[Octane Cruze]

Sorry it looks ugly.

This color seems more fitted on a import ricer or some wannabe hella flush car. Not a Cruze with hub caps.

By all means, this was done as a "test" as you will. A guy in an M5 pulled next to me and started shaking his head in disapproval, honestly I like that - because it's a joke. People can either take this as a goofball temporary thing, or take it seriously - at the end of the day no cares where given on my part. Some people love it, others hate it. I love the color lime green, however I'll agree with you that this is ridiculous - but then again that's what i was going for.

Well I've done the chrome trim on the windows, the chrome bar on the trunk and the chrome piece on the rear bumper before I found out about using white as a base coat so those will have to be done next year. I still am going to try and get the front chrome done this year and that I will be using a white base coat on. I'm hoping to get more even coverage with the white base because painting over the chrome with Blaze required 6 to 7 seven light coats.

Sounds like a plan, make sure you only use the can down to about 75%-80% then it starts to "speckle". You're taking a way more "professional" approach rather than how i did it. Kudos, and best of luck!

Yuc not much into lime green on any thing . I do like a good piece off pie with cool whip from time to time .
That is definitely different .

Pie is good, Key lime pie is the best evar imo.

I'd say try the following:

Black
- Chrome under the window
- Gold part of the bowtie [front & rear]
- Chrome trunk trim

Green
- Chrome part of the bowtie [front & rear]

I'm going to take you up on the black, however on the "green" it wouldn't make sense for the next step for my car.
The green is a temporary thing, I have something much more intercepting in the mix .

I really like it, from far away it would make me look twice

Thanks dude It certainly gets mad attention rofl.

Well, I commend you for having the courage to do this. If you like it, that's all that matters. If the car was Blue Topaz Metallic I think it would look a lot better. Since the colors would contrast each other. With the black it's a little too much for me.

As I said in a previous message it's just a temporary thing untill the other slice of the "pie" (no pun intended) comes in the mail. I'm not planning on any "supporting colors" to contrast it .

heres an idea for you :
Colored Wheels: Sparco Assetto Gara - Make Driving Fun with Performance Tires & Wheels | Tire Rack

10 different colors and they come in 16, 17, and 18"

i agree with mick and roccity, maybe it would look a little better with more accents
personally i dont think any of those crazy blazer colors look good on cruzes

As long as you swap out green with whatever color you plan on eventually having as an accent, it will still look really nice. The key to accents is that they're accents, so subtlety is key.

Paint the car with the green. Remove the wheel covers and add an eibach drop spring and I think you'd be in business then.

Not a big fan, tbh. Not trying to be a douche just not my cup of tea

It takes maybe 15 minutes to dry, and about 2 weeks for it to cure properly
