What color paint job?
 
I am planning to have a paint job done on my FD probably this coming month, and I want a very outstanding blue color or something really eye catching. (no red, yellow, or white) other than those what colors should i get? Or any one has some nice reference on paint job colors? I really wanted my FD to be painted blue, with the GT concept kit. So if any1 have any suggestions, I am very willing to listen. Thanks.

Z06 electron blue or midnight blue, what those C5 Z06's colors came in..

AzEKnightz 09-05-05 08:48 PM

hmm that electron blue on a 7? looks a bit awkward, also i couldnt find much pix of a midnight blue car. I am also thinking of the 05 Type S RX7 blue but a bit lighter? Not quite sure, thanks for your advice

:cool:

Excuse any roughness in the clear in that pic, it was before any wetsanding. It actually came out a bit lighter than I had expected, but I like it. And it's not finished yet, so sorry I don't have any pics of the car together.

FYI, I am shooting with Lesonal paints and I have been very impressed with them. Lays down and covers very similar to sikkens, but at a much reduced price because you aren't paying for the management classes and such that come with the sikkens price tag.

Lambocars.com requires a log in, and i dont have an account, so i couldnt view it.

Nice shot. Mines just painted Innocent Blue Mica (with a hint of purple?)

fcfanatic 09-06-05 03:29 AM

Psycho Silver is sweet if you want it to stick out. STI Blue is the best shade of blue though.

AzEKnightz 09-06-05 12:51 PM

Nice color bluerax, is that the Mercedes Bahama Blue Mica?

P.S. Got a pic of the psycho silver ur talking about?

Yep, that's a pic of my car after I waxed and polished it. Most of the time the color is dark like in the first pic, but when it's in direct sunlight it's a little lighter and you get to see the pearl. It's a real nice color that took me a while to find.

Not bad, but so far, from what i've seen, i still like the mercedez bahama blue mica, its pretty darn swt and clean =D

travisorus rex 09-08-05 11:23 AM

Pullman Brown. UPS truck color. It is the "cleanest" looking color you can get....it never looks dirty. :D

DrunkenGimp 09-08-05 11:32 AM

^ LOL!
Silver is pretty hard to get to look dirty. I have a silver volvo, even if its filthy up close, it looks clean from a distance ;)
