Hi all i think this is where i post this lol. I wanna paint my car but im so lost with what color to choose, its red right now and i like red but i saw this midnight blue that looked....sooo sik but under the hood its red and idk would it be hard to repaint it all? expense wise? i wouldnt mind keeping it red but im thinkin put the silver flakes in it i want it to be uniq something that not everyone has. i hate when everyone has the same lookin car lol well lmk wut u all think and if u want post some pics of some different lookin fc's for ideas maybe. heres a pic of how it looks now. the entire right side is fading pretty bad and starting to flake off the paint :'(

 

ahh why wont it let me post picss

 

Keep it red...the stocker color always looks the best imo ...but then again there were some of those FC colors that looked down right bad haha...

 

holy crap, that looks sweet, keep it that way with the black wheels red on black. If you do want some differentce get it in a metallic but same base red to cover fading and to make it pop more, but wow that looks really good.

 

haha ya but like the blue i seen some people paint there fc. it looks crazy sik. but ya ill prob keep it red :P but umm shoukld i put those silver flakes in it? i sorta do like the flake shiny look

 

IMHO dark colors look better. I'd go with the blue. I'm painting my TII Graphite Gray this summer, thats also an awesome color

 

got some pics? and but if i do the metalic red it would look SHWEEt im sure i like the metalic look. but how much is that X.X im broke as *** so ya lol for now i can always just do base something then go crazy later. and thx alot i like how it looks to but if u saw it up close now the paitns coming off ; ; but ya

 

You do say dark colors look better but I think the bright colors, red, yellow, white, silver, etc. look really good with the dark wheels and black trim, it adds alot of contrast. Keep it the way it is or go light. Take a really good side veiw pic, almost silohuete and get a good photoshop of several colors. You'll see that normally a dark color loks good with bright wheels, silver, chrome, white, or a light version of the same color. But the dark wheels look really good on light colored cars. Especially with that black trim. I want to get some black or dark charcoal BBS wheels for my light metallic blue FC.

 

painting the engine bay will require removing the engine. Also, the doorjambs and around the hatch will also need to be painted. A complete color change can be a PITA. If you pay a shop to do it, it will cost a LOT of money. (like, 5000 dollars). repainting just the outside body panels red would be the best/easiest/cheapest idea.

 

ya i love the way my car looks with those rims i thing black on black or white with black or red with black just looks...amazing...i was gonna add cf t2 hood for the look of black rims cf hood with black trim on the red...but idk yet im just trying get ideas. its so hard to choose stuff!! ; ; i also wanna sell the momo seat and get 1 sparco one i heard there much more comfy

 

Ok good luck with that, I don't know how much paint is, but I think you could pull off just redoing the current color on faded areas, then put in a flake, and clearcoat. It probably would be quite expensive, but I've never had a car or even a part painted, I just know automotive paint isn't cheap.

 

I really hate when people change the color of a car and don’t do it right. Just looks like a half assed spray glow job. Spend the 3 to 5 grand to do it right or just put same color on the body again.

Anyhow I am a die hard fan of white with 10% tint.

 

stick with the red due to the already covered topics of go big or go home when it comes to colour changing (unless you aren't fussy AT ALL)

but if your really want it to stick out instead ol' red, put a nice graphic down the side, perhaps some sublte tribal art in pearl outlines......or some nice subtle stripes to show off some body lines...
