I guess you're right, but champagne s14's are a dime a dozen too, BUT not slammed and with kits.

I have time to think this over.. I have a huge rust hole in my qp to fix before I paint this thing.

[BrianHarte]

Mr Matej - you happen to be up your a** right now.

[Matej]

Yes I am sir.

If that car was all beat up I would say go for it with without thinking twice, but to me it looks way too clean to be painted blue, or any other color for that matter.

At least from what I can tell.

[BrianHarte]

not hating, but rather,just saying.

[AZhitman]

Not feeling the surf blue - too much like Bayside Blue, which is way played out (for Nissans).

Also, I like the light olive green pearl they're using on the Honda CR-V... WAY cool.

There's a color Caddy uses on the CTS this year that's insane... a dark merlot color, almost black, but kinda black cherry / purple metallic in the sunlight. Sexy.

[BrianHarte]

I have heard people say that blue is played out before...

I honestly don't get it.

Sure I've seen a lot of blue cars, but 95% of them suck d!ck.

[AZhitman]

I just like unusual colors.... There's a few more out there I can't think of right now, but Honda's color pallette in recent years has been awesome.

With that said, I'm gonna start a Photoshop contest to design the new paint scheme for Project Vert... It'll have to be 2-tone and incorporate black (as I don't want to shoot the door jambs and underhood areas).

[BrianHarte]

I mainly agree.

I wish I had 4 or 5 cars right now to do.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

The vert is getting paint?!?!?! Are you keeping the Weds Greg?

[Matej]

Not talking from a played out perspective.I have a red 240, no right to talk about played out colors.I just don't think I could repaint a well-preserved factory color. It's more of a sentimental/no going back kind of thing.Not my car though, I will be quiet now.Proceed sirs.

[ChampaignSilviaS14]

Psh, f*** drifting. Im just gunna make it a drag car now.

[mRodiek]

Psh, f*** drifting. Im just gunna make it a drag car now.

Yeah drifting is for those losers who just cant handle driving in a straight line for 10 seconds right?

Paint the S14 a dark cherry maybe metallic? That would be amzing with some black wheels, yum.

I agree 100% - I HATE repaints, unless the car is totally stripped (glass and rubber and interior and all).

I hate red, yet I have 3 red vehicles in my driveway. Dammit.

[AZhitman]

Yeah, I'm getting bored with it.

Thinking radical widebody, different aero, and custom paint.

[ViolentRunning13]

Are you going to the "ZOMG BBQ" this saturday, Brian Harte?

[BrianHarte]

I have a prior obligation?

[ViolentRunning13]

You should go. There's going to be a bbq.

[BrianHarte]

oh... why the hell did I put a question mark.

It should have said.

I have a prior obligation.

statement.

BBQ is pretty cool though.

[Kalypso]

your thread is a hangout spot bh

[BrianHarte]

yeah... we're just hangin out...

shootin the breeze.

[spooled240]

it's this sat? s*** i was gonna take the day off but w/e guess i won't be making it

[White Comet]

I agree 100% - I HATE repaints, unless the car is totally stripped (glass and rubber and interior and all).

i've seen resprays done without removing glass and molding, but imo it depends on the individual paint guy.

[Kalypso]

imo its ok to repaint a similiar color to the original.

Id paint midnight black with a purple clear unto my coupe. but it was factory black before.

[BrianHarte]

I painted this car with the glass and rubber still on. I mask it well though.

S14 was same way.

if I had the 100% desire, I would do the whole car the right way... but i dont have the time or effort.

[s13gebala]

Norm stopped by today and we had a 10 minute TYPE X meet.

what wheels does your buddy have, and specs if you can

[BrianHarte]

Work Equips.

17 by somethings...

[Kalypso]

he should get the x lip... before its too late.

[BrianHarte]

I know.He knows.

When he finds one, he will get one.But I don't know when that will be.

[dahveed]

i am painting my hatch soon, but i still have not been able to decide what color i want. i either want a really cool dark purple, or a nice light... something. then i saw a burnt-orange camaro and thought that looked pretty nice, but idk on an s-chassis.. any recommendations? lol, sorry for posting this crap in your thread.

[BrianHarte]

No problem.

What does the car looks like?

Body kit?Stock?TYPE X?
