    i have a 04 white pontiac grand prix gt. i really want to change the color of my car to neon blue color, super bright. anybody know where i can buy car paint at? or where i could fine this color?

    Also i really wanna install a couple of 10' or 12' subs. but first i need a box for them. Anybody know where i can get a DECENT priced box that will fit perfect.

    Lastly i would like to color the interior of my car, not the seats but like the trim and stuff around the cd deck and insides of the door. does ANYBODY know how to do this or a website or something or where to go to get it done and how much this will roughly cost me. please please please gimme any suggestion thank you all so much

    You should not be painting your own car. It takes a fair amount of knowledge and skill to do it successfully.

    why dont you do a google search and look around these forums, you will probably find every answer to your question. If you want to change the color of your car to neon blue I think you have issues.

    if you have never painted before and really want to it yourself. but shell or something and practice on that first.

    interior. depends on what your wanting to chainge. with what kind of finish.

    subs. I would say. just by reading your post. you are kinda new to this. get a prefabbed box. vented and see if that is the type of sound you like or not. but don't blow what appears to a good amount of money getting the stuff above with out having knowledge of it first.


    But I could be a jerk and say go and go to get paint. get a gun from here and air compressor from here. now you have 2000+ invested and then laugh when you show us the awsome paint job.

    like above post suggested. learn first then decide.

    No not necessarily a "neon" blue...but some other dude on here had a really tight color blue that seemed really bright.. i didn know the color name obviously so i guess with the neon.

    also im not looking to paint the car myself. i would like to take it somewhere to be painted but i have no idea where to get car paint.

    as for the subs i already have 2 12' kicker subs with a 1200 watt infinity amp. just wondered if there was any special type of box to fit inside of my 04 grand prix gt

    buy a box for the specs of the subs and build around it. if you take your car to a place to get it painted then they will have the apint. it iwll cost your more if you go buy the paint and take it to them.

    if you want to get it professionally painted.. check out Maaco

    Open Cone Intake, 180° Tstat, Autolite 605 Coppers, Autolite 7mm wires (will upgrade soon), Muffler delete (headers soon)

    No don't check out Maaco... Its way cheaper paint and is a single stage (hardened basecoat/clear MIX) inless you go with there signiture line. There notorious for skipping needed preeping/sanding steps. Take the car to various paint/body shops and tell them what you want, and they will give you an estimate. After you go around to a few that can show you there workmanship quality. Then pick one. Then you will go from there deciding your color, dents fixed? and ect.

    Any nice body shop can/will mix up paint for you. You somly walk in and give them a few pictures and they will make a few sprayout cards of various shades/metallics/pearls and then will hand them to you for a decision.

    My guess is this is the color you are looking for. Pontiac Power

    It is Medium Gulf Blue Metallic. Everytime I look at my car I can't get enough of that color. It is gorgeous!

    As for painting your door panels, dash, etc.. here is a good How To found in the How To section of the forum. http://www.grandprixforums.net/paint_plastic.php

    I hope this helps!
