Color to paint my cb

[markrutherford]

As you can see from the pic below im in need of a paintjob and finally saved enough for a decent paintjob. I got about 750 bucks to spend. Should i do oem color or a High gloss black finish? And if i posted in the wrong place. Please let me know. Thanks

The silver is nice and all but theres like 3 other cbs around with the same color as mine. Ive always loved the high gloss black look but im in the middle right now

If that's the case black ftw! Do it nice or do it twice, and remember black is a high mantaince color not like silver.

True and not true. I gotta wax my oem color every 2 weeks or i get those nasty water marks on the roof and trunk

Personally, I will never own anything black. Shows swirl marks and water spots way too easy. I say keep it OEM color and save the money for other things. Have your engine bay steam cleaned and that will save you some money on repainting it later on.

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.

Did you not see or read his tread? He needs paint on his car! Or would you rather have a clean engine bay but shit paint?

I have read the th(r)ead. I am also throwing out some supporting ideas for the reason why I said paint it the original color. Repaint the car the original color, steam clean the engine bay, and you are good to go. If you want to do a color change, have the bay and jams painted unless you want the engine bay a specific different color other than the body.

Sounded like you said not to paint his car and just get the engine bay cleaned, he has a friend that will paint his jams.
