Post pics of your paint job!

Hey, I am gonna get my 7 painted and want to know what color looks the best. I want black, but I live in the inferno known as AZ, so that could get hot. Also thinking that grey color that comes stock or the arctic silver. Post some pics of your paint to give me some ideas!
Thanks

black gets dirty in 1 minute, but for that 1 minute it's clean it looks really nice, I <3 black FC's but I might harbor a little bias

I've always liked black cars, but I think white suites RX7s the best. What year is that one?

white is so bland! I prefer to look at myself in the paint and black is the best option for that.

After you took off the badges on the back, I wasn't quite sure just what type of car that was. But once I saw the back window - it cleared up all doubt.

What wheels are those? - I like 'em.


Maybe I'm biased, but what about red? It suits the FC quite nicely.

There are a handful of pics at the website in my sig.


Since then I repainted the front end after my wreck, swapped on GXL wheels, and went with an S5 spoiler.

Ill get some new pics up when I get the paint all buffed out.

I really like the black on our cars so I'm not Dissin any of you. However, the real problem with black on our cars is that at certain angles you loose the angles of the car. Also the shape can become strange at different lighting.
