    Having trouble picking between Pelican Blue and Olive Drab

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am going to get a quote for my new paint I will be getting in November. I can't decide between OD Green or Pelican Blue. I know they are completely opposite colors but those are what I am considering. I think I am leaning more towards the OD green. It would look so sick with Matte black grill, rings and wheels. I have seen a couple other pics online of some. Particularly this one

    Fiance doesn't understand why I want to paint my car. She just thinks I should leave my car as is and save for a SQ5. Regardless, I am getting my car painted. The SQ5 will not be my DD, this will, and I want it to look sick. Anyways, I am really leaning towards the OD green. I know its my decision but what do you guys think?

    Matte finishes look dirty in my opinion. Pelican all the way. Pic of your car currently?

    Matte finishes are ugly on all cars imo. I like paint that looks like a mirror, not a chalkboard.
    I got my first job at 16 hoping to save money...then I bought my first Audi.

    No offense but you'd have to be a real asshole to pick that disgusting drab green color over pelican blue.

    It would definitely be a military look. All matte green and black. I also thought about the color they paint tanks... Like a khaki color. Never seen an audi that color before. I am an ex marine which is why I think I am partial to the olive drab or desert brown color.
