What Color Would You Paint Your 240

[-E-]

If you could change the color on your 240 what color would it be?

[Dousan_PG]

my plan. s14a purple/bluish color..like what grant has on certain body panels of his car! (what's that color called and color code??)

this is for a 92 s13 fastback
either that or midnight purple or a blue

definately want an OEM color.

[SimpleS14]

Same color my car is now...Blue Emerald (FN2). It's mainly green, but has shades of purple and blue at certain angles...only available on the 95-96 models.

I wanted Starfire Blue (BN6), but after seeing the new front end with new paint I decided to save up and recoat the car (after getting a bodykit).

[ridebmx]

i would go a blue or a green, man i havnt looked at paint samples in forever, but i would most likely use house of kolor paint, and make it all pro, but i am happy with my plain old black, the reason i didnt do what i said above is becuase i want to draw the least attention to myself, thus why i never purchased a body kit...

[Yoshi]

"Black Rose", I've only seen it on one car (a neon hahahahaha), it looks metallic black 90% of the time, but when the light hits it just right, it looks deep DEEP crimson (barely). By far the coolest color I've ever seen, very low key, and none of that pearly crap.

[drift freaq]

Metallic Gun Metal Grey with a hint of purple in certain light. sounds weird I know but it actually looks dope

[-E-]

I wanna go with this color when I change my front to a 97

[ridebmx]

the above post...........man that color is nice as hell.......*drool*

[Kareem]

EONE914 that's a pretty sweet shade of red.

[ridebmx]

doesnt look bad on the 240, i would want a differnt color tho after seeing the pictures, maybe like a bluish green color, light blue with candy apple green....that would look nice

[CoasTek240]

i want either a really lushish candy apple red, simple green (same color as a crayola crayon), or midnight blue...Color made by a local paitn shop, it's black with a blue hue to it. looks nice.

for now i'm fine with my maroon and black primed car.. hahaha

[-E-]

kandy apple green

[ridebmx]

dude that one is nice as hell too...but i would like the base to be a light blue with the candy apple green over it, and then the million coats of extra hard clear...that way i would never have to worry about scratches going through the clear, i could just buff all the scratchs out...man i hate scratchs so much, no matter what u do you still get scratches...its so irritating...



EDIT...on a side note...got any pictures of a s14 with camo...haha...i would be curious as to what that would look like...:cool: :cool:

[Nismo240SX]

well, i'm soon to be putting on my body kit, and having my car painted... and i'm in need of a new color. my car is blue now, but i think i want maybe a s15 blue, or a dodge viper blue. if you guys could, could ya post some darker blue colors on some s13s? and do you have a clue how i could get some paint codes from the s15? thanks.;)

[240SX2S15]

The paint I would get would be like that majestic crap camolieon or something but I say an Integra with a silver changing to black paint. Walk up it looks black walk down silver it tits.

That is almost the color that I am painting my car. Mine looks more like a apple Jolly Rancher though, the pic looks more olive.\

My paint is House of Kolor tri-coat:

Lime Gold-Kandy
Clear

Extremely bright

Anyone have any info on varations of white. Like white with a red pearl or some crap like that?

[Nismo240SX]

EONE914... that car is about the same color as my car now, but mine's a bit duller and darker. do you think if i had it painted factory color with a pearl over it, would make it almost s15 blue? thanks.

[uuninja]

Black, always black. Some day I will own a car that is not black, but that day is not today.

That combo is called pink :o

[ridebmx]

you can goto a collison shop and ask them from the paint code for a s15, doubt they would have it tho, you could also find someone online with one and ask them for the paint code, just look tho paint books you should be able to find one the same pretty easily...

on a side not, my car is all super shiny in the below picture but the wheels are all grimmy and full of brake dust, it looks all funny...just thought i would mention that

Edit* Pink haha, i should have painted mine pink with neon green slime, like half and half...then i could be a real "tuner"

[-E-]

:)EONE914... that car is about the same color as my car now, but mine's a bit duller and darker. do you think if i had it painted factory color with a pearl over it, would make it almost s15 blue? thanks.

