Well I'm going to be bring home a new T2 shell next week. The very first thing I want to do is get it painted. So I was looking for thoughts. Here's what I've come up with so far;

Black - Never go wrong with black.

White - Looks great on S5 nose...questionable on the rest of the car.

Red - So overdone. Don't need anymore 'red car tickets' anyway.

Orange/Yellow - Already have an orange race car...looks to racey and attracts too much attention

Green/Like British Racing Green - I dunno. I've never seen a green FC. Anyone got pics???

Blue/Montego maybe? - I don't know. I've never been a giant fan of blue on a sports car since it seems blue is such a pacifistic color.

What else guys??? Opinions and pics wanted!!!

Thanks,
-Jayson

 

i would love to see montego blue FC

 

What about the RX-8 Blue, that would look nice

 

Like you siad, you can't go wrong with Black.

 

montego blue, i dont think brit racing green looks great on a car with straight lines like that =/

 

Get the midnight blue that we see on 2002 mustangs. Awesome color

 

There is one color you just got to get.....candy apple burgandee...changes color...even at night the color shifting turns heads.

 

Show me some pics of these different colors please. What are peoples opinion on a dark silver??

Red is the best

a classic sports car color. Easy to keep clean, looks great all the time

 

I am in the same dillemma, the car is black right now and Im thinking of sticking with black. In the back of my mind I cant drop the idea of like metallic blue with white rims though

 

This should help!

Green looks *** ugly on an FC, a local guy has one that is painted a shade of green similar to what came on so many of the 93+ MX6's, and it looks AWFUL, IMO.

I would go with either black, blue(a darker shade with metal flake) or medium-to-dark silver. Have you ever seen the silverish color that came on 89+ FC's, very rare? It looks pretty good. Note that silver is hard to paint,and hard to get to cover.

 

Funny thing...I look at those pics and see myself in the black on first :-) Painting is one of the only things I won't be doing to this car, so I'm not really worried about the difficulty in it. I saw the pic in someone's sig of a darker silver car and it was really hot looking. I'm still so undecided. Opinions on white anyone?

**edit** whats up with the bling-blings on the truck Kevin????

 

how about metallic pearl blue....take a look at the new GMC sierras they.... thats a really nice blue!

White looks tight too

 

hmm. just a thought, maybe midnight purple pearl. stock color on skyline r33.

can't go wrong with white or black though.

 

Tornado Silver

 

here's that candy apple burgandee...

I agree that silver is one of the better colors for an FC, or any 7 for that matter.

White looks great on an FC, but it's too hard to keep clean IMO. However, it doesnt show flaws much at all.

"Roll the dice and holla get 'em girls, daddy need new shoes, daddy need pirellis to look mean on 22s"

 

Try a nissan factory color, Bay Side blue metallic with 2 coats of ture candy coat. thats the most beautiful paint job i can think of.

 

I've only seen a couple pics of green FCs. Here's one, belongs to a guy on the forum, its kinda nasty looking I think, has integra tailllights, homemade carbon fiber hood, lights, carbon fiber nose. just way overdid, definately a do it yourselfer





But a british racing green or midnight blue would be sweet. Jaguar like

 

dark silver or gunmetal would look freakin awsome! white is also a very nice choice

 

go with white

it'll always look clean unless you get it REAL REAL dirty..
