My car's paint has been peeling pretty bad lately. I'm thinking about painting it a different color than its current red. Does anyone have a pictures of a S13 Hatch that's British Racing Green or Midnight Blue?

I tried both a good wax and a claybar a few months ago, but didn't make a big difference. My clear coat is pretty much peeling off my car almost like it has sun burn. There was a factory green for the S13?

Thanks!

Thanks haha.This is about a year ago, lighting wasn't all that great so you can't really tell it's green.

Here's a few months ago, after it got repainted again, this time they put in tiny flakes or something.

I don't have many recent pictures of the front, sorry.

I'll post them if I find some.

DH0 Juniper Green Metallic, it's the stock paint code, but the paint shop added something to the paint. Also, I used Urethane paint, it's more flexible and my fender can prove it! I've dropped so many tools on it I've lost count and it doesn't have a chip.

I got it painted at a place called OneDay Paint, really takes a few days to paint though. :P

Nice, if you don't mind, how did it cost you to paint it?

Thanks again for all your help!

Around $800 I believe, including fixing some minor dents.

Not bad at all, looks real good too. I might try doing the painting on my own in the summer, think I can purchase this paint from a paint shop? Or is it specifically through OneDay?

Thanks, once again.

If you take the paint code to a shop, they might be able to mix you up a batch.

OM3GA, I would be down for that green, too, if I had a drift car or something. Haha, the TVR pulls it off pretty well, might look good on someone's 240; just not mine.

So, I'm now considering going with a black, not a flat or satin black but a glossy black. Any thoughts on the black on black combination? And I've only been able to find pictures of 1 hatch with the same wheels as me and a black paint job. If anyone has more pictures of this setup, it would be greatly appreciated.

Gloss black paint and flat black wheels. Do green accents or something.
