  • ARGG, I can't decide on paint color



    Flat black the whole car and leave the black bumpers untouched?

    Flat OD green the whole car and leave the black bumpers untouched?

    Flat black from moulding down, OD green moulding up, and black bumpers untouched?

          I wish my PO had asked these questions... mine started life as a red festiva, then at some point someone decided teal/green looked better, and painted the bumpers, trim, door handles, etc. And added the mark III labeling from the old conversion van days. Whatever you decide, definitely keep the bumpers/trim stock.

                  If I had another festy to make a project out of I'd probably go for the whole rat rod theme too. I'd rock the faux rust paint job seen here....
