Nice to hear that the J30 rocks. My 94 J30 has its paint dried out on the front bonet & has bruises on the front fender. actually the color is "Beige Pebble Metallic clearcoat".

I am actually thinking of a new paint job, I would love the pearl white, but it costs a lot, so could you guys suggest me some nice color..

Thanks,plumix

the original J's green looks amazing when new (at night it looks black, and in the morning it is a very nice looking color), that is what i have......

i'm also due for a pain job, same problem area (hood and front bumper, and little blemishes on the sides and rear)

i have only seen one that is pearl white, and it is just something else, i fell in love with the color (i saw it in Ottawa Canada with the gold package, and the gold package makes a big difference), that would be the only alternative color if there is $$ left after that crazy tt swap that i'm working on.....

i'm sending the car for paint at the bigining of spring (that way it looks new all summer long), and the only two colors i'm considering are primarely the pearl white (with the availability of cash), or keeping the same color (original J green) if not much cash is available

its obvious that pearl white J30 has lot of lovers. but its tricoat, so its expensive...

The 1st color on my list is the original J30 green(its kind of dotted green/black.).but I have seen so many colors there, could not even able to tell the difference between two kinds of green & black..

is there any way I can refer to the original J30's color..?

i really like the dark green, however i would it make darker, so that it looks green only on direct sunlight....

Pearl looks GREAT on the J...
