all right yall..i'm kinda in a bind. i wasn't gonna paint my car again for about 6 more months, BUT we had to pull my sr out to fix the mess-up we did while building, and while its out, we're gonna go ahead and start by painting the engine bay. my car is currently ppg cobalt blue. BUT i can change the color: here are the colors i'm thinking about. i really want you guys' opinions:

galaxy gray (gun metal)candy cobalt blue (again)"top-secret" gold (the color used on top-secret's cars)burple (candy blue-purple)candy oriental blue (the blue that comes on the suzuki gsx-r's)

like i said, i have til tomorrow to choose cuz my motor will be going back in my car this coming week....

do what you want, but i wouldnt paint it! i think its awesome as is, but if i were to paint it, it would be...maybe either that burnt orange type color(dark,not bright) ,the nissan maroon/gold , or black. ive always loved black cars with black rims with polished lips.

just my opinion.

whatever color you choose, i suggest you you pain it in a flat tone, rather than metallic. 95% of the cars on the road all have metallic shines. I think the flat look is much more appealling, and original.

well my car is already cobalt blue...i love the color, but for some reason i want it flashier....i think the suzuki blue is the nicest blue i've ever seen, even compared to the candy i have now.anyways, i decided on what i was gonna get, i'm about 90 percent on the suzuki blue. the other 10 is galaxy gray. :)

dude, I think top secret gold would look fukkin hot, mostly because I love that shade, and plus it would be really original. If you had that color with a carbon fiber hood and black or gold rims, it would be way too hot.

(well, the engine bay). its cinnamon gold...kinda like a dark copper but more gold (u get it). its a dope *** color. anyways, i'm remachining the lip on my wheels now and polishing the hell out of it. painting the middle jet black.getting rid of the aluminum wing i have and getting either the bomex slick-back, or the c-west slick back. lata guys, thanks for the opinions.