Your best bet would be to look around at other vehicle manufacture paint coeds. I think the Maxima has a similar paint color you are looking for

[HaLo]

It think I would keep it Pearl White.. the color is amazing when done properly.

[KoukiS14]

I love the cobalt green pearl my 97 is now, don't get me wrong... I'd paint it the same color in a second. BUT... I've always been fond of grey, silver, and white (not 3 colors goin' on at once though)

Couple OEM colors I like: northstar white from Mitsu (dunno the Chrysler name for it) Kind of a very very light grey, tectite grey from MB, BAYSIDE BLUE *drool*, hmm. .gawd there's a lot of 'em...

I LOVE the starfire blue, and in keeping with the blue color... I'd have to go for bayside blue over all those... overdone in a skyline maybe... BUT... =)

-Rob

[misnomer]

If I were to repaint my car I have now, I'd just give it a coat of factory metallic red. I'm not as into the looks as most of you here :P

now, if I were buying a new car or bent on getting a color I wanted, it'd prolly be silver, blue, or some derivative thereof.

[Evil S14]

Personally I like the graphite grey pearl from a Lexus IS
and if u want a dark blue green go with Montego Blue from an FD

im actually painting my bike Graphite Grey pearl:cool:

[xS1LV1Ax]

I dont know about all of you, but i like 99 Honda SiR Rust Orange. It is a realy dark metallic orange (kinda like rust). It is almost the exact color on the Signal S15........
Look in Sig...like that!!:)

[kandyflip445]

Is there a Kandy Apple Blue? Pic?(doesn't matter what kind of car...)

[transient]

Although the upkeep is horrible, I'd still keep my car black.

[ridebmx]

yeah black does suck ass, not only do you have to deal with the tiniest scratches being visiable, but you also have to deal with water spots when you wash it, using a shammy once a week gets kinda old, and if you go threw the car was your car doesnt even come clean...it sucks...but i guess if you like black then you just have to deal with it

[240fluke]

That red from the first Kouki S14 pic is sweet. Does anybody have a color code for that? I also really dig on the new REDLINE color on the new 350Z. My friend has it (he's still trying to figure out if anybody took delivery any earlier than he did for his Track model, he thinks it was the VERY first one delivered to Northern California, possibly North America) anyways, that color is fricking BEAUTIFUL in person. If you haven't seen it yet, just wait until you see it IRL. I don't always dig on red's, most cars don't really look right in red's, but that red is amazing.

Other colors I would go with would be, 1) the Dark Blue off of the new M3's, anybody know the color codes for these things? It is awesome, very dark, but very shiny, 2) Dark Forest Green, 3) Gun Metal Grey, 4) Black Pearl (off of the Skylines) 5) Super Black (it is on my car now and you just got to love the way this thing SHINES when it is clean).

[adey]

one of two choices for me: **** brown (yes, I'm serious) or a dark, flattish grey. :o If I see any of those colors around, I will personally give it a nice long key because I know you stole my idea from here. :eek: ... got that?!

[RYNO_s13]

My Stepdad used to have an accord, I forgot the name of the color, but it was Graphite something. Really dark gray. I've been obsessed with that color since I got my 240. With the light and dark gray interior you get a sweet monochrome effect. Plus, looks pretty decent with carbon fiber

[Stee Flo]

I really like the colors for the 350Z. Especially that copper orange color.

[-aishiteru-]

Concorde grey, which is the color I have now or Kandy apple red.

[Apparition]

When you paint your car any of these exotic colors, are you paying out your ass to get them? Like is it cheaper to get white or black, rather than to get like kandy apple green. That color is wicked.

[Tubed4evr]

I did have my car painted this summer and I kept it a beautiful white. I waited 6 months to find the car I wanted (93 , hatchback, white, manual, low miles . . . man I was picky) White has always been my favorite color on a 240.

