Seeing that x-mas is over, I can get started on my winter project, paint car. For some reason I have been really into painting it purple. I wanted a dark purple, maybe almost black. As on now, im set on Midnight Purple, but I was just curious if there are any other good factory color purples out there that anyone might know of. I considered the "shinka" RX-8 purple but that really doesn't do it for me. So if anyone has any other sugjestions, please, feel free. Oh btw, car, hatch with type x aero, wheels bronze te37's.

I think it would look awesome on a hatch with some nice settle aero kit on it.

Brickyard FTW. It's a great shade of purple, and it keeps it Nissan.
