It's about time for a paint job...

Here's what my RX3 looks like now. A little ragged... I want to get the body straightened and painted pretty soon. Not sure what color I want to paint it though. I like the original color and am leaning towards keeping it that color. I like the color of the car in my avitar too. I have also been joking about painting it orange like the General Lee. Opinions?

Nice 3. I like the original color. Are you planning on stripping the whole car inside and out and doing a major full body paint job? If not then I would stick to the original color so you don't have to spend alot of money doing the door jams, engine bay, etc.

If just spray, then stick with orig color. For ccomplete strip down to bare metal, then you may as well go with the color of your choice.

I would personally take everything out except for the dashboard to save cash. But thats just me.

I still like the original, it will look awesome resprayed in that colour.

BUT, if you're joking around about Orange, here is a pic of one that a chick in Melbourne owns. Pics arent that flash but it gives you the general idea!
