Has more of a purple tint to it in real life though. Pictures just can't seem to capture it.
Now that is an awesome blue color on the 7.

most colors look ok on fc's as long as its not some sort of bright, 'festive' color. i really like mazda's brave blue mica, very dark but light enough to show off the car's lines, espically if you get a little flake mixed in. red of course is good and white looks nice too. yellow is ok if you have some hp to back it up as it is the color that will get you the most attention but if you dont youll just look like a silly ricer. black does tend to dull out the car's lines but it doesnt make the car look stupid.

I had trouble with my 91NA paint. It was factory white. It was flaking off and I had to get it stripped to the metal. I put a Lexus pearl white on it. It sure works for me.

BMW makes a color I think would great on an FC. It's a Mix between black and blue called Carbon Black. My dad owns an M5 in this color, and it's really unique.

You can really see the blue better in the sun, but look where the flash hits the car.

I say white looks the best. I am gonna paint mine crystal white. Don't jock though...hahah...jp, but silver is also a good color. Red does go, but I hate red cars and reminds me of muscle heads. Right now, I have the stock Navy blue.

I like metalflake green and black.. But I'm biased Actually, i've always wanted to shoot a car with the same style metalflake I used on my FC, but in electric blue. For my dad's FB, we're using teh same style, but we're going for a dark burgendy color (rotor on the hood, in gloss black) should be cool

Talking

Infini IV winning green or whatever the black-green paint that or White. I mean I love black and Red 7's but I see them a lot more. I am hoping to get the winning green color sprayed sometime next year.

I have a black tII and i love it! i am going to get it repainted because it isnt the best paintjob right now, whoeve painted it before didnt prep it right i think, you can see all kinds of swirl marks on it. when i get it repaitned im going to have the shop strip it to the metal *or i might do that*, prime, then put a DAR DARK green coat on, then im going to have a think black ontop of that. so it looks like that bimmer with the blue, except green. maybe make it less noticable though. and no metal flakes. here is a pic of my car http://www.cardomain.com/id/onelife2stories

Black is back

I had the same problem as Batguano, my old factory white is peeling off and this is the whole reason that I'm going to take this car apart and start from the ground up. I really like the BMW black/blue color. I think this is a good fc color for me, or a high metalic flake black, flat black or even the idea of the black/white Jap Police car (I could even put the blue and red lights in the passing lenses ) none the less, you guys gave me some good ideas for the paint. thanks

maybe you should beat out the dents before you paint it
I think it should be grey primer w/red primer flames before you put real paint on it

After driving the streetported single I don't think toast would be a good word to use unless you are gonna use something like the rayguns in old *** movies that just disintegrated everything it was pointed at
