    VX paint

    What i'll suggest to you is to go at the VX japanese cyber board & look at all those excelent colors,you may change your mind about that color you talk about

    Personally i love 5 colors black,red,silver,yellow & blue

    Also check those dragon green VX's on the board;You can re-define your vision of a green VX & make a smater choice
    Dakar was just the begining.

    But seriously if you want it Green or especially flat green, just go muddin in some nasty stuff, then if you don't like it go wash it off. I personally do not like green on any vehicle and definitely do not like flat colors on the VX at all, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me at all, but then again I probably didn't have to say that.

    2 things I do want to see:
    -VX painted ALL BLACK with 20" rims and 35" tires (not the 16" rims on the all black vx we have all seen photos of)
    -VX painted in all Lexus white or BMW white (the ones with the pearl shine that shows just a hint of blue, but not overpowering like the hint of red in some that make them look pink, blah)

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    I like OD green on some cars, honestly I don't think it looks right on a VX though.

    matte colors look best when they're in contrast to non matte. On a normal car a matte body in contrast to shiny lights, wheels, trim, etc. looks fantastic.

    the problem on the VX is that the cladding is already matte and I think it would just look bad if you did the whole thing in a matte too.

    OD green might look ok on the body if you did the cladding in a gloss black. but not with the cladding as normal IMO.

    Everyone I know with flat paint has a really sh*tty car, and I probably know about a dozen people with flat paint cars. Typically that's what they get painted when they body gets trashed and they're too lazy to fix it properly

    You 'dissed' my rims

    You ignore my color - (Protons rock)

    What's next - you gonna tell me I'm too old to drive a VX?

    Honestly LittleBeast, did I anger you in a previous life???

    First of all I sorta kinda dissed your offset, yes.....
    I did not ignore your color I just stated the obvious, why get yellow when you can get black?
    And it really depends on how old you are, how old are you? lol.....
    Maybe you did anger me in a previous life, or maybe I am haunted by my previous life where I had a yellow car with tires that could hit a car two lanes over and now I am trying to make things right..... Or it could be that the VX is so unique that not even some questionable offset or weird spare or out there color could make it that less of an amazing ride..... Or I could've been your jealous younger brother in a previous life and now I will hate on anything you do..... oh wait..... there now I am done overusing periods

    Proton Rocks

    If you are going to buy a vehicle that stands out then pick a color that stands out even more.
