So I'm getting the Daewoo painted and I have some ideas for paint.

  1. Matte white all over.
  2. Matte white except for the hood/trunk/roof which would be matte black.
  3. Matte mint.
  4. Matte mint with the black hood/trunk/roof.

Here are the inspirations.

And yes, I realize the Magnum is unspeakably vulgar, but I think that's the wheels.

Here's a picture of the Daewoo as it sits now.

I'm thinking pink. Like girly carnation pink.

I say Hemi orange with a Confederate flag on the roof and big 01s on the doors.

And the horn that plays Dixie, of course.

I cannot see matte white being at all easy to keep clean so I'd vote for anything else.

I REALLY like the matte white w/ matte black. You have to promise to post photos if you do it. I'm not sure if the A and C pillars should be black or white though.

I like the matte green/mint on the Corolla. Do that.

A Daewoo? Trust me. It doesn't matter. Nobody will notice anyway. But if you must, another vote for pink. Or maybe fuchsia. Yeah. Fuchsia. It even sounds like a Daewoo color.

Do something a bit different. Go with purple body/black hood and call it the Bruiser.

Kind of a gay pride theme?

Not so much a gay pride theme, more of a "I just kicked your ass in a pink Daewoo that a bunch of kids built" theme.

Of course. Sort of the car equivalent of this.

Uhh ohh, I don't think that pic will last long here....

I vote for a flat mint/black combo (even though that orange Miata speaks to me a lot).

And prstbrc, Mr BM is in Korea where it's ok to drive a Daewoo. :D

That miata seriously looks tasty enough to lick. Enough beers, and i'd probably attempt it.
