I am in the process of figuring out what color to paint my car. I was thinking Z06 electron blue, or a S15 Metallic Gunmetal. So which do you guys think would be best?

Any other suggestions is welcome... PLEASE be serious!!! No pink, purple, or any other weird colors.

 

What colour is it now?

 

the hottest florcent yellow you can find! actually any yellow will stand out very nicely. personnaly ill be painting my car flat black (better against police/laser)

 

Factory Black...

 

IMO, unless it's a show car, keep it the original color.

 

Couldn't agree more. Black, IMHO, is the ideal FD color.

 

I would like to make it a show car. I know how to paint, but I just cannot decide on the color. I want something unique, there are too many black cars out there. Color like white, red, black, are just plain factory colors.

 

Id paint it black with metal flakes wich kind of gives it a grey look just my .02. if your lookin for unique go with a red fade to black as uin the front is red and as u get towards the back it fades to black

 

I painted my old car a porsche color. Its was a silver bluish color and was the best color I ever came up with. It almost looked like silver with a blue pearl. If u want to find the color look at the color sheets for the 1999 or 2000 DuPont colors. I think it was in there.

For me now, I paint ALL my cars Chevy White(the whitest white). It blinds you when you look at it in the Cali sun.

 

My fav color would be the 99-spec white, but that's just me. I'm not even sure if there's a difference from the "chaste white" that we got over here... with a 99-spec front of course

Spirit R gray/gunmetal is always nice, too. Are you going to paint the engine bay/door jams as well?
I see that you have a lot of power mods planned soon.... congrats! You should get together with Stephen & Phil and terrorize the whole region!

 

CYM!!! That's the best color by far

 

If it's going to be a show car, you should look into the Kandy colors. However, I would still say stay with the stock Black.

 

IBM=innocent blue mica

 

white!!! I never liked white cars untill I bought my white FD. I don't think I'd ever go for another color FD. It brings out all of the curves more than any other color.

 

Hehe cant wait. Iam painting Phil's car right now, it is looking good.

Next step after my tuning session would be to paint my car.



Innocent Blue Mica? Interesting, have a pic?

So when/if you change the color; are you going to tear down the car to completely change the color?

 

Yep, except for the engine bay that will only look black.

 

Leo, here's pictures of the IBM on a 3rd gen. Me, Phil, and Tim think you should paint this color

 

Very good color. Hey Jon what about the Spirit R titanium grey?
