What color to paint my car? [Merged 4-8]

[2-0turbo]

The new 350Z has a really nice blue. I saw one the other day at the dealer and fell in love. I am planning on repainting at some point and had ruled out a color change due to the work. I am really liking that blue though!

 

[doug]

Yep, that blue is nice, as is that Mustang Cobra blue mentioned earlier.

 

[TommyTheCat]

Electron Pearl Blue. It's the Honda blue color.

Hey, I was just wondering if anybody ever thought of using color change paint for their interior pieces? Have you ever seen pics of it being done before?

 

[chrysler kid]

yes i've seen it done, but the paint costs an arm and a leg. Its chameleon paint and is very very expensive. I wouldnt suggest doing it yourself unles you are experienced at painting, cause if you screw up your out of alot of money

They sell a spray paint kit for it in automotive stores. It's like 3 can's of paint you spray in layers. I've seen it at Advanced Auto, Autozone, Wal-Mart, etc. etc.. Around $10 I believe. But personally, I think it's tacky.

 

[JJay]

I completely agree. Looks great, but cost a fortune to get the stuff and will only look good if professionally done.

 

[DSMRevolution]

Cool sig! Yea I do have quite a bit experiance painting. Did you have any pics of it done? thanks

 

[Davidle]

just paint it like a rainbow, that way you have different kinds of colors.

j/k

 

[talonted_one]

my valve cover is painted with that stuff along with various other things...it isnt very durable just to let you know

 

[crashed97tsi]

the RX-7 blue, I think it's called mica blue. There's a video floating around with that color rx-7 drifting. It ooks soooo nice

 

[chrysler kid]

no pics, its a kid at my schools blazer and it scratches real easy like mentioned above, and i agree that it looks tacky

 

[DSMRevolution]

ok thanks for the reply everybody. I dont think I will use it then. I need durability!

 

[greathuskie]

i had my interior highlighted with the Mirage system from autozone, costs 20 dollars

it seriously looked very good but it just didnt match my whole theme that i am going for now

it was pretty durable though

 

[MY_Game]

I have it done, I have it around my cd player and so on and on my door handles on the inside of my door. I want to do more but those are just two pieces that i picked up from a guy that did them hiself and did a very good job. I will try to get pics tomorrow i think it looks cool and I have got a lot of compliments but the pic will only show one color of course.

 

[MY_Game]

Sorry about that I just looked at my gallery and realized that I have one already there. It is not the best picture but it goes from green to purple. Let me know what you think... I may be able to get more pics but my digital camera is acting weird.

 

[JWoodley]

if durability is a problem, couldnt u just "shoot" it with clear coat? or would that effect the color changing.... just a thought.

 

[jases91talon]

what color of 1g do you have. I want to get some unique paint job and i'm wonderin what would be the craziest color out there

 

[MyEclipse5]

Get BRIGHT GREEN with some TIGHT BLUE BIRD THINGY DECAL ON THE SIDE or not

 

[97GSTURBO]

Bright @$$ glow in the dark green!

It could get you in Super Rice, uh, I mean Super Street.

 

[out there]

i have two-tone black cherry metallic and silverish gray. i thought about buying a pair of those vinyl stickers for $10 off ebay a while back, they're like 10in long and made for the wheel well to make it look like silver flames are coming out. i just thought it would like pretty near with my colors...



then i decided that would be dumb

 

[PSI2HI]

I've owned:
93 white talon
90 red eclipse
91 black/silver talon
90 blue/silver talon
90 black talon
91 cherry/silver talon

And i like the white 93 the best as far as color wise go, doesn't show scratches/swirls like dark colors do. ANd it doesn't always look dirty...

I like the dark green 92-94 talons also. Im hopefully picking up a dark green 94 in a few weeks .

I'm going to get my car painted (finally) in the next 2 weeks. I'm wondering what color you think I should Paint it and whether to keep it the 2 tone ( black top) or all one color. Any feedback or pics would be very helpful. I'm thinking maybe all black because nothing looks better than a mint clean black car.... but nothing looks worse than a dirty black car either..... help please!

 

[MyEclipse5]

Bright green with a blue and white bird decal on the side

J/K
...get it black
