What Colour To Paint

[KURAUN]

Just wondering what colour I should repaint my car, paint is "great" for a 16yo car . I was thinking of a red with the engine covers to be painted at the same time in the same colour with a blackened engine bay. What do you guys reckon? The wheels will most likely stay white and will be getting a new front bumper probably jr style 1.

have you spoken to your insurance company to see if this will affect your premium? i'd stick with a factory colour (even if it isn't nissan). that way if you are ever in a crash it is much easier to get the paint matched.

the GTR midnight purple would look hot as hell

I you choose another factory paint you wont have any trouble matching it!

For gettin the paint matched no problems there i work at a panel shop so i can have whatewver colour i chose to paint it, but im not in for a extreme paint like on a red just a metallic red not candy red. I dont mind blue or green to. Im just asking people what coloue would look good or keep to white and just give a new coat

I was thinking of maybe a monaro sting red or somethign like that or the closest match to the vetex demo car below

I agree with the midnight purple suggestion - that will look sex

im over midnight purple now every1s got it and now im over red to lol. What do you guys reckon bout blue or a green?

If I were you mate, I'd remove the rear wing, leaving the rest of the kit on and paint it all a metallic silver, like the silver on R33's S2's, also paint the wheels the same silver, get some chrome wheel nuts and valves, it will look tough and awesome without being a standout overdone car. Do post pics of it when you have done it!

[KURAUN]

yeh wings comin off but i didnt want to paint it a silver or black(both show heaps of scratches) nor change the colours off the wheels they are nice white. The colours I was thinking were repaint white (kindaboring its white), red ( duno a lot of people dont like red, but got colour doesnt show many marks in paintwork) Blue and green i like the colours but so many different varients im not sure which way to go. OK ive decided on 4 colours to chose from white, red, blue or green

There are some blue ones floating around, the R33 GTR LM blue looks awesome, but may not on R32, the blue 32's ive seen werent that exact colour

EVERY single green one ive seen has looked crap - seriously, every one. Id have a close look at a heap of them before spending the money

wait... you wont get purple cause too many other people have it, so instead your suggesting blue?

Go a burnt orange with a red undercoat or something... two tone effect are hotness

I've just paint my 33 midnight purple (custom mix), Have u think of trying something custom?

[shanef]

go a pearl of some sort. also, do the engine bay the same colour as u do the exterior, and then paint the engine covers a different colour to the rest to make it stand out

my car:

Now im going back to midnight purple and thinking of orange to. God this is stressing me out

[wonkynutz]

Hey man,don't stuff around! Do it EVERY friggin' colour! Like one of those D1 paint jobs that look like a pixellated chainsaw massacre splashed up the sides.Way cool.No worries about colour matching either coz you'll be able to add anything and get away with it.

Midnight purple is SEX! Factory colour code is LP2 if i remember rightly....

Whichever colour you decide, be sure they make it straight and put and inch of clear on it!

OR if you wanted to have something really REALLY unique you could go M.N.P II or M.N.P III !!! But you kinda need larger than normal bank for that.

[Nismo Racer]

It very hard to track down LP4 and LX0 (M.N.P 2 and 3) so I went for a custom MNP mix

is it my imagination or does your car look sex the way it is?
