ok, i am going to start painting my "Budget Build" this weekend. And, in the spirit of being a budget build, I will be using paint that i have left over from previous projects. I have Black and White... I have enough of each to do the whole car, but I cant decide. I've seen alot of great looking s13's in both colors... I just need some opinions, what do you guys think looks best?

why is it that other people can make polls asking about opinions on color choices and they dont get flamed at all. but the second i do, people start acting like d***heads.

did i do something to piss you people off? i have tried my hardest to be nice, even to the a**holes in here

what the hell is wrong with you people!?

if you dont care what i paint my car, or dont have an opinion GTFO

ok ganna lay it out for u

white is clean all around even when its dirty and will make dents and dings less notiecable.

black is great if u keep it clean and have flawless body work.

In my opinion i would go white and maybe a black roof if u cant decide on a color use both but its all up to u in the end do what u are going to like .

white car black roof

yeah i think either you should do the white with the black roof, or maybe like a dark gray? idk anythign about mixing paints but i do remember 3rd grade art and the color wheel lmao. my car is white and i notice all the dirt, but none of the small dents, and i think black looks really clean if you have a nice body. so that is my thought. good luck with your decision

hah thanks, all my car needs is a new motor and i should be set, i like the white in the summer it looks good, but during the winter, it gets really dirty, but i dont think you have to worry about it because you live in FL, and i have to say i do have a couple little tiny dings here and there and if someone was looking at my car who didnt know..they would never see them, so thats always a plus

I am aways impartial to black but if your body isnt in good shape then i would go with the white with black roof. My buddy had an orange one with a black roof and it looked good.

I must agree. Pretty soon we'll all be wondering why there's no more new members. ... Oh, and by the way ... WHITE!

depends on what you want to do with your car also. Lots of night driving i would go with white, just for that fresh clean look white cars look at night. Black if your in a cold area. Honestly i would never own a black car in Florida, lived there for a year with a grey 240sx and it was horrible.....IMO its your car and YOU haft to drive it everyday soooooooo
