My 92 240sx is currently aztec red which is the oem colour that it came with. Anyways i was really thinking of repainting but i wanna keep it red. So far i have decided on these 2 reds..... should i go with the 350z red which is called 'Redline' or the mazda rx8 red which is called 'velocity red metallic', i really like both but i am still not sure of which one to go for. I like the rx8 metallic red becoz it doesnt look like its a metallic red untill u look at it carefully..... but i also really like the 350z red becoz it just stands out and its such a deep red. Any suggestions and comments would be appreciate.... or i could go with a darker metallic red. lol

Suggestion-Make up your own mind. A group of strangers on the internet should not have to make your decisions for you.

Comment-I hate Threads like this, but for right now, I see no reason I should lock it.

Yeah i know, but it's just a hard decision. I have already narrowed it down to just 2 paints. Anyways, the main reason why i wanna repaint it is because i have quite a lot of dings and dents and i wanna paint all my oem aero along with it too. And i'm getting all the rust fixed for a really good price because a friend of mine is opening a bodyshop, so yeah.

And just for the record, i have only been pulled over once and that was because i was speeding. I haven't been pulled over for no reason just because my car is red.

.....but when a mod makes practically the same damn thread (except wheel color instead of whole car) it's all good right?

Anyways, I like nissan redline or ford laser red.

My personal suggestion is "period blood" red... Look into that

Now be original and pick a new color.

I wasn't asking for a color out of the blue.... I failed Elementary art and don't know what colors match green. I wasn't asking what color. I was asking which. :fawkd:

Never said I agreed with it, did I. Don't try and put words in my mouth.

Probably the best suggestion in here, goto the paint store and look in the color book, there's endless type's of red you can get that nobody even know's about.

My car is painted redline. It is identical to a fresh coat of Aztec red. I even use aztec red touchup paint.

I would think some type of Orange/Red color. Thats a very light red.

thanks yeah i know i use to work at a bodyshop and ppl would come to me and ask for colors... i just tell them.. go to the paint store and look thru the binder and brochure of what they have....and have them mix half a gallon...of what they want... and ill spray what ever they need painted.. plus have some extra... for touch ups and fixes when they crash...
