Hey every1...Just asking every1's opinion. I'm planning to get a paint job. But, I'm not so sure what color.

I already bought the Cobalt Blue from House of Kolor. It kinda looks like the Corvette Blue. Better yet, Dan Chin has a link in the "links" section up top. It kinda looks like that.

But, what do you all think of it? Too flashy?

If not the blue I was thinking of a silver or black (stock Nissan paints), it just looks more aggresive.

Oh yea, my car is "kitted".
CWest front and sides, Bomex t3 rear under spoiler, MSports widebody front fenders and rear overfenders, and mated w/ a bootleg 180SX spoiler from eBay. couldn't afford the authentic spoiler :bash: . But it's still nice!!

Everything else is authentic. :wackit: Now my wallet is empty...

The body work is underway in my garage...I'll post pics if I get a chance...

With that in mind...Let me know all....

I like the Grey on the 350z, Silverstone I think they call it. Also came on the S15, color looks awsome IMO.

Black is always good and the SIlver would be cool too, more classy.

You allready have blue paint, you allready have a flashy looking car. Put 2 and 2 together. The blue will look aggressive but, your car seems to be going that route anyway. Run with it. It should look good.

That's because we don't wanna throw up every time we see our own cars. :)

I am hoping to do mine in the 350z Brandywine Burgundy color. That should be nice, not too flashy. My buddy truc just painted his 92 SE-R that burnt orange color. He'll be getting some tickets for sure.

One concern I had was the House of Kolor's sensitivity. My bro's car has a Candy Purple w/ Silver Pearl and Clear Coat. It looks great but it's very sensitive. A couple of rocks and ur screwed...

I'm no stranger to racing n such, so I slide around on pavement, rocks and smoke all over. My stock white is already charred and I'm wondering if the cobalt blue will hold up. That's why I was thinking of a stock paint...Not sure which one...I like the classic colors like the super black and S15 gun metal (if i were to drop the cobalt idea).

I'd go with midnight blue, thats what I'm hoping to get for my 240 when I get around to it.
