Ok So i have an 85 GSL Beige Exterior, and that brown and uhh not so brown interrior. I was just curious what colors would look good on the exterior that would still match decently with the interior.

I'm not going to paint it for awhile just curious to know.

red or blue might go pretty well, maybe even black or a dark green. Is the interior brown, or closer to tan?

if it's brown, probably not much would go with it

 

Brown, but the seats have a little tan to accent the color.

 

I say a nice cream white

Black would only work on a light tan interior, same with red.

Cream white

 

Cream white = pretty much the color i already have.


But yea Black or Red would look really sweet.....

THanks for the ideas.

 

i used to have a brown interior in my old 85 gsl. i painted it yellow and it looked nice

 

My car is red with the brown interior. Looks good although not a big fan of red. The car use to be cream color. Now the paint is starting to chip everywhere so cream is starting to come through. Many colors can go with a brown interior. White would work and so would Black or Dark Navy Blue. In the future I hope to go with a jet Black or charcoal.

 

My car is the stock eggshell white looking color, but Im going to be repainting it 10th anniversery Crystal white. My interior is maroon. I think the stock whitish color would look good with brown/tan interior.

 

World Rally Blue Pearl!!!!! It's whats gonna be on my car.

Light cover.

 

^^^^ You love posting that picture don't you

 

Dude I love the blue!! now with the brown interior don't know about that.

Let's See: Red = Cool, but catches cops, but is the traditional sport car color.
Black = Cool, disappear at night, tint the windows black, but hot in the summer.


erg i'm leaning more towards black, but red is just so cool.... it's a toss up... i'll combine: throw a few racing stripes in, some random flames, and a giant rotor emblem on the hood. lol

 

Yes, i like that picture, but, brown...eh...

 

I love the WRX blue on the 1st gens

 

WRX blue is over-done. My friend has his Neon painted up in it. It is almost as if people think their cars will go faster if they were that color.

It does look good though.

When I get my car resprayed I'm going red. I like the orginal factory red of my 85', it often appears to look organe-ish in certain lights. If not, probably Mini Cooper Red. Ford GT? Ferrari Enzo?

I wonder if it'll make my car any faster?

 

I like the metallic orange/copper, and it would go with a brown interior.

 

yah go for a copper like the one on the nissan murano

 

what the hell? that's exactly what I was gonna do! has anyone done that color, and do they have pics? Anyway, you might want to read this thread also:
