I Just bought my 2000 lincoln Ls on the 17th its pearl white with black and chrome tint but i'm not really feelin it what do you guys think about Kandy Red paint on tha LS?

a lot of people have objections to candy colors but if you like it go right ahead. always do things by your taste and not others

Pics of it now??

Do a two-tone Candy Red on Pearl White. Candy Red is to LOUD of a color to paint the entire LS. Less is more.

I'll Post A few pic of my car when i get my cam back......the 2 tone idea i kinda like it but i dunno about the pearl i was thinking jet black and red maybe but i mean i still have to save enough to get the kandy lol i got about 2500 but i heard i'm looking at like 3000+ for the paint job i dont know if its worth it

You can never be Too Red! :cool:

If it's your daily driver, you didn't get it for an absolute steal, or the paint isn't totally hit as is... I wouldn't do it.

If it is a second car you intend on keeping for a good, long while... then do as you wish.

My point here is that you will not recover the money the paint will cost you, so it would be a good idea to consider how important and practical it would be before sinking $3000-$4500 into a car that is steadily depreciating in value. Know what I mean?

Anyhow; I have to go with Rollin on this; excessive loudness tends to look tacky. Whatever you do try to keep in mind this is a sports luxury car; a good paint design can stand out while still keeping with the style of the car (what I'm saying here is... it's not a Honda...)

I heard the red ones were slow.

maybe it's just a rumor.... ;0

Nate is right. If you plan to keep the car for awhile, paint it. Keep in mind, when its time to get rid of it. You may have problems selling it or get poor trade price. You will be looking for a particular buyer to buy it from you. You will probably lose money on it in the long run.

........ and black ones retain too much heat, causing them to lose power.
