    Any pics of purple cars?

    I am going crazy trying to think of a color for my car... I have been thinking of a dark blue with silver base top and a blue flake... carried into the interior parts...

    but now I am really liking a dark purple with a silver base top and purple flake.... friend of mine says that it is a little on the g#y side... but i advised him some of the Beatniks cars being purple... and nobody is going to tell them that...ha.. so was hoping to get some pics to get some ideas for a purple suede paint job...

    Thanks

    Purple is not gay. It's a cool color. Pink is cool, too - on the right stuff.
    So are you secure in your manliness? Then drive whatever color you like!

    My '47 Chevy convertible was painted a dark purple called Hawaiian Orchid. It's a '94-ish? Camaro color if I remember correctly.





    Here's a pretty sharp purple. I don't know what color it is, Raven oh here took the photo.

    purple is only gay on a car if it's a Prius or one of those smart car scooter things, very cool cars in this thread. It also looks really cool on engine parts, the Duplicolor anodized metalcast paint is great on homemade aluminum parts. Good stuff if you prep the parts right, it's like a lacquer though so be careful of chips.

    well if someone was driving one of those smart cars painted purple, with a barney in the passenger seat, it would be hard to not make a judgment:( call on that person. Purple will always be cool on hot rods and customs though.
