Im having a hard time deciding what color to paint my car, for now I just want it to look clean. The drivers side is bubbly and pealing off bad, and there are a million scratches everywhere! Im just tired of it.

I would only consider black if you're getting every inch of red painted, otherwise it's gonna look tacky with black clear coated paint and dull red in the engine bay and door jambs. Besides, I think the pearl red is a beautiful color.

well, this paint is pretty close to free... It beats the maaco $500 paint. The actual pink I want is going to cost me 600 with my "homie hookup" Plus my car isnt even close to being done... . But hey I have a b-day coming up... car parts always make a GREAT present!

I hate bills!

Keep it the original color unless you don't mind the two tone look. Maybe spice the red up a bit with something darker or some metalic flake. The contrast wouldn't look bad against the original color.

Happy painting....

My suggestions (only if you're going all out):Nissan Titan Deepwater BlueInfiniti G35 Caribbean BlueTop Secret GoldTwo-tone silver on top, dark gray on bottom (Infiniti G35 Liquid Platinum and Diamond Graphite) Lexus LS430 burgundy (I don't know the name of the actual color but it's a really nice shade)

...if not, just go with the OEM color. Maybe throw in some gold flake in there.
