I am looking for some paint input! My paint is absolutely roasted by the AZ sunshine (that's the trade-off for having a rust free frame)!
I've tried to do wet sanding, cutting/ buffing, respraying clear, it has all turned out better than when I bought it but not to a point that I am pleased with my exterior appearance.
Next, I will do some prep work of filling the little door dings and stuff to give the new paint a good finish. I am just undecided on color. I will not be going as deep as door jambs ect but I will do all exterior surfaces.
The input I'd like is for paint color. I am thinking I will not do OEM because that paint is way too expensive, but I could find a similar green to this color. The drawback that I have there is that I don't love this green color, I'm more of a white/black/gray/silver kind of guy. But at the same time, I don't love vehicles with mismatched door jambs. What a pickle.
GIVE ME YOUR INPUT ON COLOR!
Close match to OEM green - gloss
Olive drab/army green - satin/matte
Similar to Cement gray - gloss
Black - satin
Any other suggestions or ideas that wouldn't make the door jambs stick out like yellow door jambs on a black painted car?
PS - a wrap is a potential in the future, but I'm just focused on painting at this time. Trying to not need to wrap.
