I gotta agree. Try picking different shades like obsidian black pearl, ivory pearl, midnight blue metallic or silver pewter metallic... candy brandy wine for the win!

Thats what I'm going with.

[exitspeed]

Not sure what brand it is, but Jesse James' Viper is painted this sick Root Beer color...

[LloydXmas]

I have Dupont hot hues candy red over cosmic dust and it is very unique how it turned out. I would check out dupont's custom line. They are little higher in price but it is awesome paint. I do love some Kandybrandywine though.

these are some pics before i installed the badly needed apexi ex-v coils, and 5 lug w/z32 brake upgrade to rid myself of the shitty rims lol. The color stands out and looks better in sunlight. Sorry for the size i suck at posting pics.

[woodchuck]

go with the dark blue. it may seem played(jdm adds) but i don't see that many on the road.

[LloydXmas]

your car is very clean. So did you mix the candy coats together? Actually house of kolor paint is the cheapest around where i live, you should see the prices for dupont hot hues, but luckily i do body work and paint and get good deals.

[CA18_S13]

Bring back two tone paintjobs.

[mr_240sx]

not sure exactly how it was mixed cause it was done professionally...... but im pretty sure he mixed both of them together.

[CoasTek240]

Not sure what brand it is, but Jesse James' Viper is painted this sick Root Beer color...
Um, ive never seen that color. But we have a member of this forum that painted his S14 a rootbeer looking color. It so slick looking. A nice deep metallic brown color. And the reason i say 'rootbeer' is because his handle is Team Rootbeer.
Check it out.

[LloydXmas]

Yeah there is actually rootbeer candy coats, that is probably what he did his in. It's probably the only brown that i like.

[azndummie]

i dont really see dark blue s13's so it would be cool if there were more around

[illvialuver]

I have an idea, who cares? paint it whatever color you want and stop asking people what to do with yor car. esp something like paint? well fine paint it shit brown

[koshile]

green, OEM S14 color.. always been my fave.

[dorkjoey240]

Black would sick on nissan cars. :coolugh:

[streetracerb86]

Dark blue has always been one of my favorites so thats what i would go with

[EDacIouSX]

i say go with dark silver. haven't seen many of those and white is pretty played out for s13s + they don't look that good on hatches.

[mrs.drift33]

fast back-red
coupe-white or black

but then again depends what rims and bodkit you have of course

[thepest]

pearl white you cant go wrong

[airforceone451]

bayside blue ftw!!!!!!!!

Exactly, i posted pics to help you out man but its ultimatley up to you. If you let other people make choices on what parts go on YOUR car then where is the fun? Just my $.02

[LA_phantom_240]

Acura Olympia white ftw. Very beautiful color, it was on my 1990 Acura Legend. I love that color.

[240giiiirrrrl]

fresh clean black paint

[s13gold]

why only those 4 colors...

[klohiq]

if you buying the car, then I love black or red, but if you're painting (which you are) then why go with stock looking colors? you're going to pay just as much and it won't stand out. I'm not saying go for yellow or 350z met. burnt orange, but check out all the colors that are offered...if you have your heart set on those then go for them, but if I was to completely paint a car I would go with a non-OE offered color

I'll post some pics up later, but you could try some colors that were offered on various BMWs, most look pretty normal, but they are very different than the standard 240sx colors you see time and time again (white, black, red, silver, etc)

Carmon Red

there's some other colors I like, but that interlagos blue looks really nice to me

[hahahahaha]

hmmm pearl white with some kinda bluish mixed into it ... so that when the sun hits it it kinda looks like a sky blue ...

[KA-T_240]

pearl white, it would be alot less common then alot of other colors.

but in the end, its up to you.

[beatlust]

army green bottom half/ black top half. thats my s13 plan..

[diomedes]

I love black, but can't stand the heat. So I'm going have to say preal white.

[Max_PSi]

I say the new Nissan San Marino Blue found on the 07' 350Z.

[Rayne]

Leguna Seca Blue

[widegts]

I would say pearl white bro, I paint cars, and well many customers come back wanting a suttle paint after the crazy paints most of the time...

but then again... as long as the person doing up your car does it right, itll look good!!!

thats my 2 cents haah
