What Colour To Paint My Car

[Nackerz]

Hey all

I Have a r32 gtst 2 door factory black skyline, I just brought the car.

It has a fair few scratches as it has been sitting in a shed for 8 years

So i have decided to strip it and respray it. engine bay and all. the whole thing from top to bottom!

What colour do you think would look awsome?

Cheers

Your existing paint code is 732 is it not?

If you're going to make this a DIY project and have budgeted to gut it to the shell, I'd stick to an existing R32 Colour.

My pick would be TH1 (dark blue pearl) or #2 pick is AH3 (red pearl)

If your budget is tight and you're having second thoughts about stripping everything and the engine bay isn't too dull to detail properly,...

my pick would be the R34 colour GV1 (black pearl)

my 2c

go wild. NSX Lime Green Metallic

my paint code is:

732 G

732: BLACK PEARL

G: DARK GREY

According to a link on this forum.

Well yes but no budget

Im a mechanic and do all the work myself including spray paint!

Its almost stripped.

so might aswell spray the whole lot!

+ 1 for Midnight Purple its one of the best colours imo here are some pictures.

R33 GTR

R32 GTR

R34 GTR

[Nackerz]

That colour looks mint! I also like the blue one too in the 3rd pic, but the purple is nicer

[Dani Boi]

I've always liked the silver on the R34 GTR's. Don't go bright colours please...

[Nackerz]

dont like the silver man, but thanks for the opinion and pic

ok so that blue is voted out

Purple is looking the colour so far.

go the midnight purple. it is by far, the sexiest colour you can get on a skyline. ive seen one in person, and oh man.... i woulda married that colour of i possible

it would be a good choice in my opinion. and im the type of person who only likes black cars i say midnight purple.

[Nackerz]

I like the black on my r32, but i think i might paint it the purple.

Which purple to paint it there is three different ones

r33 = lp2

r34 = lv4, lxo

[pistol-pete]

midnight purple 3 is the one you want

[Nackerz]

LXO then mate yeah?

Nice will do thanks guys

[DarkRyda]

midnight purple 3 is expensive shit the paint alone is like $7,000 (whole car) i read that somewhere not sure if its right correct me if im wrong. if you decide to paint it Midnight purple like the ones i showed its $118 Per Litre due to its red/violet pearl mix and that would be the LP2 R33 colour. i have an R33 in MP and iv bought paint to respary my front bar that's how i know the price.
