View Full Version : looking to paint car


08-12-2005, 01:52 AM
my 240 has accumulated lotsa dents and stuff, and i have a 180sx body kit sitting in my garage, so as soon as i get my sr swap done (which im gonna go take a look at tomorrow :wiggle: ) im looking to get a paint job... but i cant decide on a color. i have the fn01rc in bronze so ppl told me go black, but i was also thinking a pearl white would look nice. then i saw jdm rice s13 where its 2 tone, with the top in black and bottom half in red which looked real nice. i just wanted your guys opinions and maybe some pictures with the colors to help me out... and nothing flashy to get me pulled over heh.

btw mines a s13

thanks

Does your mom pick out your shoes?

Check out the picture thread for ideas. Pick what you like, not what we like.

He's just asking for suggestions, stop bitching at the guy.

If it were me, I'd go with black or white, just because you can put essentially any color wheel on a car of either color, and have it look good (except white wheels on a black car, no dice).

I think white is especially cool because wheels painted any color (i.e. blue TE37 mags, red Advan SA3R's) look good on a white car.

If you want something more unconventional, I'll suggest the following paint colors:

-Silver Moss (97-98 S14 color, my car is silver moss)
-"Brickyard" (350Z purple-ish color. Awesome with black or bronze rims)
-"Jade Green Metallic" <---05 RSX color, my gf has an RSX this color. It's hot.

If you need a paint shop here in the area let me know, there's a shop we use that does great work here in S. El Monte.
