[240TT]

that car looks really clean, i love that color blue to

[Kalypso]

I am old school,

black is the only color.

[carps13guy]

i saw a del sol the other day with bad *** paint & chased him down to ask him what color it was. he said that it was scion tc metallic dark grey with green pearl sprayed on top. i hate honda's, but that was a badass color combo. the way it went from dark grey to a shimmery green pearl at different angles was just down right sickening. i will paint my car this color when i get enough money.

[Nali]

its a tri-color system, contact me i can get you the exact paint

Seriously you can get me the paint?Well ill contact u as soon as im back in the states.Depending on pricing we may have a deal. Ive pretty much finished working on my engine, now its time to make my car pretty. I dont want to break too much bank on paint, but depending on my finacial situation, we'll see what happens.

Umm can you get me any lexus color, because lexus also has starfire pearl which im also keen on.Im only looking to buy like a gallon of paint, also shipping cost will have to be taken into consideration, when im in the US im situated in Louisiana.

[fresno240sx]

What about my red 240 any comment on that is very hot love it.

[ventrex]

yeah any paint color... starfire pearl is nice too

just curious, how much did this paint job cost you?

[Keep it clean]

Very nice blue. I was hoping someone would have the nsx color on it. It comes from the 2005 nsx right?

[tramp_drift240]

are those girls like 5 foot even?

thats a really nice blue on that kouki, id like to see some more shades of black/extreme charcoal kinda stuff.

also, theres a color code for the Nissan Titan...i believe its D51. anyone have any other cars painted that color? greenish greyish awesome.

contemplating getting my coupe done in that color.

[fender_dude]

How about Sunrise Red with a Gloss black hood???

[Tulsa_S-13]

See sig below. I used Porsche Riviera Blue. It's like Smurf meets Pepsi blue.

[Red93coupe]

Imagine this color with some dark bronze rims.....

I am real close to $10,000 for this paint job. However there was a lot of work done and most of that is labor. The whole car was stripped down, windows removed, interior completely removed, engine will be pulled and the bay painted (haven't done this yet was waiting on getting my new motor). This price also includes the parts which were a new hood, new quarter panel, replaced the hard top roof with a factory sunroof skin and installed factory sunroof and I bought a complete K's Aero body kit. The car was blocked down twice before paint and was panel painted so there are no tape lines on this car anywhere. The trim was sanded and painted, the taillights were sanded and cleared. Also a new radiator support will be installed. Oh and the trunk had to have the stock holes welded shut and the new holes drilled for the JDM spoiler. The pics of the car at the show was the day after we put the car back together and it was not even sanded, buffed, or waxed yet. This paint also will cost you more due to it being a 3 stage paint so essentially everything gets painted 3 times.

Thats correct. I think it is the same from 03 up but I could be wrong. But is is called Long Beach Blue. This color is amazing in the light.

[Bmxandcars]

Flat Black.

**** probably would of cost way less if you didn't install a 'factory sun roof skin'

Since we were pulling the glass for paint and the rear quarter had to come off it actually wasn't that much more work to have done and I wanted a factory sunroof. I also forgot to add that it included all new window seals since the glass was rempoved.

There is no doubt that it could have been cheaper if I started with a bit cleaner shell. This car had a lot of body work that needed to be done. All the little detail work adds up in man hours also. If I had bee there I could have done a lot of the disassembly but I am currently working in Iraq. There are many ways to cut the costs of a paint job but if you want it done right it is going to cost.

[tramp_drift240]

so itll cost around 10k, or less, if i get whatever shop to pull out all the glass, the motor, and already have all the interior out?

ive really been thinking about this because i dont want an incomplete paint job. i want it all done. i dont like when you open a door or remove a panel or something, a different color to jump out at you.

It really depends on how much body work you have done. If your car is fairly straight you could probably do it for half the cost. My car actually has almost $2000 in materials alone. This paint is not cheap. It really comes down to how good you want it to look and how much you are willing to spend. This car will be a promotional car for my business I will be starting soon so I want it to be as perfect as I can get it.

wow that long beach blue is the best blue i've ever seen. i'd go with that color but i already have the paint supplies for daytona blue

Thanks, it is even better in person out in the sun. I have been wanting to paint something this color for a while and when I saw the lines of the 240 I knew it would work on it. I am very happy with the results.

[240TT]

i would be happy with those results to, especially if i was paying around 10k for a nice paint job like that. i would love to have that in my driveway. every time i walk outside id be like damn. i absolutely love how my car looks

[tramp_drift240]

is it hard to find a place that'll take everything off to a bare shell, paint, then reinstall everything? doesnt seem like too common of a body shop would pull the motor for the engine bay, all the glass, etc.

i really would like that done though.

Most shops these days don't want to do all that work. Shops make money faster and easier doing insurance work. My buddy has a body shop that did mine and he is doing more and more customs which is why he and I are going into business doing only custom work. We will be officially starting the business up next Spring but if you wanted your car done and don't mind bringing it down to GA then we could get it fixed up for you. Shoot me an email if you are interested.
