Color to paint my cb

[Bacon]

Never mentioned anything about not painting the car. Painting the car is fine. I am also looking at it from different aspects. If he'd like to paint the car OEM and keep the entire car that color, he could do that as well as steam clean the engine bay to bring its color back out a little to have his car all the same color and be cleaned up at the same time.

Rain drops + sun = water marks dosent matter what color you have. Run your hand on a black car then run your hand on a silver car then see which one looks worst.

x2 , especially in new england . Black is so tough to keep clean , and beleive me Ive been driving a black cb in massachusetts for almost 5 years lol . If you do decide to paint the car black save up the cash and have it done right , black will show everything in the sun

black and white are exactly the same for keeping them clean lol. i spray bombed my car white (gona get it redone professionally) and i have to wash it every few days lol. only thing thats different is the fact that its easier to see the imperfections on black.

That seattle silver is a sweet color, if not that charcoal granite metallic would be my 2nd choice.

Just paint it oem. Looks way better anyways. Just do the panels needed and blend the paint. Or if you can get it done at maaco like you said or know a friend with a paint gun, get it done cheap. Then use money left over for other mods

white with black moldings

I would go with oem .but it,s your choice your car

OEM will be easiest. Black is hard to make look good. I painted my 79 f250 black and i had many, many hours of breathing in sanding dust just to get it to look acceptable. besides, prepping/painting the door jambs is not any fun yourself and its not cheap if someone else does it.

I know i had a white cb for three years , and i currently drive the same exact cb as he has now for a daily , Id say his current color would be a hell of alot easier to mainttain from my experience with almost every cb color , ive owned about 6 of the cb colors

rosewood brown ftw my favorite color ever

[benjerman112]

The SE had its moldings painted to match, so it wont hurt.

Ive always wondered why they are? But does anyone have a picture of a seattle cb with painted moldings
