What color would you guys recomend.
1.Yellow
2.White
3.Orange
4.Lime Green
5.Brighter Red
6.Deep Blue
7.Black
8.Bright Blue
9.Something like that new pontiac orange

or whatever else you guys want to suggest. I'm not going to be cheap on my paint, so suggest whatever no matter what. Thanks guys!

wow i must say, all those colors look amazing... if you would be able to get a yellow that was as fluorescent as the one in the first picture, thats the one id choose. like the evo from 2 fast 2 furious. by the way, IMO, you should go with "doo doo brown"

For some wild paint you should check out www.alsacorp.com They have some cool paints.

Personally I would go wit a House of Kolors Kandy or pearl coat. Maybe tangerine Kandy, or black with a red or blue pearl.

You can do some crazy things with paint. Be adventerous.

I really like the dark blue but I am also partial to anything blue.

 

[Dream On]

I will agree that the dark blue looks hot.

 

[ddavisaf]

House of Kolor Kandy Koat Cobalt Blue with the Silver base coat. My interior and your exterior would match.

 

[SnoopySLR]

I got the free information packet from alsa and would love to get that Eclipse paint from them. Black to white in the sun. I think I'm going to be ordering their test sheets as well as House of Kolors. I really want whatever I get to have flake in it, or something else thats original. I've got lots of ideas..... to many to choose from

 

[IMMORTALSPYDER]

Be careful of House of Kolors, you can't blend those pearl paints if you happen to scratch your paint/get in an accident.

 

[Zero Bar]

#6 or #7

 

[SnoopySLR]

The black is hot... With gunmetal colored flake in it... I want to keep the top black no matter what color I chose.

the bright red screems look at me,but if you didn't want looks i guess you wouldn't have cut your top off..i'd go red. did you ever get a full roll cage in that thing, or does it flex when you jack it up still?

Well I cut the top to enhance my driving experiance, but yeah it gets the looks. I got pics of my cage in my gallery

 

[wimploki]

hmm...that is a tuff call.

Keep n mind that it's not about the color...it's what you have under the hood. You may have the nicest looking color, but color alone will get you nowhere.

but if you really had to choose...go for the lime green. Fast n the furious style

 

[gibby]

I am very partial to #6 me likes. anywho white is aslo a good color.

 

[DarkSeraph]

#6 or #7

Agreed. Black is always sleek looking, but that's a good color of blue.

 

[HighPsi92GST]

5 6 or 7

The blue looks awesome though. Kinda like all the colors in a way !

 

[Tsi_User]

2, 7, 8

I swear 2ga talons came in almost that exact color of #8, my firend with a 2ga is the exact same color and it's great looking.

 

[gsxeclipsed]

Sorry i am really oldschool I guess.

Against dark paint like black tops I only like black and almsot blackish purple but there were a couple of Dare to be different colors to look at thrown in.

Black Orchid (1973 MGB roadster color, look at a pic in an MGB book at your bookstore.) like wildberry if it was layed over black. deep almost black violet, black in shade and has great deep highlights in sun.

or Plum crazy purple (Classic)


or HOK Cobalt blue

(it gets violet under street lamps and accentuates curves.)

 

[SnoopySLR]

Plum Crazy Purple... as much as I LOVE that color... not on a DSM.

 

[Wicked96GS-T]

I have to say that you should go with a deep blue like HOK cobalt blue, or Viper blue. Car looks sweet in any color though.

 

[dmorris05]

I like the Dark Blue.

 

[Wufei]

2 or 7...but get 7 to match your hood.

Hey Snoop, if you could do that to a 1G I would appreciate it, I am going to paint my 1G too and being able to see the same colors would be such a big help. If you can't though it isn't a big deal, if you can THANKS A TON!
