All depends on your color preference and how much cash you're willing to drop.

The cheapest and least hassle would be to keep it the color it is.

you could go silver, not to many silver 240s in the U.S. Or any one of the 350z colors are nice. I actually saw a nice purple color on a durango the other day that i liked.

I personally like the bronze/copper color that i've seen on a few new volvos. House of Kolors has enough colors to to keep you busy choosing for about 5 years too.......

IMO it depends on some other things on your car, mainly types of wheels, and color of wheels, but also what color engine bay (or are you getting everythign painted). Easiest is just painting it stock color, or something close.

But you can never go wrong with black :D

That's an exelent choice on that S13. But I bet it wouldn't look good on a basic/stock S14.

black w/ RED pearl would look very nice

as much as i want to do the pink, i think my car isn't fast enough for it. what about the lexus gunmetal on the is300? or another gunmetal type color?

Dunno the color. It's a little to spraycan-with-clearcoat for me. Get something unique if it's going to be custom. I like the dark green of that one drifter's 240.

im going with the stock maroonish red for my coupe, but i'm throwing in a black glow to make it a little richer

I vote to keep the existing color, or a very similar shade of it unless you just dispise your current color. It'll be cheaper, easier and look better overall (no different colors when you fold the seat down or look in the engine bay if it itn't black, etc...)

I'm a big fan of the RX-7 Spirit R's paint. If you're thinking about a gunmetal-type color, you may want to consider Mazda's "Titanium Silver Metallic".
