What Colour Should I Paint My Car

[dontfeelcold]

After semi dismantaling my R32 GTR it seems there are a fair few spots that need fixing up, few rust spots, large scratches, shoddy repairs. Considering that I was thinking I might aswell respray the whole car. Currently the car is white.

So my question is, what colour do I paint my car? I am not a fan of pearls and to an extent, metallics. I was thinking something along the lines of a nice red (Gibson GTR red maybe). If you have pics of a colour that looks nice, post it or post a link to it so I can get an idea of what different colours look like on R32 GTR's.

Thanks

Silver with the Nismo stripes sounds good, with black wheels Z-tune style.

I was thinking maybe the blue used on the Calsonic GTR's, with maybe 2 white stripes down over the top of the car with white rims.

Not doing it green.

That would be awesome

if you can have any colour in the world and you're after something to stand out / be original it just doesn't make sense to paint it anything stock eg silver, grey, white, black..

i'd go for something striking, but not too "look at me"

maybe the R34 bayside blue?

or R33 midnight purple?

just my opinion...

[dontfeelcold]

I was thinking about bayside blue, looks good on a R34.

I've seen a 32 GTR in 33 Midnight purple, carbon bonnet an gold centre BBS rims...its a Vic members car....looks HOT!!

My advise would be to try sn find a nice factory colour, anything custom and as soon theres a chip or a scratch, pretty much the entire car needs to be resprayed as its hard to get exactly the same custom colour colour twice.

That combo of rims and paint looks nice. Which ever colour I go for I plan to get some BBS LM's in either silver, white or gold centre. My favourite rim.

So even if I got the colours computer mixed, and went back to the same place to get the paint, would it be similar?

Black for sure

[lingeringsoul]

midnight purple

dark metallic purple - off mazda 3

very dark red or blue

[ctjet]

dark candy red with pearl... hot

[dontfeelcold]

one trip into the gravel trap and its back to square one. LOL

I forgot to mention this will be a track/hill climb car, so no "show car" colours (ie pearls, candys, metalic flake)

[BAMR33]

White with carbon bonnet and dark tint on windows.

[Nismo Racer]

Bayside Blue

[Ronin 09]

going to be hard to get your hands on some BBS rims now...

I want LM IIs in 18s

[dead32]

bayside blue with white 18's by 10 bee*R rims the hot 5 spoke okes. kinda look drift tech's on roids.. HOT HOT HOT!!
