Okay, I'm getting ready to start prepping my hatch for paint. I don't know what color I'm going to be doing. I have some ideas, but I need some opinions.

DARK metallic purpleLime GreenSuper WhiteSome shade of blueBurnt Orange

Any suggestions? If you are good at photoshopping and you want something to do, PS some colors on my car! It would REALLY appriciate it!

SO, is that what it will look like as far as the exterior is concerned?

If so, just go with lime green.

The paint is REALLY faded and scratched. The pix make it look good though! I think I'm feeling lime green. Its a tie between lime green and dark metallic purple.

Someone photoshop it with both!i would do it, but i SUCK at PS

I would go with Skyline "Bayside Blue" I believe its called or a lighter shade of blue or "Midnight Purple". If not white, cheap cost of paint, easy to clean and keep clean.

Paint is free for me. Me and my dad have a body shop and he owes me for all the work that I've done for him.

But trust me, I'm focusing my funds on a swap

I like the wing too. At first I didn't. But it kinda grew on me

I'm going to adjust the wing in the morning, as well as take those stupid fake vents off and paint my interior pieces back to black.Hopefully adjusting the wing will make it look a LITTLE better...

That wing looks terrible. There, I said it. Lime green would make your car look like dog ****, absolute ****. It's all about keeping it clean and simple.

Repaint it back to the original color and call it a day. But, if it was my car I'd paint it LP2 Midnight Purple.

i was admiring my friends paint on his 66 chevelle ss the other day and was thinking how it would look on a 240sx. the paint is late 90's chevy blue. its the blue that you see on the pickups and tahoes. the color looks pretty plain on those cars, but for some reason and i think its the sharp lines and curvy shape of his car, the paint comes alive. at certain angles it looks like how it does on a truck, but most other angles the paint shimmers and this great looking blue is revealed. but for the most part its a dark looking blue only until the sun hits the car just right. heres a pic of what im talking about.

Im really digging that color! I'm going to keep that color in mind when I get someone to photoshop some stuff for me.

I think it'd be pretty sweet to do something like that with purple. Make it look almost black, but one certain curves and angles you can see purple.
