I'm still having trouble choosing a color. My thing is that i don't want my car to have a color that anyone else has. I don't want some bright *** green either. I'm looking for a nice clean color. The color that i'm thinking of now is like a tan champain kind of a color. That and i've never seen it before and it's a suttle color. I need help on this guys. Help me figure out a new color.

how about a nice white with a pearl?

that's a factory color. i want a color that fds don't come in

blueskaterboy

since we're deciding for you, how about chameleon?a tan champagne is not really that subtle, its pretty ugly, but if you want a color that no one has...

JONSKI

Someone on this forum has a champagne FD. I've actually seen the car driving North on Alafaya Tr. once. I can't remember his S/N, though.

[edit]If you ever plan on selling the car, then paint it the factory color.[/edit]

huh, i'd like to see that car. i don't think that i ever plan on selling it. that and what all i'm doing to it i don't think i will ever be able to sell it except for as a show car. and i've seen a couple of chameleon fds before. i like them but i'm not all about the chameleon. that and that is like a 7k paint job right there.

lol, no one ever on this forum is going to sell their car (if you ask them that is).

Ok, so let's see if we got this straight:

1. You don't want a factory color
2. You don't want to pay for a Kandy color paint job
3. And it's a show car.....

If you are making a show car, paint is where you need to spend your money. However, simply going with a different shade of the original color of the car is an easy way to have a change, yet not force you to strip the car down to repaint everywhere.

There was a thread a few years ago showing various Reds used on RX-7s. There was a deep red used which was something like Ferrari Red. It was very nice.

well the car is just about stripped down to bare metal. and i didn't say that i don't want a kandy color. i don't want chameleon. that and it cam red, which is the most common fd color. so i'm defanitly staying away from red

Well, you made a comment about a 7k paint job. Unless you are doing the spraying yourself (or have a buddy with a "hook-up"), with a Kandy color you'll probably end up around $5000 at the cheapest.

BTW, you don't have to use "RED" per say, but there are a lot of things you can do with red to make it nice. Here's an example of a car that had some other things mixed into to his red:



Here's another red car (with gold metallic flake):



In the dark, it looks red. When the sun hits it, the gold flakes turns it almost a Sunburst Orange color.

NSX blue. Someone on here has their FC painted that color and I think it's stunning.

I say a light metallic blue... not too metallic though.

Look at the second pic, the car all the way to the right.
Now that's what I'm talking about!

Wow if I was going to all the trouble of painting my car a different color, show car or not, I would kick the **** out of myself if I didn't go with one of those gorgeous Kandy colors...

i'm not totally ruling a kandy color out. and my car started out red, and i'm not really a red or blue car kind of a person. if i did a red i was thinking of like a dark forest cherry color. a really dark red but not quiet black. I've even looked through years and years of car paint chips and i still havn't found anything.

Electron Blue from 99-00 Civic Si? Always liked that color...

jarred

british racing green always looks nice...

WannabeFC

Clover Green Pearl....

I was debating the same thing..dark red, almost black. The problem is the car can turn out brown!!! If you have a mixture that doesn't let me know, please.

I plan on painting my 7 this summer, and I was at my local auto parts store looking at ppg paint samples and I found a Chrysler color that was real nice it was a dark metalic blue so dark it looks black until the sun hits it then its a deep blue, also Hyundai has a lot of nice colors (there cars suck but good colors)

or how bout the new sunburst orange I've seen a fer rangers and grand am's with it, its really nice but I think fords is a little darker
