Okay soo heres where im at, I have two 240 hatch's one is already done and typical flashy drift car soo this second one I have decided to go low key more old school styling with basic front lip minor skirts bolt on flares smaller low +0 offset etc. where im hung up is I have two ideas on paint color in my head and im just tryin to see what you all think, I the end it is my choice but input is always fun. Option 1 is panda style with nissan canteen green on top and option 2 is panda with a matte finish pearl white (saw it on a local GT-R and it looked sick). I know the cost of both and it dosnt sway my choice I am a paint and body guy soo labor and most my supplys are free. Let me know what ya think if you care to comment. Once I get started ill be postin up some pics for you all to see.

im guessing by panda, you mean a black roof with color body....
if thats the case, matte white will look awkward imo, i think the "canteen" green your talking would be a better option but its really becoming a common color, if your looking for low key look into factory colors not necessarily OE Nissan, check out other manufacturers, bmw, lexus, and Gm have some really nice late model colors.

Paint it HOT PINK! Black out the taillights, and tint it black all around! And maybe a black or white roof!! :dblthumb:

Personally I like the canteen green. I think it would look good panda. Looks unique, i haven't seen too many cars with that color around my way.
