Before I'd ever go buy something from paintscrach. I would see if you have a automotive paint shop around to match a can of paint from your car. Give em your gas door and they color match, instead of getting what it looked like from the factory. If you decided to do that. Wheels look proper though!

thanks! will do that.

Thanks everybody for the kind words.
Was going to paint only the hood, not the whole car. Going to pass on flat black rattle can. Forgot that i could go to a local auto paint store and get some rattle cans calypso with clear. Thanks!!
Forgot to add fixing the valance to the list. Also need to roll my fenders.

If you flat black that car, I will come to California, and destroy you. The Hood, OK. The rest of the car. NO. I almost Bought a calypso. I regret it every time I see one. Yours Is clean except the hood. Beautiful car.

[freeride53]

Yeah, and if anything, you could even do fix the valence.
Buy another straight one, and paint it yourself.
Shouldn't be too hard, its down there, and nothing a first timer couldn't do..

or CF vinyl which you could always pull of for a proper repaint later.

get the 3M Di-noc off ebay.

Listen man.

Go to Paintscratch.com
Have them send you 3 cans of custom mix OEM paint in a spray can in ONE STAGE. Take the hood off the car. Sit it on stands or trash cans. Prep the hood well, sand evenly and wipe with mineral spirits, and finish with tach cloth. Respray the hood. Polish with wheel. Done. OEM'ish look from a spray can.

Calypso deserves a proper hood repaint.
Cars look nice.

This. Calypso is sooo sexy.

Dude, no need to half ass such an E30. It has loads of potential! That is my ideal combo btw- sedan/calypso is the ultimate score. :hitler:

[Pantless Spency]

you could always just repaint the hood even not calypso... i was thinking of getging a spare hood to sand down and paint with chalkboard paint just because i like the idea of it. or look for a calypso hood, but gl with that haha, this would be a shame to respray with rattle cans in flat black :/

[CHIF8008]

fix that front valance. and if you really wont pay for new paint on the hood. get a nice black hood- not a rattle canned hood. looks a whole lot better
