Pretty self explanatory thread. My dad made a very, very generous offer to me and said based on my first year grades as a college freshman, I may be able to earn a free paint job for my zenki. That's awesome but now that I think about it idk what color I would pick. Show a picture of whatever color you would pick and if you can, find an s14 that color and post it. I really like the Ruby Pearl that's available stock but with metallic flakes in it. My hood is painted that color and i wish the rest was too.

I'm stuck between this color

Ruby Pearl sounds sexy. Of the 3 posted I like the second Blue silver color. But if I could choose anything, white is the #1 choice

See I like white cause its clean as fugggggggg but at the same time I also look at it and im just like ehhh its kinda boring. I'd like to do something subtle that wasn't a factory paint option that makes people wonder if they made s14 that color. Never was a silver one was there?

What is that color in the forst pic anyways, like Gold Chrome? It looks like that factory Zenki color except with a mirror finish. Isnt the 2nd color silverish with a hint of blue or something? I still like that the best.

Are you ganna get the door jams and engine bay painted?

I like the factory emerald color. Why silver?<---so plain.

Blueish zenkis look good IMO.

what color is your car right now? I bought daytona blue 350z paint to do me s13 which is factory red but after the purchase I realized I don't want to go through the hassle of a color change for the door jams and everything. if you aren't going to do the jams and everything just do a fresh coat of the original color

you should post a picture of your car currently. You cant have some baller a** paintjob with a stock car and have it look right. But, you can have a baller a** car with a color thats close to factory and it will still look great.

That Vibrant red is awesome. What wheels are you going to get or what do you have already? Even if you get a ballin a** paint job right now you can always fit the rest in later but having a plan in mind is better. Or if your paint is clean right now just have him buy you some wheels and coils haha.
