Dude go 2 tone!!!!!!!! Blue and black top, Also get a CF hoof and paint the wing the same color as the car. That would be the sexiest talon for sure. Dont forget the black wheels too! LOL
 
hahahaha Okay this thread just made me more confused....LOL...I think the blue would look good, but I hate to change the color of the car...even though I will be painting the Door jams, and engine bay so it wont look half assed. The Blue is a metallic pearl and its Much better looking in person than these pictures can show.

Whatever you decide to do, just remember that the roof and spoiler are supposed to be black. That's the way God intended.
 
i personaly think that 2gs look especially good in a real vibrant more like candy blue. it will lok like some thing out the sema carshow
 
but you could always have a 2 tone. if you paint the top, hood, and or the rear hatch it might not look as bad if you dont paint the engine bay

Yes For sure...If I go Blue I will Leave the Roof and Wing Black...I dont think Im going to do the hood Black or CF...I think the hoods look better painted IMO

Thanks for the pics Delta448 and Xtr3me, Thats almost exactly what I was imagining...with the 95 skirts on the 97 Talon In Blue with the Black top.

My blue paint is a lil darker than that but I think it might look GOOD!
 
I have found the color I want to repaint my 96 Talon. The paint has bad scrapes and scratches, and is in dire need of a new paint job. I have found the paint I am going to use: GMC Bermuda Blue. a metallic blue/teal paint. My question is whether I should paint the entire car the one color, or should I keep the top & "mole cricket wing" black, like it is done stock. I am having a very hard time deciding between the two, and would like a fresh set of opinions.

Note: I'll be taking off the DOHC Turbo sigils on the sides, as well as the Tsi AWD on the bumper. (Trying to maintain a sleeper car look, even with a new paint job.)

You have a talon and the black top and spoiler are one of the trade marks. I think you should keep the top black. My talon is all black but it came like that, I wanna paint my bottom a different color and keep the top black. Also if you are going to paint it, make sure it's a color you won't get tired of.
