Hmmm... so many colors too choose from

Hi, im in the process of a engine swap, after i finish with that ill do some minor body work. When everything is done im gonna repaint the car. What color do you think i should go for?

[nissanrcer240]

chamelion!

:rolleyes

do you have any preferences at all??? maybe a shade of blue or red? dark color, light color?

[BuudWeizErr]

Two words:

Yashio Factory

[drifter_for_life06]

Chamelion is an expensive *** paint job, id go w/ w/e you like and try to make it jsut stand out, maybe a deep blue and a light pearl blue and 2 bases of clear coat, i think that would look real nice

[sleepyeyes]

i wanted to keep the stock color which is a light metalic blue, its the nissan blue, you know what im talkin about, but i think it would look weird that color once i add my body kit further down the road.Ill probably want a darker blue or possibly a black, what are some good shades of blue and black.

Oh this is the body kit ill be getting for it, http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/bodykits.htmldont you think it would weird with that color blue i have stock?

I'm painting my car this winter, and after a long search I finally found the color I want. It's on the new (ish?) Lexus IS300's, it's like a really really dark grey (almost black from a distance), but it's got a cool metalic flake in it. It's really nice. I think it's called Mica Grey. Check it out if you want.

if your gonna paint the car a different it would be best to do this wile the engine is out, so that u can paint the engine bay as well

[Mr1der]

or atleast shoot the engine bay in a flat or semi gloss black so it won't clash with the color you opt for.

then we just gotta do something about that hair of yours honey! ::flailshand::

[drifter sx]

blood red...

[fiznat]

yeaaa well... we'll see what I can do about the engine bay... Im not about to pull the motor out so I can paint the damn car, but I might try to touch it up so it looks normal. I dont care about that TOO much.

and oh my gawwd mr1der, no you didnnt go there!

[Mr1der]

I went there and back again sister!

you could keep it in the family and go sapphire blue with about 15 coats of clear coat:)

I painted my car Sapphire Blue Metallic(mercedes color). And it looks really good on my 240. Everyone that see's my car compliments on the color. It looks like a deep purple at night too, which is kind of cool. I can get a pic if you want to see it. Just an idea.

[EnzoRWD]

how much did these nice paint jobs cost u guys?-Enzo

[fiznat]

Im doin mine myself... lol I'll do a DIY about it when I do it over winter break. Wish me luck!

Sounds cool, why dont you post the pic up, i wouldnt mind seeing it. I have a friend that does paint jobs so hes gonna hook me up with a paint job all i have to do is buy supplies. Im gonna probably just paint the engine bay black while the engine is out of if i can figure a color out soon ill paint it the same as the car.Hey fiznat, ur 240 in the sig is the exact car i have, cool, same color and everything

[rousie13]

Just click the website thing under my name and it will take you to my webpage on my car with a few pics. It's a really nice color. I don't have any pics when it's getting dark, but it looks like a very dark blue/purple.

Audi Nimbus Grey, seen it on an s14.5, very sexy color.

[ride4lame]

i am thinking i am gonna do either mercede silver, or the light blue color on audis

[sleepyeyes]

I really like ur color rousie, i am seriously thinking of getting it now, when looking to buy the paint all i have to say is saphire blue metalic?

[nolaws4evr]

I chose to get the lamborghini gigrio avalon grey, but i looked into both the mica and nimbus, its just my gigrio had more flakes in it. the reason for grey was to match my cf hood, and it did it perfectly. i highly suggest either of those greys as i get complimented on mine a hell of alot for just the paint, especiall if you want a cf hood. also I really like the idea of a deep royal dark blue with red pearl in it, it wouldve been my second choice for my car. either way, good luck with whatever you decide to use.

oh yeah, paint job cost 2k with prep and everything
