Finally the other 240 is painted, but I kinda think it looks too rice, on the other hand I want to say it's just Flashy but Idn ??

I'm thinking It should just have been painted White Pear, Suttle and Clean.

Let me know what you guys think I like getting feedback, and if it looks too rice for your tast please don't be to harsh on me Thanks Fellas, Galls

I think it looks good. Personally I would have went with White Pearl but I'm partial to that color.

It is on the ricey side, it would look alot less ricey if it was just two-tone instead of three. Maybe a black on silver/white. Straight up Pearl white would look amazing on that car and give it lots of presence.

that black stripe in the middle kinda kills it IMHO, a two tone would be nice if it was divided at the top of the sideskirts and went all around.

I was going to say it does look a bit ricey. but after looking at it for a while. its not that bad at all.

i think it would look better if it was painted the bottom color all the way. Or pearl white like you said.

All mechanical things equal, I'd take the Silver Moss S14. The other one looks like it's trying to hard. The strip seems awkward and the colors don't go well together.

Not bad. I think i would have gone with maybe just red on top silver on the bottom. Or just all silver.

Yea I know But JGY no one hardly answers my "Q"

Thanks for the comments fellas. The bottom color is a silver from House of Colors. I'm not sure of the code but if you want it I could brobly get it for you.

I think that spending all that money on the 3 colors was a wast of money. Maybe later on when it faids or gets bad we will redo the car to a 2ton or just solid Silver or white Pearl for a more sleaker look.

Thanks again for your input.

It's not bad but I think 3 colors is throwing it off a bit. Black top with the silver or red top with black would have been a much cleaner look.

Pearl white is always a plus

Would look better if the stripe lined up with the rear tail lights(it's not flush on the bottom..or doesn't look flush) and came together to a point on the front fender IMO.

Well... I, personally, love it. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to have my car painted like that, if you hadn't already done it anyways... The term "ricey" is way over-used anymore... The point of modifying a car is to get it the way you want it. People try to refer to ricey as anything that changes a car with no actual benefit... If that's the case, lowriders are ricey. People do things to their car because they like it. A car defines a person's taste, so if you have the same pearl white as every other person out there, it makes you look like a follower, so imho NICE JOB!!

honestly, what makes your paint job any worse than the over fenders??
