Ive also got a red S4 T2 im about to paint. I think im gonna do mine black, or a dark dark dark grey/gunmetal color. Since my interior is grey already anyway, wouldnt look to bad.

n/m, I see now its already black. Id think green would look nice, dont see many greens. maybe a british racing green? i think that would kick ***

I think you should keep it black. Maybe a high gloss. At least that's what I'm gonna go with.

I like the arctic silver for an s4 that you don't want to do standard black or red. It's not straight silver (which also doesn't look all that good on an FC, IMO) but it has a touch of blue tint in it that really looks sweet.

Do NOT do a green...green looks like dogshit on the FC, IMO. You could also do a metallic blue...say electric blue etc. Of course I love the harbor blue metallic, which is a stock s5 color, that is on my car.

+1 for blue. But go with Sapphire Blue Metallic (5A) that came on S4's. Sapphire blue > harbor blue.

I agree with daBrkddy on the metallic midnight blue. Thats the color I plan on going with as soon as I finish my last year of college (should be making more money by the time im out) So many plans so little money

Love the color of mine!! Very high metallic. As far as colors go, the sky is the limit.
Black is nice but make sure you do a base/clear paint because 1 stage will have you waxing every 20 minutes to keep a shine after a year or so.

The tornado silver that came on my original S4 was ******* awesome. I'm going to paint mine a pearl white when I get the money.

I like the green on boostinmys5's car. I fell in love with that the first time I saw it. Its dark enough to be tame, and looks good IMO.

Stay with black. The only way to do a decent color change is to strip the car down to it's shell. Otherwise it looks like patchwork and will hurt resale value if nothing else. Besides, Black is a popular color.

Slammedblk7 (right?) has an INCREDIBLE red on his car. It's totally dope. You should check his out. He's the guy who has the turbo larger than his shoe.