It depends on how hard it is to find and the availability. Some shops cost more for custom colors.

To repaint it the same color is usually like 1-2k. Changing the color would usually be from 3k-6k.

I concur. I wanted a white S14 to replace my black S13 HB! I love white or black, but white I think is as good, but easier to take care of. Plus, when you go out at night people can still see your car and you can still be a pimp haha

I ALMOST had one, and it was a good price... but someone bought it right before I was heading to TN, so I found another one there. I like the green alright, no complaints.. darker, but doesn't show dirt near like my S13 did.

[s13cruzer]

Your just mad cuz its True. that cars purple and you know it :p mm If I paint mine I want it that dark grey pearl from the IS300 but I'll probably keep it black :)

[DarkRaptor42]

Dodge Viper Blue, thats what I was going to paint my car but now im going with daytona blue b16. Same color as the 350z

although I do like the color of my dads 350 (silver)

Someone bring a video camera, because the next time I see him, I'm kicking him in the balls... For the record, the car IS NOT purple, It's blue, and there are pics on my website.

[thelinja]

I'd paint it bling bling Gold, then trick the interior with crushed purple velvet..Nah, I'd go with a nice metallic gunmetal color.

[silviachick]

Either Black with a hint of hunter green, or a shade between gun metal and silver

[Nismos14]

emerald blue with silver flakes, or pearl blue mmMm :D

[fodive]

R33 midnight purple on an S14a for me, nice set of Work Emotions, mmm. KA-T, naturally.

(wishful thinking for matts next project car)

[burgy240]

Well, I like my gunmetal paint because it is simple and looks mean in person but I Love ....dare I say it....championship white with a carbon fibre or a black hood. I really like both the Kandy appled colors though. I would like to repaint mine( in sig) a deep blue/purple with the CF hood and either bronze rims or black rims.

kiss my tail pipe you and that purple mobile cant catch me

ooh and I like silviachick's suggestion. the 1990 Lexus LS400 hade a color called black jade that was sweet looked dark emerald green in direct sun and black under any other circumstances. Moms had that color and I always liked it. not one of those retinaburning color changes but very subtle and oh so sweet. Phil should get some more purple and some black and try that out thatd be pretty cool..

[projectsilvia1]

i agree with drift freak gun metal grey is the ****...although i have a gun metal set of fake mugen wheels and they have a little bit of brown flake in them and man i would like to have my car that color. But if i had the choice i would paint my car the same color as it is....pearl white.

[Black240sx]

I would leave mine black

[KoukiS14]

yeah cause "Emerald green mica pearl flake with color changing additive 240sx" would be a long ass name to have on here. =)

Yeah, black S14s are AWESOME. (so was my S13 hehe)

I think the blue on the car is the color that came on the 96-99 honda civic si. That color is so bad ass when you hit it with "uv" light its yellow and when your hit it with some fog lights it turns green. I'm not to sure of the real name or the code but i'm sure that color came on the civics.

[boro240]

the civic Si blue is called electron blue, and i dont think thats it. it looks similar but not exactly. its a custom color i believe.

yea, i got the same answers. its not the Si blue for sure. its mixed color

[Kitahara]

I've always loved blue, especially "TV2" but I think it's too easy a solution, so to speak. It's too common, and too many people like it. If I were to paint my car right now, I'd consider green, yellow, and white in that specific order. Green, because not many people have green cars (not including forest green) and it's a pleasant "intermediate" color like blue. Yellow is a bit loud, but still unique and interesting. White is simply CLEAN and I love it.

The green that I like the most is either the YoungVersion 180sx green or the new "James Bond" Jaguar racing green. The yellow I like the most is Blaze Yellow which is a limited edition color for the Subaru WRX. A mellow, lighter shade of yellow (almost seemingly possesing characteristics of white); It's simply sweet.
