It's amazing what your dad can do with a spray can whule your in the bathroom for 2 minutes....

Did he at least wet sand it ???

that don't look half bad

Oh, it's a sick color, it's just from a Lowes spray can!

I've narrowed it down on colors, it's either gonna be black, Dark Grey, or Orange. If I go Signal Orange (to match my Dad's) he'll give me a 2.0liter Six instead of the 2 I have now.

Well then for YOU, Orange is faster.

Silly rabbit, everyone knows yellow is faster.

I make a big mistake and sprayed my fenders with some odd colored touch up paint. When I sprayed over it with real primer, it reacted and turned into wrinkles. I ended up spending a fair amount of time sanding it all off.

Roy G. Biv would disagree.

And he didn't even paint the tire!
I'd go with the free motor color.

I dunno, I kinda like the blue...

I like blue as well

wet sand that color with some 320, take a rattle can of clear and sray it over the blue. Let it dry for a couple of day's and wet sand the clear with 1000grit and then buff. ( just for $hits and gigles)

You'd be supprised how it will look.

There's a guy somewhere on the internets who painted a Corvair with Rustoleum and a roller, and it looks pretty awesome.

The Epic Rustoleum thread.
(Dodge Charger, and a VW Bug from the OP, lots of other guys who tried it later.)

The thread is LONG.

+1 for the free motor color. You can always repaint it again later.

That brings me to my, "Newbie Question of the Day"...

Would you rather have a car with more power? Or a car where you chose the color?

My .02, motor first, color last

More power. That's how I chose my 911.

It just so happens that I like the color too. Even though it isn't orange.
