I love the blue on that first lotus you put up. And I would go with some gloss black rims with a lip painted to match the car. That would be sexy as hell imo.

The second one is close to my car, and i really like it.

Single stage black, then polish it to a mirror finish, then clear coat, then polish that That's what I'm gonna do in the next couple months.

im in the process of painting my 2g gsx. I decided to go with super white paint code is 040 i believe. Its a really clean bright white!! I was also thinking about turning it into a tri stage by adding little bit of pearl to make it look alot cleaner.

 

[EclipseGst1992]

Thanks guys keep em coming

Honestly, i think the 'Laser Blue' would look AMAZING on your 2G. Or any 2G in general. Laser blue with gold, black(has to be the right rim for the car if you went with black), or bronze rims would be my choice.

 

[GMCometh]

Go with white. I owned a Dover White Pearl 3g before I purchased the GSX. It's a beautiful color. The paint code is: W69

 

[Silver99OZ]

I like both of the blues on the Lotus. I always liked the blue that comes on Acura RSXs, the darker blue.

 

[DSMTyson]

I would give my left nut for this car in this color. Not kidding ...

 

[scooby21043]

OP....Arent you selling your car?

 

[EclipseGst1992]

Haha yeah I was! But I am now getting it fixed after it had it's engine harness cut and ecu stolen with dsmlink and want to keep it because I have so much money into it and I won't get my money back. I have gold wheels with a polished lip now.... Same ones on the scion.... And my lug nuts are very similar to the laser blue.... What do you guys think? Would it look good?

 

[frostyzx]

I would love to see it with the laser blue, especially since you have the matching lug nuts already.

 

[GMCometh]

The laser blue picture didn't show up the first time I viewed this thread. That color is amazing!

 

[97 DSM Gs-T]

IMO i would go white, its possibley the cleanest color on eclipse. besides red of course

I'm saving up for painting mine quicksilver pearl from the 98 supra. There's a forum I posted in awhile back that has the pics. Best color I've ever seen on a 2G.

 

[EclipseGst1992]

I'm liking this look.... These are my rims by the way.

If I were you I would save yourself some money and headache and repaint it blue. (if that is the car you are painting in your avatar)

 

[hurricanecris24]

Painting a car is a hard decision. Trust me I'm stuck right now painting my car its between white and cobalt blue.

 

[EclipseGst1992]

Yeah I'm thinking blue but idk if I want the magnetic blue, ebp from hondas, the kahuna blue on s2000s, or viper blue. Oh by the way... I was going to paint the car cobalt blue from house of color..... They priced me at 795 for materials....

 

[standard235]

Hot pink yo

 

[EclipseGst1992]

^^^ that was among my top choices. But I felt it would clash with t he gold

 

[kenuwine4g63]

Nah man get BMW black..."Klassischschwartz black." Then put it on some Ro_Ja formula sevens with tinted windows 20%. Tint the tails not too much(smoke them) then do the retro fit HID conversion with 8k or 10k bulbs. You'll be driving sex all day

 

[SoaringEagle]

Go with the gunmetal gray look. Throw some bronze or gold rims on there and that's all you need.

That laser blue doesn't look too bad either. I recently bought a 95 TSi awd and the paint is in really bad shape the guy sprayed the half the drivers side with primer and that's it...

I was thinking of keeping the two tone black roof and the rest white, or just the complete car a nice gray color.

the best color for white is called hot white or white hot. its from a pontiac g8 2008. its an off white. its super clean..


blue is cool too but calls for a lot of attention..
