Question What color should I paint my FD?

I'm getting a *great* deal on a color change paint job for my rex.......any suggestions? I'm leaning heavily towards Lamborghini Candy Apple Blue.

My wheels are polished Fikse FM5s, so no worries about colored wheels.

Any suggestions?

That diablo color looks great! Are you sure it's candy APPLE blue?

Have a look at an Electron Blue C5 before you decide.

Choices, man, choices...

I say you go with an OEM color. My favorites are brilliant black, innocent blue mica, or titanium metallic grey.






Also, are you stripping the car to its frame or just painting the outside body, door jams, engine bay, etc.?

Hmm,
Spicy Orange Mica looks great during the day.

I like the stock IBM is beautiful.
I also like the Ti Grey.
Royal Sapphire Blue from the Supras is very nice as well.
I was thinking of changing the color of my car as well, but it's a lot of work. (Already half the car a part) and cost more.
Besides a sports car should be red!

Also this colors kind of nice on the new Z/G35 Cars. The pics kind of grainy but I'm sure you've seen it in person.

White, the stock chaste white or a pearl white would be clean
