Cant Decide on a paint color!

[cjmirabal1]

i have a black 1990 240 pignose hatch that im converting to the kouki body style.

after the conversion i want to paint it finally but im torn between 3 colors

1-Millenium Jade (gtr)
2-Black Pearl (gtr)
3-Egg shell black

what do you guys think?


millenium jade


black pearl


eggshell black

[badbob2121]

those colors look good on gtr's and s15's but i dont know bout your s13.... i would probably go with 2 or maybe 1... its your car, what do you want?

[reodan92]

1 looks really good on that gtr, kinda looks like silver moss :P

[SX APPEAL]

I've always been a fan of pearl black.

btw reodan, the sign in the background of your signature pic makes your car look like a taxi, LOL

[240sxjoe92]

Lol ^^^^^^ And i think you should go with the second one...

[mn011890]

i like #1, but idk about how it would look on an s13....i would go with 2, maybe 3. have you considered any paint colors that arent nissan? i know toyota, bmw, and even GM have some good lookin colors that i think our 240s could pull off

do you have the ability to rock satin black?...you gotta ask yourself that man haha
stick with #2 any sort of glossy black looks good on just about anything no matter what you do to it.

That Millennium Jade is sweet looking

Gloss black is good

The eggshell black looks....unfinished.

[lamonsterscorner]

number one is sweet and number two is sexy. number three i havent really seen on a S13. ive seen number three on a first gen S14 though and that look sweet. hmmm i'd go with....number one. has a clean crisp look.

[DamonDread]

ability as in? lol

as in satin black is dope...if the car doesnt match that word yet, dont do it.
make sense?

[tm1218]

none of the above in my opinion.

now it makes sense!

[ZombieWolf]

#1 might look... OK

Gloss black always looks good

Flat black is overrated for your application, IMO flat black looks good on expensive looking cars

[gigabit240]

IMO some cars can pull off certain colors and others cant.. Like the jade looks good on the gtr but it prolly wouldn't look very nice on an s13. If you where to paint your car millennium jade id suggest blacked out rims to take away from the paleness of the car color. Any type of black looks good on a 240 though. The black pearl would look good.

[SoCal-S13]

Personally I wouldn't use any of the three. Find a rare color offered on the S13 chassis like Juniper Green Metallic or Charcoal Metallic. I think the oem metallic colors look amazing, especially if it's gonna be fresh paint.

open your doors...see the color the door jams are? yes that, paint it that color.

You just miss your juniper green fastback so-cal...

IMO if you're gonna fork out the cash to get a car completely repainted, do something different and eye-catching, but not a stock color, be original! I loved the house of kolors royal blue on my S14, you know, before I stuffed it into the back of an acura legend and had to take it back down to primer

yeah and the fact Juniper Metallic was only used for two years. not a commonly seen color. and it looks sexy when you get up close. and it changes colors at night. so awesome.

[cjmirabal1]

were could i get the black pearl paint from? i noe the code is GV1

[mixeds14]

i think the black pearl looks dope on any car.. especially a 240..
