Getting the car repainted. Suggest Colors for me.

So, I'm getting the FD repainted.
Its going to have the FULL RE-Amemiya ADGT Widebody kit on with CF hood.

I want to paint the car black, ever since my black 350z I just loved the stealthyness of it. The other option is Toyota Supra MKIV Anthracite ( sometimes called MSB- monkey **** brown) ,and or Spirit-R Metallic Grey.


If you guys have any other suggestions as far as color, or a specific type of Black (ie Jet Black ...Tripple Black) let me know. Pics help.

Black will look sinister but it will be a pain in the *** to maintain. I like the 350z blue and the Spirit R grey.

Some sort of grey will look great. I agree with black hiding alot on the car. But then again, it could work wonders for the look as well.

midnight blue is really cool or you can go with red orange, like the 350z, really nice color as well.

2008 lexus pearl white with blue pearl clear, but whatever you do use some sort of OEM color, if you go full custom it will be a PITA to match it if you ever need to paint it, trust me i know

I wanted to do lizstick red for my fd but they said that saleen will NOT release the paint code unless its for a saleen and its very EXPENSIVE. Sweet color though.

Satin White Pearl (Subaru Color, it has Blue Flakes in it). Lexus Graphite Grey. Innocent Blue Mica (Love this color on FD's). Though if you're set on Black, Black Magic Pearl (VW) looks amazing, or Tarmac Black (Mitsubishi). When Black Magic Pearl is clean and in the light it often comes off Purple due to the amount of Pearl in the paint.

I've been tossing back and forth between anthracite (doesn't look really goo in photos), escalade or the lexus white mentioned above, and dark olive metallic ala Porsche....be warned though you probably wont be the only one with the green.






Midnight blue metallic...I've been a fan of tghe color, but it's basically all the pains of black.



Metallic White



Another nice dark blue...

The Spirit R's Titanum Gray Metalic and Innocent Blue Mica are the two best non-black colors for the FD, IMO.

the top two pictures in post 30, complete with paint codes.

If you go with black, you should use the Mazda Brilliant Black. Its a stock black that came on the rx7 and 626 but it looks good IMO. paint code is (PZ)
