Custom Paintjob..

  Top of Page

Hey guys, the last couple of days ive been thinking of random ideas for paintjobs on cars.. and thought of my own car and ideas i could do..

ive always liked metallic blue, ever since my parents got a Winning Blue Mazda3 i loved that colour, and similar tones.. and i remember seeing a white and metallic blue combination on a car once, 2 tone.. so i thought id have a go in photoshop and see what i could do..
then thought of other styles and combinations.. so i whipped up a few..

but, say i was going to go through with this idea.. what kind of pricing do you reckon id be looking at? $2-6000+ or something?

Here are just some photoshop ideas i came up with..

oh yeah, and i got the inspiration to start all this from some random messing in photoshop, which resulted in this:

ouch@price.. lol.. think itd be a long while before getting anything like that done in this case haha..

yeah, 2 tone isnt for everyone.. and depends how it is done too.. seen some pretty crappy jobs done LoL.. its just all ideas and such! .. but hey..

i just like it cos it tends to be different to alot out there.. i dont think id do the blue and grey 2 tone in the last pic i posted haha.. cos i may aswell just get a 2/3gen outback LoL.. (the silver bumpers and coloured body thing)

imo two tones dont work all that well on new cars. you need a 50's, 60's car etc for it to look good.

and can you post pictures that arent on an angle? got a damn crick in the neck from lookin at em.

For those jobs you'd easily be looking at over 6-8k. The biggest killer is the labour. that would take at least a day in the booth, more for a painter who doesnt move like a puma.

IMVHO, leave the two tone paint jobs to Autosalon. But i dont mind the Blue idea, the factory blue gen4's i've seen look kind of sh1tfull.

Also there are other options to go along with the color choice, Mica, Metalic, 3 layer pearls.
None of which stick out like goat balls either. Infact New mazda's come out with either Mica or three layer pearl paint jobs from the factory (Look for some red/blue/black mazda 3's and 6's)

for a colour change in and out excluding engine bay only , this includes top of the gaurds in engine bay under the bonnet inside boot lid and also in and out of doors, ur looking at $3500 NON CANDY PAINT...

then for a 2 tone with a graphic breaking it up your looking around $6000.. this includes flocoat so there is no edge between colours.

if you are more interested let me know and i can help you out
