Thread: Next big paint trend???

Tweet

Solid colors and two tones. Also starting to see more gold and silver metallic. IMO custom cars still deserve custom colors---I still like huge metalflake, candy colors. Seems the import kids are still into the "hey, look at me" neon colors. I have such a lousy eye for color combinations, I usually go with other's advice.

I do hope the artsy stuff from the seventies comes back, it was a real opportunity for the pro's like Jay to showcase their artistic talent!

I'm still into sedate and subtle on cruizers and wild and crazy on go fast stuff!!!!!!

Dave, Thanks for the kind words. I also think "go fast stuff" needs paint that matches the cars personality. That same thinking really fits all rods and customs, whether you want them to look sinister... exotic & dreamy... classic... or any other "look" you want.
