I am seriously considering painting MY01 New Formula Red. i am leaning towards Flat Black, with gold rims. If anyone out there has some spare time could you photoshop a S flat black with gold rims for me? thanks.

has anyone ever seen a flat black S2000, and what opinions do you have about this color choice?

 

painting whole car is pain in the ass...
not too many places can do it right anyway, specially when you change color.

it's impossible to paint whole engine compartment without taking out the engine.

just be happy with the color you have now.
i personally think red s2000 is HOT.

 

reds2000 is hot, however, I really like the look of a flat black car.

did you by any chance see the ImportRacer STI? they took off most of the STI bits, scuffed up the paint, and used Krylon spray paint. it was very hot, but I would like to see it on an S.

 

I would like a photo shop job as well.

I have a photo with an S2000 with the mugen hardtop installed.

I want the car colour to be changed into the monte carlo blue colour and see what it looks like with the carbon fiber hardtop on top.

Anyone that can help me as well?

 

that was sport compact car, not import racer.......and unless you got in a accident i wouldnt bother tearing off fresh factory paint.......flat black is like a ghetto attempt to look like you are rockin dry carbon body panels

 

Flat black will look like Shi...aaat IMO. I understand the look your going for but I think the finished result will look "unfinished". Like it's primered ready to be painted.

Hell you could save yourself a lot of money by sanding off all your paint and spraying it yourself with flat black.......so why pay money for someone else to do it?

 

Why don't you just get an APC triple GT-wing and washer nozzles instead?

 

Sometimes that looks good, but most of the time, the car looks primered. I guess being in the south you see it more than up north, but primered cars look like a half finished project (tons of civics with primered body kits). Painting the whole car might be ok, but to keep the finish even is going to be a nightmare.

I have a 2002 Honda 919 that came with the Asphalt color from the factory which is a flat black. I love the bike especially for the color. Looks stealthy, but I wouldn't dream of putting the same paint on anything bigger than motorcycle parts. None of the paint is as flat as it use to be and it's getting slightly shiny. Now, it's still plenty flat, but I would think that on a large surface area like the hood, there would be splotches of shiny with areas of no shiny around it.

 

I don't like the look on old-school street rods and I definitely would want to see it on an S.

It looks like they quit half way thru the paint process and said "screw it, just leave it primered". On the other hand you wouldn't have to wax it!!!

I know you weren't looking for opinions, just a Photochop.....but we couldn't help but comment.

Good luck in your quest.

For one thing, your car would LOOK a lot slower than it is. When aircraft want to go faster, they get glossied up, less wind drag. NOw, I know a nice waxed and polished car isn't going to go faster, but it will look faster. I also agree that it's going to look like you just had extenssive body work done but were too impatient to wait for the car to get painted.
