HAHA true true

I would never paint mine that colour, just love the look of it. Second choice for a 32 would have to be the black pearl but hard to match again for the same reason. Dam pearl colours, so hot yet so much work

pearls are easy to match just not 3 layers like whites lol. most of the 3 layers these days can be painted and matched like a normal colour. For example all the new mazda colours that are a 3 layer from the factory PPg still makes you paint them as a 3 layer but Glasruit which i use has them all as a single layer

ohk, i've picked a colour iwas going t go Midnight Purple but i saw a R32 GTS-T drive past that colour and it got me thining it might of been done to many times so i'm going with this colour (sorry about the pics it's hard to show the pearl on a small card in a photo but i looks really good and subtle)

Have seen a r33 painted a similar blue/purple pearl and it looked awesome

dunno about that one mate, looks a little too pretty, but if you like it then thats all that matters. I guess it depends on what "look" you want as well. For example, do you want a show-car look, purposeful "look" or sleeper ??. I am in the same situation at the mo', trying to figure out what colour to go with for my BNR32. My personal opinion is that the GTR's are aesthetically really tough and masculine, and are suited to more neutral palletes such as Silvers, blacks, greys and white. My flavour of the week is the colour scheme of the R34 Z-spec (silver with black rims). Tough, understated and purposeful. Last week i was convinced on white. Week before i was considering midnight purple or millenium jade, so go figure, i cant make my mind up!! I may just end up leaving it in Gun Metal.

i'm keeping it blue cause i dont wanna do the engine bay ut if i was going to change the colour it would be going BMW moonrock, best silver out there imo.

I just want something different, dont want black as it's a pain to keep clean and this colour looks unreal on a car, we painted a VY SS ute in something like it and looked awesome

Cool. I have to say the blue is warming to me, as one of the toughest R32's (Calsonic) wears a simillar hue. I think white rims would really compliment the duco as well. Make sure you post pics when its done.

yer was going to do the wheels white cause there gold atm and it look like the owner in japan was going for the WRX style which i'm not a fan of.

this is how it should look when it gets here:

was meant to be here today but has been delayed for some reason

Whatever colour you go for in the end, I'm sure you'll enjoy it heaps.

Me? I'd go Midnight Purple

...for 1 special reason besides lovin' that colour...

Nissan makes that colour so special, that anyone who sees it thinks, 'yeh that's a Nissan colour'

And if anyone wants a #2 reason... Even the hue of that colour changes depending on how the light falls on it.

Pics don't do it justice; 'cause you only have to move one metre this way or that; and wham! It's different!

i went a slight variation on the midnight purple for my 32 ... i chucked in more red pearl then black ...

I just had my 32 gtst painted millenium jade.

its a really tough color but i now need to do a few more things to the car to make it look right. the thing with millenium jade is it needs a lot of black to contrast with. and orange looks dogs balls with it.

so i have done the following

rolled the rear guards over an inch

powdercoated the wheels satin black

headlights have been pulled apart and the insides painted satin black

the corner indicators have been replaced with clear ones

all trim has been painted black

darkest legal tint has been applied to windows

to finish it off it needs a black or carbon front splitter and a pair of 255-40-17 semis to go on the rear.

it should look subtle but mean when finished and i have been holding off on photos till it is all done
