Nogaro Blue ('00 Audi S4)
Daytona Blue (03 350Z)

I have some rx7 wheels on 2g red eclipse... Would you powdercoated them in Bronze or leave them as silver? Please help! :thumb:
 
I actually like bronze on a red 2G. I wish I could find the pic of the Red2G with the bronze TE37's.

No offense but, maybe you should get a few ideas from the other couple dozen "what color should i paint my car?" threads floating around on this site....

No offense Dick. But i have my ideas. i was just seeing what everyone else thought.

Well "Dick"...everyone else has already gave their thoughts. They give their thoughts probably 3 times a week in similar threads and if you weren't so lazy and took the initiative to actually do a search, you would get your answers AND not waste everyone's time or the sites bandwith with this repitive subject. Goodluck, and just remember, lime green with orange and yellow flames is really cool.:rolleyes:
 
Black over white, of course duh.

That orangey-cinnamon red (that someone else will know the real name of) is _sharp_, and (since the brain operation) I really like that bizarre lime green metallic.

Minden Silver is terrific, but I'm biased because I really like the whole Jacks Valley area (Charley Varrick fans get it).

_Someone_ will think _every_ color is best, and someone else will explain how full of shit they are. That's why they make so many.

An interesting curiousity that comes up every so often is _how_ do factories get subtle shades of colors just "right"? There has to be fifty kinds of silver, but I've never seen one original to a car that looked "wrong".... while a repaint with a different company's shade (the silver they used on Datsun roadsters had either a bronze or a blue tint to it, depending on the year and code) never seems to fit the same.

I don't know that I've ever seen a black car that didn't look good.

And you thought it was a simple question.
