I have a 240 fastback which is i think painted the factory color "platinum blue metallic?" and its fading and isnt so good. I can get my car painted for very little if not free, so i need to think up what color to paint my car. I'm thinking either repaint the factory color, some sort of white, or some sort of blue, nothing too flashy. I'm wondering what color you guys think i should paint my car, and posts any pics of a good paint job. thanks.

My hatch is white, and I kind of like it, but if I'd get it painted it wouldn't be white. Everything shows up on the paint...especially brake dust. After an "enthusiastic" drive you can write your name in the brake dust on the side of the car. (Yes, my brakes are adjusted correctly)

I'd get a dark blue metallic if I had to do blue. Out of all the colors I'd paint it the charcoal metallic found on the RX-8. That color looks awesome.

Some kind of off-white color...like that pearl white color that the 300zx's used to have...or Silver, Silver is definately a hot color..

Your paint is awsome I like the black top and the black carried from the hood around the car. I guess I got a good in person view this weekend when I came and picked up the silvia hood.

That 2-toned Sil80 looks good...I also like how the black was brought down a little bit...how do yall think that would look on a hatch with the pop-ups, CF hood & CF headlight covers?
