| What color should I paint. | 
Yeah, missing hubcaps :o |
reason being, the black (as you can see in the 2nd picture), makes it look higher than it really is.
I took these pics with my cell, the car really isn't as dark as it looks.
I was wondering if some of y'all could change the black to..yellow, green, purple, anything.
Thank you.

| thing is, it's hard to change black to any other color because all the details are lost when taking a picture of somethign black. you can't see any curves or anything. once you change the color it looks totally unrealistic.
at least that's my experience.

You can very well take photos of something black by exposing for it. However everything else will be a little overexposed but that doesn't matter because we are only worried about the black part.
However with a camera phone I doubt it will let you meter for the black part. You need a real camera to do that.

See how it works out, though it will have to wait.

Blue Island, IL | seen a few with solid colors around here and the Chevy Rally style stripes going front to back over the hood that look nice. The original color will probably make it a little more desirable when you go to sell it even if it had an engine change. | |

@adelphia.net | Have you considered metallic blue for the main color and a silver or metallic grey for the lower? | |
