because its a decent looking way to change your paint up. It looks cool too because its a pearl i guess and it looks different at different angles. I can't think of ne other ways to change paint up other than decals or different designs. But for plain paint i thin this looks sweet. If you have some ideas have at er. Anything new that i don't know of is good to know.

you should put 3 white racing stripes on the car and paint it chameleon... now that's different, but i prefer pdiggs color suggestion, ok maybe not the brown..

I'm sure if you walk into a custom paint shop they'd have some samples of what you want. Yeah, I'm not a fan of this chameleon thing that like ten cars around here have, but whatever....

the colour that i want to make it are these two. if neone could do it that would be perfect...... Why dosen't neone like this type of paint job. It looks decent because the colour changes every angle. i dunno plain colours like blue, black, red, white etc are fine. But around here nobody has this type of paint job they all have the plain colours so it would be cool to have something different. newayz thanx for your info.

thats weak... it would be cool if it was more colors.. i think you should paint each body panel a differant chameleon color.. now that would be hot...

When doing that paint scheme you are wanting to do you are going to run into two major problems. The first one being that just for a quart of the chamaleon paint its 500 dollars. Realize that you can't paint your whole car with just a quart especially if you want it done right. The second problem that you run into that is if you do decide to still paint your car with this paint it will run you more near the $3000 dollar area for the paint job. Do to the extra prep work that must be taken as well as time that will be spent on painting the car because it has to be done in a very maticulous manner. Hope this helps in your decision. Either way good luck.

Chris
