I was told it couldn't be done.......

[TwinCelicaGirl]

But I found my high heat paint in purple, and I painted my engine plastics with it. It looks AWESOME! I did it at the same time that I installed my Injen CAI, and the purple/red combo is REALLY sweet. I am thinking of getting the red hose kit to finish the look. I am clear coating the pieces this weekend, and then I will post pics!

Yep! The wing is getting painted right now, and hopefully will get installed on Monday. I also installed my Eibach Sportline springs and Konico shocks, so it should make for a nice pic!

My car is silver. I painted the engine plastic purple. I have the red Injen CAI with red hoses. It looks AWESOME!

Hmmm....

[jonasblack]

it's crazy but it might just work... then again girls are much more color coordinated than guys are. they know what matches and what doesn't

[IceManFX]

welll its more because red and purple are compliment colors

so therefore they work together

thats why black and white are universal colors.. they go with everything

thats why red and green dont go together
on the color wheel they are similiar and not compliment so they dont mesh well together

and no girls arent more color cooridinated

guys are just lazy ;-) and we are happy wearing simple colors.. black.. blue.. grey..

girls like to keep it interesting

Females also have a higher percentage of being color blind.

correct me if i'm wrong ( i sometimes am) but i thought compliments were: purple/yellow, blue/orange, and red/green? or maybe those are just opposing colors

[Blue Lucifer]

Yes . i was about to point that out as well. In fact, those are complimentary colors of pigment. I was thinking of complimentary colors of light, such as Blue/yellow, Red/Cyan, and Green/Magenta. I don't know. When I do complimentary colors,I usually do light, since when it beams off, it looks vibrant

Females also have a higher percentage of being color blind.

That is incorrect. Males are the higher percentage of being color bling. Females instead are higher in percentage of being carriers for the gene, and the expression shows when only a carrier female has kids with an expressive father will only females be carriers (50/50 chance). Males on the other hand will express the gene completely or not. See, they can't be carriers because of only 1X chromosome on the sex chromosome, (the Y cannot express anything but only indicate male sex traits.)

That looks AWESOME! That color looks more blueish to me though, maybe it's just the camera, but I REALLY like that. Mine is more purple looking. I'm gonna go clear coat the pieces right now and I will have some pics up tonight!
