That Talon was in a issue of Import Tuner a while back. Oh my gawd, it's soooo hot.
 
I agree it's played out a bit to much, but that color scheme is awesome! I'm not a big fan of the 2gb, 2ga all the way!
 
I like the 2ga...My buddy actually has a gallon of that color paint, and said he's paint my car for free. I was like helll no, on a 1g..Then I thought about painting the avenger that too, but no..

At least put some black on it somewhere..
 
haha.........no. id rather not spraybomb my car.. thanks anyway.........if he paints cars with spray bombs, that does not say too much about his skills

ouch easy buddy im not the one with a ugly a$$ car he actually went to school for painting cars and if he had money for his own shop he would be decent. But if I was stuck with that ugly thing i shoot it with a paintball gun just to change the color
 
Wow hating the green. I honestly wouldn't paint any of my 2g's that color but i really don't think it looks as bad as people are saying. Put some black on it just as you've been hearing i'd do top black like the talons, someone said it I just can't remember who said it:D

Depends on the brand of the paintball...I prefer Draxxus for all my car painting needs. :thumb:

The wheels on GVR4s were painted to match the bodies, and the Nile black ones, at least, had a polished lip.


I forgot about an edition of Lasers that came out where this was their stock setup. I've only seen them on these Dark Green ones with gold wheels like this. These are what you do have. I wonder if your car was originally this green...


This is called the gold package, just incase people were wondering.

I've seen a white one, and also, My color green FTW.

well, you said that he paints cars with spray cans, right? well, my only question is what school did he go to? lincoln tech????????????????????????????????? and second, if he had his own shop he would be decent?? what, with spray bombs. let him paint yours for you and then post pics and we'll take a poll on it :tease:
 
Well today I mixed up all of my paint that I inherited and I made a couple colors that caught my eye.
The metallic black is for the top half of the car.
HEre it is:

I'd go with the silver color. And then throw some black paint on the wheels as well.
I'd personally shoot for a darker grey instead of silver but I think that is the best looking combo out of all your options.
 
well i decided to go black on silver
here is a pic of the car im repriming the car once i get some of the dings fixed other than those dings and left over fiberglass from the ricey bodykit they car is clean
