Hey guys, I know most everyone here is just into Joe's, but thought some of you might also be into cars...
Oh yeah, my Project car is a 1966 Volvo 122 Amazon 4-door. I got it when I was 7 years old. I'm getting ready to paint my engine bay and dont know what color. I'm not making much in the form of income right now so everything I list, is stuff I already have.... All the colors I list, I already have form other cars I have painted. The car will end up being 2003 Honda Civic blue (I'll post a pic later, not Si blue). It was going to be Nissan 350Z blue but the cost is insane! The main reason I want to get it painted is I would like to mount my motor and make her run again. It's getting a Nissan 240SX KA24DE Twin Cam that came out of my Silvia and someday when I have money it will get a turbo. The blue color I will be using... (my mom's Civic is the on the right... hahaha) What my car looks like.... My dads car he just sold, looks like mine...

Well, I'm building it into a race car, so standing out is not to big of a thing.
But you do have a point... Thanks It's gonna be a rally/drift car.... She might get more banged up...

Yeah, flat black works great. Only thing I'd consider is if you're working on it at night, with a flashlight its freaking dark as hell whereas a lighter color may allow you to see more.
Love the car by the way. Can't wait to see it finished.
