Custom created Proton

[RICHARD PAYNE]

THANKS GUYS. for all your suggestions. I have been looking for a Proton one so long I just kind of got focused in on it. One of the guys has already bought the paint, so proton it is. You have to keep in mind cost; that bronze color is a tricolor application. Cost of paint Proton $300 bronze $1600. Whice would you do? I like the red idea and the next one we get to paint red it is! I am going to have to drive it around for a while to make sure the paint doesn't fall off or something. Someone has to do it.

Damn, it's too bad your guy already bought the Proton paint before you had a chance to see this thread of opinions. In addition, making another Red version in the future would be a futile effort since FoxFire already exists. You need to venture out and try a paint color outside of the norm of current available VX colors; otherwise, you're just being redundant.

It's too bad the Cadillac Escapade "CHAMPAGNE" (aka Gold Mist Metallic) paint is so expensive at $1600 because it's a tri-color application. I bet it would look simply stunning on a VX with pure elegance and prestige. I'm curious on how much 2006 MINI Cooper "PURPLE HAZE" paint cost, and if it's within the ballpark of the $300 price mark??? If so, you ought to try the "PURPLE HAZE" treatment next on a future VX.

RR, I fully agree. While reading this thread that color was going through my mind to suggest. I painted my old 914GT in a similar champagne gold (Acura's - 1993ish). LOVE that color. I know my next statement will get mixed reviews, but I think the whole VX would look good in champagne (cladding and all).

Then do cream and black leather with stainless steel trimmed dash!
Oh, wait... I just described a Mercury Mariner. LOL!

Bronze. No Doubt.
