You cant beat black with any color, I dont care if its rainbow color changing quartz flake 10000

Nick86 10-21-03 11:23 AM

Quick question.....

Is this going to be a $500 paint job, or a $10,000 paint job?

Some colours show up imperfections more than others.

Toyota Royal Saphire Pearl, do a search on Supra forums, it's awesome, I have it on my 97 TT Supra, and it is sweet.

i have a black car, i love black cars, but lately i'm diggin' the look of the dark dark gray in a car... almost like the spirit r gray/silver/gunmetal, maybe a lil bit darker.

Peruvianrx7 10-21-03 11:51 AM

this is a 800 dolla paintJOB SORRY im POOR =(

T2R7 10-21-03 12:41 PM

keep it black, its easier to keep the car the original color or close to it. that way you dont have to deal with painting the engine bay to match as well as the door jams and other showing interior. gun metal would look cool though. IMO

Dan H 10-21-03 01:08 PM

What? No hot pink as a color option? I was gonna vote for that!!

Seriously, I would go with black. To me, cars look a bit weird if the engine bay is a different color or door jams.

ditto 10-21-03 01:22 PM

dark blue :)

ERAUMAZDA 10-21-03 01:31 PM

corvette blue

Mitsuko28 10-21-03 01:35 PM

Dark blue would be nice, dont see too many. But how about Barney purple?:D Now that would be sweet...hehe

Rotary Racer 10-21-03 01:41 PM

White :) its cheap and it barley shows any imperfections.

DC350 10-21-03 02:32 PM

Ryde _Or_Die 10-21-03 04:09 PM

Peruvianrx7 10-21-03 04:18 PM

does anyone have some color codes? especially fo rteh gunmetal grey or the dark blue

zhill 10-21-03 05:25 PM

i would go with dark silver grey, like ford uses on the mustang and trucks but a little darker like what toyota used to use on the supra

nima_taba 10-21-03 05:29 PM

Dark metallic grey....I'm getting that in a year, although it looks like all the new cars are coming out in this colour.

Nima

Psychoblue23 10-21-03 05:45 PM

I second that.

You put my favorite color on the poll . . and I don't even need to tell you what it is.

cbrinega 10-21-03 10:00 PM

Voted Black
 
There is a local series 4 that is black, and it looks awesome. Just invest in some good quality wax...

For blues I would consider Harbor Blue or Brave Blue. Both were original colors for RX-7s and look great.

Post pics. when you are done.

Ed88convert 10-21-03 10:23 PM

Donn Hecht 10-22-03 11:18 AM

I like black, a shiny black that is, like I have on my T-II.
Just make sure your getting good quality paint like PPG,
Clear Coat Base Coat, and also make sure they use good primer, if not your paint is going to crack, and peel off in a few months, and the $800.00 bucks you spent will go down the drain, and your gonna feel bad. Also make sure, that the guy is a PRO at what he does in other words. 1) Is it a licensed shop, registered business. 2) Does he have expensive cars there on the premises like BMW's, Mercedes, Jaguars, etc,etc, because this will automatically tell you if the guy does good work, cause obviously people with $$$ arent gonna take there car to a cheap, non-reputable place. 3) Make sure the guy has a freaking oven "For Christ Sake", Ive seen guys painting cars out in the open, with dirt, dust, and all kind of debris blowing everywhere, hey if you wanna spend the money, and like having dust spots all over your ride go ahead, its your car. 4) Check to see if they have there own machines, in other words do they mix there own paint in house ???? 5) Like I mentioned before make sure your getting PPG CLEAR COAT BASE COAT, dont settle for anything less, and make damn sure he's going to use "GOOD PRIMER", and also take the time out to ask if he's going to paint the door jams, and any other exposed areas for that matter. 6) Ask the guy, what I mean is ask the actual person whos going to paint the car "How is he going to prep the car" ????. In other words is he going to remove the rear taillights, and any other trimming so it comes out nice or is he simply going to mask it up with paper, and tape. 7) Last but not least, "GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING, SUCH AS THE WARRANTY, AND, WHATS COVERED, AND ISNT COVERED IN THE WARRANTY, ALSO HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY FOR ???. PERUVIANRX7 If I were you I would save a little bit more money, and shop around to see exactly what your getting for for your money, because it seems to me a decent, and I mean a decent to DAMN good paint job with PPG CLEAR COAT BASE COAT, is gonna run you at least $1,200.00/ $1,500.00 dollars for something thats Really Fu- - - - - Nice !!!! Im talking about when you go pick up your ride you pop a extreme hard on as soon as you see your ride. If I were you, and trust me on this one, SHOP AROUND, and ask the following questions that I previously posted. Like I said I dont know if your in a hurry to paint your car, but save up at least $1,200.00/$1,500.00 bucks, and do it right the first time around "TRUST ME" you will Thank Me later. Also I almost forgot ask them how long will it take them to finish the whole job, if they tell you "Oh it will only take about 1-2 weeks", turn around ,and go somewhere else. A good quality job is gonna take at least a month, anything less I would be skeptical. Good Luck.

Yes. This is true. You see all the smudges, finger prints, water spouts, etc.. but it's still a sweet color.

I'd chose black or white. :D

Mitsuko28 10-23-03 12:46 AM

If you want blue so much, just paint it blue. Who cares what we think, you're the one who gets to look @ her everyday. Pick a color that makes you happy.
