What color should i paint my fc?

Hey, i just found out today, my dad has a friend that owns a paint shop, and he said he would paint my fc just about any color i want, as long as i pay for the paint. What colors look good on a fc, i was thining of going an off color like....
vw vapor blue, Metallic blew w/violet pearl, white w/blue or red pearl...
Or maybe just black.
Or black w/ pearl...
Pics would be helpfull....
Thanks,
Jason

What color is the car inside and out now? Have to match the interior with the exterior and don't want a bad combo of new color and old color under the hood.

You don't have fav color or what? I like original colors and was going to paint my blue NA carolina blue before. I would go with a deep blue with some white pearl in it.

Well the paint on it sucks now, and it has a white sunroof, silver hood, and blue fender.
I kinda like boostd 7's paint, maybe more of a blue though, what color is that anyways?

What are the door jams and under the hood painted???

Matching that would be your best bet. Unless you want to pull the motor or at least clean all the stuff off the firewall and inner fender wells (and thats a project).


If its black spend some time tapping out any little dings. Preferably with a body man that knows how to repair a fender not just replace it. then put several coats of black with many many coats of clear over it.

FC's look great in monochrome white (especially with the 91 tail lights)

So what does the F stand for and what does the C stand for?

Don't see how this relates to 2nd Gen.

Just so you're not confused, it comes from the chasis code and VIN. If you open you're hood, it will say on the ID plate Chassis = FC and the vin will start with JM1FC3....

I think a deep metallic blue with a white pearl would be beautiful.

FCs look great in every color, IMO. Tough choice you have to make.

Black cars are gorgeous when clean, but unfortunately with black, every little imperfection shows up, and it's a bitch to keep clean. Hard to resist a nice metallic black, though. Metallic black with a dark blue pearl would be amazing.

I would say black with charcoal pearl. Its a beautiful color combo. Saw it on an NSX. I was as impressed with the colour as I was with the machine it was on.
