The time has come to paint my car.

I have a silvia front end pmd side skirts and no engine.The body has been sandblasted and preped. Know is the time to paint.

What is the best color to paint it.

Personally I would like a two tone like the factory silvia in dark colors, black, blue, gray, silver

what would the best choice be and if you have pics let me see them

i like a more metallic pink color than the yashio. their pink is a little too high on contrast for me.

if you want a clean factory look i like the stock r34 or 350z/g35 black. forgot the name was it jetblack or super black? it looks like a mirror though after its waxed nicely. i found this on cardomain.com there are nicer pictures out there but i cant seem to find any http://memimage.cardomain.net/...l.jpgthat's what i'd like the 240 to look like. get such a nice paint job and remove all badges on the car and you'll be able to confuse people. you can call it a 2005 nissan ____ lol. cant believe how many people call the 240 a skyline though

if you want a jdm two tone look you can do the lime green two tone or the blue/silver i think it looks okay.

I'd go with metallic color or a 2001 Mercedes blue.. If you go with black have fun spending hours trying to get the swirls out of the paint. If you have the money you can go with a pearlescent color. Other than that go for a lighter color like Sliver or even a gunmetal Sliver.

Mercedes Blue

Every time I see Z32 seats, they remind me of airplane seats. I say you paint the car jet black.
