Fiero paint ideas

crzyone · Post by **crzyone** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 1:49 am

I've been pondering how to paint my fiero after the motor is installed. I really like the muscle car look of candy apple red with a black hood and trunk.

If someone is good at photoshop, could you make my hood, deck and roof black?

I would like the top of the car to be black, kind of like this NSX.

Any other paint ideas for my car are welcome. I think a nice 350z blue with a black roof would look pretty sweet as well.

Another example of a red car with a black top.

Thanks to any photoshoppers!

I would ask the advice of Steve Kelly on this one, he could give you some mean ass paint ideas. Oh yes

Blue WRX's and RSX's with black hoods look pretty cool.

I've kind of been musing about a deep metallic blue with blue hood and either black or white roof.

I like sports car rather than muscle car looks...

I'm gonna go red with the trim black and the black roof a'la 1FST2M6. That's my favorite look on a Fiero.

these are two color schemes i've been contemplating for my car

Thanks man, this is exactly what I had in mind. I will also ditch the wing, I like the wingless look.

I like 2 tone colors, having the whole top isn' really a muscle car look. I just think it looks cool.

Hmm, never been a fan of the wraparound look. Makes it look way to 80s heh.

I have also contemplated a nice dark blue like the new eclipse with a black hood, roof and deck without a wing. I would also tint the tail lights, and I've already tinted the 1/4s.

I think it'll look pretty cool, or atleast different.

Just go all black. Michael Jackson and I agree, black is best.

In other words, I'm not one for that sort of two tone. Just my personal taste.

That's what I'm planning on doing for my car. I've been killing myself over the choice of gunmetal or white on black but I just cant get over how good Fieros look in two tone. I may do two tone white over gunmetal. Close enough to that look.

Oh and by the way Kohburn.. When I was at the Coast Run I saw pokeyfiero had the right half of his car done up with the red on black scheme you have photoshopped above. It looks reaaalllllyyy good on an aero notchback. I say go for it!

Kohburn · Post by **Kohburn** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 7:40 am

you could also do a combination of gunmetal and black

I've photoshopped that before and it doesnt look quite right. Not enough contrast.
Black and silver look good though. You could paint the car using the GT ground effects paint code to get a darker silver and still say is a stock color. This was my original plan when I wanted to go all gunmetal or dark silver.

My vote goes white on top of gunmetal WITH NO STRIPE. Ugg, something about that stripe makes me want to get drunk so I'll forget ever seeing it...But I like the white on gunmetal, try it with some gunmetal 5-spokes and I think it'd look hot.
