Tasteful Custom Paint Ideas

When we think of custom paintjobs for your ride, we tend to think of the flashy, in-your-face sort of job that’s designed to get you and your vehicle noticed. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, what if that’s not what you’re interested in? If you’re looking to get some paint done, but you’re hoping to stay a little more low-key, then we’ve got you covered. Read on for some inspiring, but altogether less flashy, custom paint ideas.

Tasteful Custom Paint Ideas

Single Colors

You know, there’s nothing wrong with going for a single, attractive color. With a truly top-of-the-line car, the vehicle stands out already; why feel the need to add all of that extra color as a distraction? Just pick a new color you like, and let your ride turn heads all on its own. Want a little variation? Consider the finish — Shiny? Flat? Textured? Even while sticking to one color, you have a variety of options!

Two-Toned

Of course, you might want to add a little something extra, right? A second color might be what you need to get the look you want. And one of the great things about a two-toned job is that, even with two colors, you can let your imagination run a little bit. Of course, you have to figure out which two colors work best. Then, you have to plan how they’re going to go together. Top and bottom? Front and back? Side to side? Alternate? Stripes? Do you want to blend them together in some form of pattern? Is it going to be a sudden change, or will you have the colors blur together into a seamless gradient? Already, the possibilities are just about endless.

Patterns and Textures

If you’re looking to step it up a little bit from there, consider all of the different and tasteful ways you can add patterns to your car. Yeah, those can be pretty flashy if you want them to be, but they can also be subtle. Patterns such as whirls, flowers, boxes, or paisleys, made with a handful of slightly different–yet complementary–colors, can stand out just enough to turn heads without looking like you’re screaming for everybody’s attention. The great thing about patterns like this is you really have to look deep to get the full effect. So a casual observer will notice that the car has some interesting things happening, but someone who takes a closer look will be rewarded even more.

We hope these ideas have inspired you a little bit as you search for the best custom paint ideas for your vehicle. If you’re hoping to create a look that’s inspired and amazing, but not too over-the-top of flashy, there are plenty of options out there, and there’s no doubt one of them will be perfect for you!
