Vigilante paint job ideas

This vehicle is on my to buy list, but one of the small off putting things about it is that it only has a primary colour for it. No secondary and no liveries either, which is a shame. 

 

Aside from 98% of gamers who paint it black and think they're Batman, I was wondering about some alternatives, maybe utilising pearlescent to pull off some cool looks. 

 

Any suggestions? Does the matte pearlescent glitch still work?

I like it in chrome the best.  It’s a great vehicle btw...great for collecting bounties because it has a normal blip on the map so they don’t know what is coming.  The missiles are great, same as the Ruiner and Deluxo.  I crushed the time trial today by 20 seconds across the entire map.

Yes, but only at LSC.

 

You don't even need to glitch it, I brought in my matte Diabolus & I was able to do it immediately.

 

Drove in > Paint > Pearlescent.

I will preface this statement by stating that I haven’t tried it myself, but I don’t think the matte pearlescent glitch will work. You need to change the number plate to get this to work and the Vigilante doesn’t have a number plate. Same reason it doesn’t work on the RE-7B.

It only works at Los Santos Customs now, doesn't work at the other garages for some reason.

Even at Los Santos customs you need to be able to change the number plate though. If the vehicle doesn’t have a number plate you can’t do the matte - pearlescent glitch anywhere.

Doesn't have to be the plate in my experience, changing any part worked before?

Actually purchasing any kind of modification allows the glitch to work. Before I had custom plates I'd click on metallic paint, hover over black for a few seconds, back out go to window tint or rims, buy that and then go to pearlescent. You can even buy a secondary paint color and make this glitch work.

Second this, I have Yankton plates on a few cars I drive, I would change something cheap, change it back and then do pearlescent.

I didn't know that. I thought it had to be a numberplate change. Well, now I guess my RE-7B will getting a new paint job very soon

LOO4emg.jpgKinda went for the ground fighter jet look. The matte black is overdone IMO. The matte dark blue might happen though. Old school bat mobile look would be cool.

If you really want it & have the money to spare, buy it full price.

 

I've waited 3 years for the Titan to be discounted again. I eventually had enough & bought it full price. It finally went on sale again 11 months after I bought it & I don't regret my decision one bit.

 

 

Just don't buy it in the middle of an event lol.

The pink one reminds me of the Pink Panther car.

You see, desert tan would be awesome if only you could have military liveries too.

This vehicle needs to have liveries, at least Gunrunning ones.

Well, I've taken the plunge and bought it at full price.  What's the betting that next week it will be discounted lol?

 

Sadly, there's no way to pearlescent it whilst it is matte.  Can't get it to work at all.  So at the moment I've got it as matte light gray, which unfortunately doesn't look that great on this vehicle.  I have matte gray on all my others and it looks great, but on the Vigilante... sadly not :( 

 

Still open to suggestions in that case...

Congrats! 👍

If you're willing to cross to the other side, you can merge it with a car already have the color combination you want.

 

Just make sure the car have the stock wheels on, so a custom one won't transfer to the Vigilante. (Unless you want to)
