What color should I paint my 240?

[adey]

I plan on repainting my baby, I bought the car for the car, not for the color. While red's nice, I'm not a fan of being pulled over... so I plan on re-painting it. My current thoughts are either:

Grey (dark-- like the Audi TT grey)
Black (would like matte, but looks sketchy)
Dark, deep (midnight) blue
White (too many white 240s)
Bright pink with lime polka-dots.

I myself own a black '91 FB... and i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it to death. It's an aftermarket paint job - jet black.

If i were to repaint my 240, i'd go with white. I love white 240's so much.

Second choice would be "skyline blue".... im not sure of the actual name for it.

I believe your speaking of "Bayside Blue"

anyway.. &nbsp;I want toput a s15 conversion and paint my S13 Yellow Pearl.

PEARL WHITE or PEARL YELLOW saw a pearl yellow 3000 GT and it looked awesome!! but still love the pearl white more. BAYSIDE BLUE will go out of style in a few months or years so go with something that will look good for a long while.

No not pulled over for no reason.... but it will attract attention because its a bright colour and also the insurance will be higher on a red car because statisticly red cars get into the most accident..... thus the higher insurance..... kinda sucks to get charged abit more because your a statistic!

thanks, fresh240 for saying that for me. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;

These days it's really hard to come up w/ a paint job that's unique. or rather, that's unique and looks good.

Gunmetal looks good, and I like gunmetal rims, so maybe that's a possibility (basically grey) ...

What body color looks good with black rims?

[KiDyNomiTe]

Anyone know a website with a bunch of different colors and there names (or codes)

Also what does black cherry look liek (is it red or is it black or a mix)?

[sil80]

I plan on going with a dark blue w/ a black or carbon fiber hood w/ s15 conversion. I also want to get a black wing, something small.

Just my 36 cents. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>

Well I would go with black, I love black 240s, I am looking for one but probably will repaint it to a different black anyway.

Anyone got pics of a black S13 with black rims or any good looking rims?

[burn240]

Look at the website on my signature thats a ASS COLOR!! dont know the code but Im sure the person painting your car can figure it out if not well then get a new body shop!!!

[Takumi]

IS300 gunmetal grey or the metallic blue from the same car. Or maybe paint your car a dark bronze color? &nbsp;That'll look dope and I have never seen a dark bronze S13 yet.

Here's a far shot, but it's kind of a "girly" color, but you can try that VW Beetle vapor color. &nbsp;It's like a bluish white color. You can't go wrong with Honda S2000 silver either or that new light blue color they got now.

[dave2u]

If u are goin to change it i`d get something unique.
Look around and get something no-one else has got.
Theres a damson colour over here u see occasionally on SX`s and its nice.
Look for something different.
That white one in someones sig is nice tho. Esecially with the white weelz.

[my240likenoother]

do a 4 stage paint somthing crazy like
yellow with medium matalic and then a light candy red and a nice thick coat of clear
that would look mean <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':pissed:'>

[240sxracer]

hey kidynomite ill take a picture of my dads comet tomarrow then ill try to post it if i cant ill just email you a pic. he painted it black cherry

[samiam]

Try a 'deep' midnight blue, this blue actually gives it some depth to it. When you look into the color it looks like you can reach into the color. If not that then a granite grey, similar to the new dodge ram color, which has darker shade of grey than the Audi grey.

[AceInHole]

orange.... concept 350z orange.....

[Gismo R]

I think 240's look great in a dark silver. Maybe put a carbon fiber hood and some gunmetal wheels. That would look mean as hell. Just my $0.02

I'll let the pic in my sig speak fer me. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

Mine wuz Nissan red but now it's '01 Vette red. I love it!!

I wanted ta stay with sum kind of red so I wouldn't have ta paint the engine bay.
