if you were buying an s14 what color would be your desire? im painting and selling one so i want to know what color would sell best. ill probably do a stock color and go with the 50 dollar paint job i couldnt get the poll to work but if someone could post one for me that would be great

the more money you put into the paint job, the more the buyer will see you've put time time and effort into the car. I've done the $50 paint job on my track car, cause i didn't care how it was going to look. I think if you at least go to a One-day Paint & body. It would look a lot more appealing to the buyer. just FYI.

some pics of mines.






if i had to do it again. i wouldve saved and had a pro a paint it. it came out okay though.

to answer your question though, I like Black.

not painted and factory color. No one really wants a car thats been repainted a factory color it raises eyebrows about its history. If you paint it, you should just go for something different and tell people you just wanted a different color and the car hasn't been totalled out and fixed.

not bad for a $50 paint job

chmercer

my two choices for a 240 would be

black

or

chamelion

Unless your car is multi color leave it stock oem paint even if it is faded. When you paint it with $50 paint and it does not come out nice, you could have gotten more if you left it alone.

Whatever color is in the door jambs and engine bay. Unless you plan on doing an expensive and labor intensive color change it will look like shit if everything is mismatched.

it originaly wasnt any real color when i bought it, it was a sort of sea green with lots of bondo.
right now the front looks like this;


but the back looks like dis;


so i figured i should just repaint the whole thing, my brother actually did that job but hes off in some other state for a while.

NSR250

how about something like this

2ilvia

ummm. no but thanks! i still want to just do the rustoleum roll on paint. it sounds exciting. how does TEAL sound?

How about you do what makes the most sense:
1) Finish the blue paintjob that who in the fuck ever started
or
2) Go back to OE color.

... most people are not going to lay out a boatload of cash to acquire a car whose history they might find questionable or have a hard time confirming.

ok ill do the roll on paint RIGHT. i cant finish the current paint cause its done good and i will screw the rest of it up if i try using an air gun.
maybe i should let it sit out in the rain for a few more months, unpainted...

Chernobyl

Black, White... those usually sell pretty well. Nice neutral colors.

Charcoal gray would be awesome, IMO.

S14DB

Maybe you should get a clue and have a professional handle it for you.

if you're selling the car dont bother with painting it... 240s sell pretty well without paint and it might save you time and trouble... I bought my 240 with a ghheeeetttooooo asss rattle can job and I've regretted it ever since cuz i'm the one who had to sand it down primer it, get crap off all the trim, replace trim, remove overspray.... but then again i probably wouldnt have paid much more for a 240 with a nice paint job

Maybe you should just hand over the car to someone with style. Why would you let a SE S14 sit in the rain unprotected or use roll on paint? chmercer for the win on this topic. Get em dude! *a
