Hi all, I have '95 240sx and planing to do S15 conversion w/ Target bumper. And I can't decide what color I should paint it to look good. My choices are Blue or Silver. I need little help from you guys. This is the blue I might go w/

If you guys can think of any other color, let me know. Thanks

too shiny... but it might be just the lighting...

personally, i like the charcoal/gunmetal color that is found on S13's. but i don't think it'd look good on an S14... on a S15 it might... smooth edges (not curves), generally look good in silver/gray or a variation of that, such as charcoal/gunmetal... but that's just IMO.

i got a 180sx and i have the same dilema im going for black with 18" blitz Z2's and getting them in a custom dark gold or coper fin. or i'll go for that signal s15 color candy orange with blitz type 03 18" rims

i would say go BLUE, cause black has been so over done, and outta those two blues....i'd say the first one is nice but the 2nd one is more unique and pretty sweet, unless your uncomfortable with your sexuality, cause people will call it baby blue....lol....

BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE, did I mention you should pick the blue!

Post by **TrueSlide** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

I like the silver, but I have fetish for silver cars

The blue looks really sweet.

These are the colors I would Suggest:-medium toned titanium silver with a gunmetal pearl-IS blue-signal orangeThese are just my suggestions, but I really think you should be the one choosing the color you think is hot for your car. Don't really pay attention to what anybody else thinks. If they don't like your choice, thats too bad for them. They can burn for all I care.

What about this Blue? http://hotimportnights.com/gal...8.jpg

Too light?

Post by **IczMan** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

Here is IS blue: http://hotimportnights.com/gal...6.jpg

It's very hard to decide. I like both. I'm think about Silver w/ little bit of light blue in it.

Supersonic Blue Pearl is a sweet color, close to the Viper Blue on the car in the first pic but looks better at night.

SRdS14 that color is awesome. I am looking to paint my car this color in the next month or so.

i would go with the second blue , but i think black always looks good on 240s too

Post by **Anand** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

I would say Black!

Post by **b240** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

Yea , I agree with Black240. I don't think black could ever be played out. It's just such a rewarding color. People know you take care of your care when it looks shiny and clean. It's hard to keep up (I know from 1st hand expeirence)!

Post by **skydragoness** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

black is very elegant and when properly cared for it shines the best! dark colors are always good. except they show up scratches (like hairline ones) the most. alas, my car is white, and due to lack of funds for a real good paint job, it may stay that way.

i am a big fan of audi charcoal grey though

Post by **SSal007** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

My 97' 240 is black and i think its a hot color. However, when it gets dirty it is easy noticable and if you like taking night pics of your car, the black color makes it hardly noticable. Thats why people are starting to prefer Charcoal. Its dark, its hot, and its noticable at night. I think the IS charcoal is hot as well is the silver. If I'm not mistaken Iczman, the IS silver has a blue pearl in the paint, so you might want to look more into that and find out from Lexus.

Post by **IczMan** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

I like blue, but Im biased.

Post by **big jon's 240** » Tue Dec 17, 2002 9:08 pm

I personaly like the "Lexus graphite gray pearl". So far that is the color im probably going to paint mine. Those blue's you guys showed are very nice also.
