Just curious if anyone has pics of a painted xfire with a different color roof.

I saw a grey mercedes with a black roof the other day and it looked pretty sweet. I have a black xfire and was just curious what it would look like with a silver roof, or grey.

Not necessarily saying I love the idea on our cars, but just curious if anyone out there has pics of one like that.

 

Check the gallery I'm sure there's a couple in there that look really nice both are coupes
or do a search on paint.

 

You could have just PM'd me or check out my gallery at any time.


There is more in the gallery if you want to check out more pictures My Car & info - CrossfireForum.org Gallery

 

If you squint it looks like a convertible.. lol. its a nice paint job I was parked next to him at Carlisle.

 

Cool- looks very racey!!!

 

Ok... now you just got everyone who reads this to squint at the computer screen Haha!

 

check my gallery

 

I don't see any 2-tone painted xfires in your gallery...?

 

"Helm" has a nice white coupe with black roof.

 

Oops I must have hosted thoes pics somewhere else. I painted my roof black a couple years ago. I'll try to get some good pics.
To me the most important part of painting the roof black is to sand and polish it to a mirror finish. This will complete the illusion and make the roof look panoramic.

 

Beaner,
If only there was some silver molding to make a border between the colors and match the winshield molding. What a great job following the curve of the back window. Maybe some kind of fade or checker pattern to blend the colors. Looks good but I think it doesn't look finished without some kind of border, molding, etc. Love your wheels as well!!

Even a pin strip would help the transition.

 

Here are some rough ideas/paterns of other two tone paint jobs if you want to go that route. Sorry Gary and Beaner for using your cars as subjects..

 

i agree, i think a pinstripe would look nice too

 

I was thinking of a pin stripe when I had it painted but I was not too sure if I was going to keep the silver on the handles and things so I left it. The body shop that painted my car mentioned that a small stripe like that would look odd in that one little spot at the rear of the car. If I was to go with a stripe I would have to lower the "black" to just below the windows and then the stripe would travel the length of the car and then it would look much better. You got to think of the overall cost too. What I had painted was cheap. if I was to bring the "black" a little lower and then I would have to paint the top of the fenders. Soo much more labour and would double the cost or more. trust me I asked.

Now that's unique^^....minus the stripes then we can deal.

 

Please post more of this extremely unique paint job... Is this your car?

 

Hmmm...as long as your happy with it then you get my thumbs up.

 

i saw an srt6 a while back that was black with a carbon fiber scheme running down the center of the hood,roof and down to the spoiler. that looked pretty nice.
