I need ur opinion

I am restoring a 37 Plymouth coupe and im thinking about painting the firewall and everything that the hood sets on when closed plum crazy purple and rest of car midnight blue. do u guys think that will be cool or no?

 

The real question is "Do YOU think it would be cool?"

 

Ya godda do what you like but it sounds plum crazy to me

 

Exactly

Everything I own I think is cool, but most people dont understand it.

 

if it were me i would just paint the entire car purple, but once again that's just me!

 

Paint it the same as the car. That way if you decide to remove the side panels it will look correct and not cobbled together. This was my 38 plymouth that the new owner painted. See how it looks all one color...FYI his firewall is polished stainless.

 

typical MOPAR guy!

can't spell and just HAS to have Plum Crazy somewhere on his car

 

I discovered that MOPAR stands for - MOst Parts Are Really EXPENSIVE!!!

 

I think its going to look bad *** but was just seeing what other peole thought.

 

Well then, do it up. It's not like you are doing something that can't be redone.


I can kinda picture it, and while it might not be tradtional .... it might be cool. you might need to darken the plum a bit, not sure if it will jump out too much.

 

Since you asked for opinions , I'd say HELL NO on the plum crazy under the hood . IMHO , it will end up looking like you repainted a plum crazy-colored car to a midnight blue & decided to "cheap out" and not do under the hood . I think if you want it a different color under the hood , and maybe painted it white under the hood , it would look more intentional and would look stunning against the dark blue exterior .

 

Do what you like, It's all yours to enjoy.

 

x2 Buddy......

 

Purple and midnight blue's not my cup of tea but it'll work.

 

If you really cared what anybody else thought you would'nt drive a mopar. I have a '47 windsor 7 p***. sedan. Did'nt want to be one of six sister cars at a show. Have at it.

 

no. not cool

 

if you like it then rock it, i would go with maybe a lighter shade of purple with a midnight blue, not to light just enough to make it pop a little..

 

Purple or blue exterior with white under the hood might be cool.

To me, your idea is no different than a red car with an orange firewall or a green car with a yellow firewall. A little too creative in my opinion...

Very personal idea and if you like it, go for it. But be prepared for potential WTF questions and diminished resale value.

You asked!

 

No. Ur welcome.

 

You only have to satisfy one person and you know who that is !!!! YOU !!!!

 

Thanks everyone for ur opinion.

 

I nevrrrr had a problem with spelling when I owned a MOPAR, but u have to 'member, I am plum crazy so if I own one I have plum crazy in the car.

And no absolutely not, plum crazy unde the hood is going to look lame as hell with a midnite blue shell. What color r u painting the engine?

 

Well iam going to give ya my $.02 before the meds kick in .......I REALLY THINK IT WOULD STINK ,
Your car do what ya want & take the beatin like a man .....a MOPAR man.
B.B.

 

I think it would look great as long as the 2 colors are of similar hues. I would guess you give 2 ****s about resale value as you're doing it for you so that's a moot point. Maybe add a pinstripe, a blue racing stripe down the center or "frame" it in the outside blue to tie them together.

As far as the different colors looking like you "cheaped out." That makes no sense, just making it white would have the same effect.

 

I really do not understand people who seek to poll the 'Court of Public Opinion' seeking approval for their ideas. If 50.0001% says it's cool are you going to do it just because of that? And if 50.0001% say it's not cool are you not going to do it? How about doing your own thing or is perceived coolness more important than doing what you want? It really doesn't matter what other people think....

 

...apparently you and I have differing definitions of the word 'restore'...

Oh, and quit with the text language ****.

.

 

Asking a traditional bunch of Hot Rodder's about painting your firewall plum crazy is not going to get the opinions you are looking for.

If you like it do it,,but don't get your feelings hurt when you paint the firewall and ask hambers what they think!,,they will tell you exactly what they think ! HRP

 

No.

 

what do you do with all the spare time you have created by not spelling out difficult words like "your" ?

 

If it was you're instead oof your than it would make all the difference in the world. that is 2 extra pieces of text right there.

Maybe he is asking the question from his phone?
