Colours for Zooks

Post by mrRocky »

ive had red ones, green, silver, white and now gold. Gold is the worst. Paint is good just finished it today, even looking at it makes me want to vomit. I will be repainting it for the second time in a week and a half
but... what colour looks good. Thinking of doing it original white.
Ideas... pics...

Metallic cherry red ... drool. But two pack is beyond me.

I reckon if I ever spray mine I'll go hammertone blue. Saw one on here once waaaaay back, never been able to find the thread since, and it looked great (from a distance anyway). Nice and easy to fix if ya ding it too ;)

Seems a shame to go back to original white though if you're going to the trouble of painting it.

This my old Suzuki I painted it well Orange as you can see.... I picked it out off some paint cards at AutObarn payed $48 dollars or something for 4L and took it home primed it all the usual prepping and got too it. I also had the stainless steel kicker guards made up after too just under the door.

Mines black and looks pretty good, can't go wrong with black. I wouldn't paint it white though. I rather like grey like on Grimbos old rig, kinda millitary look without the wank factor of camo.

SILVER.

I wasn't too sure when I first got it, but it has grown on me... It's very easy to look after, and it hides the dints well! :D

Did you find the same thing with your old silver one mrRocky?

Cheers,

*Everyone to themselves and I don't really car what anyone paints anything.. but this is an opinion thread, so here's mine*

IMHO flat, satin and "organic" colours look the best on suzukis - some of the original 1.0 colours are brilliant.

Personally, bright, shiny, metallic etc colours are kinda like polishing a turd. Plus, spending $$ on paint on a car that goes offroad is silly - it'll be trashed too quick.

Camo is really really hard to make look good. As much as I love camo (and I LLLUUURRRRV camo :oops:) I still think lots of camo used on recreational cars looks wrong.

Camo should not have sharp edges they have to fade into each other.That way it's not so easy to find and they do look crap on the road :lol: but in the bush mine works real well. Also in the dunes but on the road it stands out like a sore thumb :D

Yeah that was the good thing with AutObarn guys they can put your colour in a pressure pack when I had my paint mixed up they got me two pressure pack cans done as well.
