What Color Should I Paint My FC
 
Hi,

I was just wondering what color you guys think I should paint my FC any color is fine. I was going to go black but I think i'm getting cold feet. I've just been how hard black is to keep and keep it looking good. I love that look but is it really worth it.

Cheers
Chris

silver is much easier to take care of but ifyou want black, i say go for it, it will match all your outfits :)

lilpeenoiracer 03-10-04 09:42 PM

hehe black

lilpeenoiracer 03-10-04 09:46 PM

hehe black is cool

i'm repainting my FC the stock Brave Blue next month. it came with Brave blue but the paint is going so time for a touch up. :D

Black looks the best, in my opinion, but it has a lot of drawbacks. It takes a lot of work to keep looking nice, and it's HOT in the summer.

Of course, I like red. Blue is a good choice too.

i love black, i just hate it cuz it shows my dents...
dun worry, body work comin soon

I have been thinking very seriously about painting mine the same color as my MSP. I really love the titanium gray on it and I think the FC would look great in that or winning blue.:D

Thats a very subjective question and one that will yield you lots of different answers...usually ones with what the owners colour Is on their cars. ;)

If Silver floats your boat, than I'd suggest to get 1999 Mazda Miata Highlight Metallic Highlight Peral Silver. It's what I got and I'm quite happy with It.

Like Ryu, I painted my 87 Turbo II Brave Blue. This is a 91 rx7 color. My original colors was that sunburst red or something like that, it looks kind of orange/red. I hated that color so I painted it and it came out unbelieveable!! I had it painted with PPG paint, I will post pictures soon. Also added 91 spoiler, 91 front and rear bumpers, clear signals, 91 mirrors, the car looks clean!!

a nice burgundy. Looks so good.

DC350 03-11-04 12:10 PM

Midnight metallic blue... Best Rx7 colour

turboIImadman 03-11-04 12:24 PM

go for SILVER it looks so nice on a FC.(just look in the backround of the fight scene on 2fast 2furious when brian and rome are fighting at the crash dirby):D I'm repainting mine red but im not sure what the originall red was for a 89 TII i think it was sunset red. Anybody know?

domesttuner 03-11-04 12:49 PM

yeah it was sunset red (mine's that color)

dori2 has an FC that is dark gray and has the body filled where the trim used to be. you should check that out - looks absolutley menacing!

turboIImadman 03-11-04 03:50 PM

i have got to see pics of that:eek:

rx-7s rock 03-11-04 04:17 PM

oh yeah, titanium gray would be damn good too.

JackoliciousLegs 03-11-04 04:34 PM

black

BDoty311 03-11-04 04:45 PM

<------- Yellow

Black is always cool, and pearl white could look nice aswell.

lilpeenoiracer 03-11-04 08:31 PM

Hey,

Yes I think black will look the best will be 3 coat Black with a couple of clear coats. Should look very black. My car used to midnight blue but I think that would look stupid with the shogun body kit. Yellow would also be awsome but its just to brigth and vibrant for me. So black it is.

Cheers

Why don't you go for metalic gray? Lexus Graphite Gray Pearl is a really nice color.

If you want darker shade of silver, try Toyota Quicksilver Metalic or Graphite silver from Infiniti.


Black is REALLY pain in the ass... After owning a black car, I promised to myself... never again!! It's too much pain in the ass to keep it looking good... If you want to make it look good all the time, weekly wax sessions of 4 hours are necessary... plus you have to touch it up every fucking day. :p:

domesttuner 03-11-04 11:05 PM

dori2's car is in his sig, and I'm sure you can pm him for more info. it looks fucking raw!
