Why are cars mostly one colour.? Couldn't we have multi-coloured spots,stripes,flowers etc?

Question

I think the world could do with a bit of colour.

Answer 1

Many people have different coloured cars but its cheaper to just go with one colour so everyone does that.

Answer 2

you should own a "VW bug"  they either come that, or have ended up that way.

Answer 3

i think there was a one a few years ah=go...all pannels wre a different colour,red/green.blue...u get the idea..i think it was a mazda 323,called a harliquin[c**p speller] i think..

Answer 4

It'd be impossible to do on a production line, where the spraying gear is normally set up to spray an entire car in one colour.

VW did do a Golf with panels in all sorts of colours but it wasn't a success.  It cost a fortune to build, having to be virtually hand-built, and didn't sell very well at all.  Most people at first glance thought it was a wreck that had been fixed with panels from a scrapyard . . . .

However, if you can afford it you can get a spray job to virtually any design you fancy - if you think you can sell it in due course, your artwork may not be to everybody's taste.

Answer 5

It had to be a girl ask this you would not see a man driving a car with different colour sopts on it

Answer 6

you can,you can get your car spray painted with a paint that changes colour when it rains.I've seen some bizarre pattens on these type of spray job.

Answer 7

its mainly a question of cost of applying  anything other than one colour when spraying a car. it not only cost more in paint but in time too as you cannot apply a different colour paint over a 'wet' paint on a car without serious problems with the paintwork.

simply not practicable for mass production cars and trucks.

It also makes the cars resale value drop like a stone as so few may want to purchase anything  'not' in one solid colour.

there are many aftermarket companies that Will happily respray it to suit you wants .likes and desires. It simply costs a bit. good luck
