  • So I'm thinking about painting the maro.

    I thought about a gun metal metallic gray... but i kind of want to keep it the medium patriot red...but i don't know who i could get to mix the paint since it's not made anymore (i think).
    Any suggestions?

    Re: So I'm thinking about painting the maro.

    u can get any paint code made, talk to whome every is going to spray your car and they will get it for you. If your spraying it yourself go to paintscratch.com. I love gray, my gray is a touch different though. My second favorite color is patriot red. Goes really nice with black accents

    do u know the paint code or atleast the years and on what cars that color is from, ill help u find it


    EDIT: my bad, didnt see it at first on paintscratch for 93-96 3.4 but its code is 87/WA5328. Doube check though - u r talking about the factor chevy colors correct?

      Do something different! Red cars are like belly buttons... Definitely do something different.

        Patriot red is seldom seen really IMO, much deeper than your standard red

            That's a great red, but it reminds me of that nearly impossible to blend-in Mustang red from a few years back.

                  Sorry i haven't been on to reply or anything. But yeah, I'll be the one painting it. I haven't done it yet, but i have all the crap to do it with. I've done some research on painting vehicles, and i figured if it doesnt go right for me...sand it back down and then let someone do it. I kinda like that orange, but not sure. I love the patriot red thats on the car, but i kinda want to do something different ya know. USP55 i love the black accents on the color.
