Hi... i am gonna repaint my 240sx fastback.. i wanted to get some views on which color is best for the fastback:help :ylsuper

Post by **JRB99** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

Mine is grey, but I think black looks the best...

I painted mine Chevy's Indigo Blue, and love it, i also like that Lexus blue on the IS300. For lighter colors, i would take white, i like the way white fits the fastback.. plus its a b**** to keep a dark car clean looking all the time

I like blacks and whites. But my favorites are deep metallic blues and silvers.

A light color with a pearl coat is the way to go.

My 240 is black and it looks like a beast, especially at night. Go with with black, IS300 blue, or civic si silver

How about that new baby crap brown color on the new civics!!!?(joke)

Ummm my car is red too, but I would paint it metallic or midnight blue.

F@$K!!!...my 240 is RED also.If I get it repainted, it would be a metallic gun metal color. Jubs180 has a good taste.:ylsuper

White looks clean and innocuous. Good color, less tickets than red.

Post by **InstantRice** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

white or a navy blue.

Post by **klorocks** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

i say blue all the way, i get more complements on my car than any other ive ever driven... most of the time its for the color.. i would send a pic, but you would all make fun, it still had the supra wing

oops!

I'm definately partial to black, as both of my cars are that color. A gunmetal/darker grey isn't bad either.

I dream of ultimately painting my car yellow or black, at least...does anybody know how much it would cost to paint my car black?

Post by **MaL!cEX000** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

Basically what mine is. Black with anthracite wheels.

I have been thinking of colors also to paint my fastback Here's a list of a few colors that I think work well with the 240:

-Pearl White-Black-gunmetal-IS 300, civic si, etc. blue

Post by **Jusepi97sx** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

painting a car can cost over $1000 easily, that i know of.. and that is a low estimate i think.. it can get close to a couple thousand from a quality body shop... and changing the color of your car is a tough task.. remember they have to paint all interiors along the doors and the engine bay if you want a complete job.... thats a lot of hrs of labor they'll charge you for..... :bandit

Post by **MaineExport** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

Any of the lighter colors with the pearl coat will look nice. I saw a Toyota P/U with a royal blue pearl paint job that had me more than slightly aroused :naughty But, they cost a lot! It is a three step paint process so you get hosed on paint and labor hours. It is so worth it though, totally the classiest paint job you can get.

Post by **MasterOFDrift** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

One word Maaco. Cheap decent job if you find a good branch. 700 for all exterior around and 50 for each door jam :pface . my friend just got his GSR painted it looked pretty nice except for a little mistakes on the spoiler, but they are going to fix it for him free of charge

Post by **AunVoh** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

i would love to paint my car black, but that isn't going to happen until the SR is in and i've got a 11 sec timslip

Post by **FrEaK** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

black...

Mine is in the shop, and i went with a dark lexus grey. The darkest color the 2001 IS300 came in. It was a tough choice between grey and blue, but I think the grey will compliment my interior nicely.

Post by **rc240sx** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 11:22 am

I think the blue on the IS300 is just magnificent.
