View Full Version : tacky color combination?
reaper2022 02-25-2007, 04:54 PM Here's a question brought up by ej6buddy and Live_4it...
Is a green car with a blue interior tacky? This is only asking opinions... please, do not take poll results personally if they don't agree with your opinion
ej6buddy 02-25-2007, 04:57 PM come on now, leave me out of this,:eek: it was just a joke to do a poll, i wasn't really serious, this makes me look like an a$$hole now, lol
Live_4it 02-25-2007, 05:11 PM lol pretty black and white......[sm=joke.gif]
civicexracer 02-25-2007, 06:32 PM if u like it then cool....but if i saw the car around, it'd make me think of the 60's[:-]
Live_4it 02-25-2007, 07:53 PM My cars exterior color is the first attachment(haven't washed it in awhile cold weather here lot of salt on her). The second pic is what it would look like washed and polished (the color). The interior will be blue accesories like the 3rd attachment. Come on it wouldn't look that bad[sm=smiley24.gif]
ryank327 02-25-2007, 07:54 PM idk Id stay with the whole green thing. Forest green adn white look really sharp together IMO
ej6buddy 02-25-2007, 07:56 PM if you're just getting an e-brake handle, then i think it would look fine, but if you paint all of your interior pieces blue, idk
Live_4it 02-25-2007, 07:59 PM well, I'll prolly do the shifter knob and maybe the gauges at some point. And maybe a blue steering wheel cover and/or raceing seats. All the same blue color of course wouldn't want a bunch of different tones of blue.
Live_4it 02-25-2007, 08:04 PM not painting, I mean for the interior. That was just the valve cover I was thinking to paint.
ej6buddy 02-25-2007, 08:31 PM try painting the valve cover white with black lettering, that would look sharp, i've never seen that b4

I've seen Mazdas with that before... it looks amazing,.. I can't imagine how hard it would be to keep clean, though... I have trouble keeping my dark blue valve cover clean ;)
civicexracer 02-25-2007, 09:27 PM my buddy got his valve cover painted pearl white and looks great. not hard to clean off either..

ej6buddy 02-25-2007, 09:35 PM and that's also a k20, i wouldn't care if it was pink, if i only had one.............
Stumasters 02-25-2007, 09:40 PM that has to be powdercoated, thats too smooth to be hand painted.
I like white and black, nice mix, but agree its probably hard to keep clean.
I need to clean my engine bay bad!
FlipHKD720 02-27-2007, 08:43 AM i thnk you need a combination of white or black in with a normal color to make it not look tacky. Other than that i think it looks pretty ricey.....
on a side note i think dark colors (like burgundy or forest green like mentioned earlier) look better than like neon green or blue
badb0ybilly 03-01-2007, 03:18 AM blue and green = not soo bad.
just depends on the actual shades of blue n green. some combo's work. some dont. its all about what the owner of the car thinks. its not about what everyone else thinks.. at least it shouldnt be.
ej6buddy 03-01-2007, 03:39 AM ^ it's just a poll, and only your opinions, so not any of that "depends on what the owner thinks"
and for the record, what blue and green "shades go together"
and i'm assuming you're the second to vote no?
Live_4it 03-01-2007, 10:49 PM wow, it must be hard for you to watch sports with all them clashing colors[sm=insomnia.gif]. They should just all wear black on black and be original.
Live_4it 03-01-2007, 10:52 PM Ej are you scareing people so they vote tacky?
ej6buddy 03-01-2007, 11:32 PM yes, that's what i'm doing, i'm scaring people into voting tacky, especially when the vote reveals what everyone already thinks of the combo on a car, and yes, this poll is for cars, and cars only. i'm not saying the color combination is tacky in any case, such as clothing, but it is on a car. (IMO, yes, it's my opinion, exactly what this poll is about) and i asked an honest question, what blue and green shades go nicely on a car. maybe a tiel/forest green combo?
Live_4it 03-02-2007, 02:46 AM If it's opinionated and your fine with that why are you jumping on people?
skateman190 03-02-2007, 06:36 PM blue and green ftw! lol

poll is for cars, like stated before
absoulute 03-04-2007, 07:58 PM i vote for green and white (hmm wonder why) i have my valve cover painted white with green honda letters...it doesn't get that dirty though and i don't have the plastic wheel wells in either probably cause it is so high in the engine bay. and i painted mine with jus base/clear shot out of a gun and holds up great in the heat..
ej6buddy 03-04-2007, 09:52 PM i like green/white, or green/beige
skateman190 03-04-2007, 09:54 PM green and beige is real nice lookin
FlipHKD720 03-05-2007, 10:23 AM bright colors combined with bright colors = tacky
bright colors combined with white/black = good
dark colors combined with white/black = the best

I can see that but like a forest green exterior color and blue interior accesories like the blue carbon fiber e-brake I put in. I don't think thats too extreme.

FlipHKD720 03-05-2007, 04:11 PM oh definately not (i almost boguht that exact same ebrake handle), but i think bright PAINT like blue or green looks really tacky
ej6buddy 03-05-2007, 04:27 PM live_4it, you should find some paint to match your grey interior and paint the e brake handle grey but leave the carbon fiber part alone, that would look different
