out...Its asking for both wanted and unwanted attention (cops)...but i guess as long as you dont speed (which i do) then go for it.

Since it is a flashy, bright color, I would consider some different rims...probably Black, which will match your interior too. Even if you painted the stock ones black that would be fine too, then drop it at least 1". Good luck!
I think it's awesome, go for it. But do remember what JFrost said, you will be getting a LOT of attention. I've got a friend that's got an Eclispe that color. His car's not modded at all, but he gets pulled over for some made up reason about once every few weeks.
That is some nice photoshop skills.
An orange colour car would stand out.
Kinda reminds me of the car that got totalled

I don't buy into that whole "flashy color" attracts cops theory. The fact that you drive a fast lookin car and are a teen draws the attention of cops. I dont think color has anythin to do with it and if u wanna paint it orange, then go for it.

I'm not a big fan of bright cars. I like the orange though. I'd mix in some copper flake and make the color a little deeper.
Hehe that PS job fooled me...I thought it was a real picture of paint, LOL. laugh.gif

That's a nice color but like the guys said, you will get LOTS of attention even if your car is stock. Cops like paintjobs like that. tongue.gif

That's why my Celica is staying black...it was born black, it will be repainted jet black...it will die black, damn it. biggrin.gif As it is, it's a head turner...even stock people were like all WOW look at that weird car. wink.gif
