colour of my car...

[Kor'axis]

when i bought my skyline it had a really bad paint job so now i'm repainting it but i'm not sure what colour... i can't afford harelquin or pearlescent paint... so what colours turn out good on skylines? i've been thinking yellow or a green. Any pictures of these colours would be nice!

[funkymonkey]

ford mandarin or phantom would be something different, or citric green.

[JezR31]

what about midnight purple from the r33 gtr?

[funkymonkey]

i can't afford harelquin or pearlescent paint...

i'd say that rules out midnight purple.

Post up a pic of your car, and i'll photochop it to whatever colour you want.

cheers.

Damnit if i had to change the colour of my car i would make it Yellow with a green Pearl, dont a photoshop with that colour, looks sweet. If u cant get the pearl then get yellow with chrome wheels and it looks sweet

Phantom Purple has been done and is now common.

Hot house Green is a greaat colour, especially with a carbonfibre bonnet.

However its a Holden paint and we all know Holen paint is made with very shit chemicals.

Thanks,

id say that what colour u choose to paint ure car sould be a personal choice as YOU are the person that has to drive it everyday not everyone else

[Kor'axis]

i do realise that it is a personal choice but i also believe getting advice is also a wise move?

Hot house green? - PICS?

SS8_GOHAN - you use the picture from my gallery photo? and put a green or a yellow?

so far i think i'm going for a monaro yellow

how are paint jobs usually done... my car will be sanded but will the original colour still be visiblein places like the inside of the door and places like that? the painter has assured me that he does a REALLY GOOD job and will guarantee it. he's taking 2 weeks to do it.

Kor: In issue number #46 of High Performance Imports Magazine there is a Toyota Supra on the front cover that is painted in "Lamborghini Diablo Burnt Orange" I belive this would look better and more origonal than any Holden colour or Ford colour for that matter, the paint is very nice.

sock, you'd think that sorta rules out lamborghini paints and other custom mixes lol.

davor,

if you want to keep resale in mind then i woudn't go for yellow or green because no one is really going to buy it later down the track.

why not a dark blue or something that is fairly popular? or if you can afford it the dark purple from the R33gtr is absolutely gorgeous!

[CerealKiller]

best thing to do is probably respray it with the colour it is now. As Waz said it's harder to sell a car that's been resprayed.

[HKS_32R]

i gotta say midnight purple is the best by far (especially at night), but not so great price wise, so i would go for a darker colour (black, gun metal grey, etc) for a 32/33 and for a S2 R33 a lighter colour (silver, white, etc).

with the yellow and green... probly isnt the best choice, you will love it for about a month then you will start sayin... "wtf was i thinkn?", and i agree with WazR32GTSt about the resale... my friend had a yellow supra not long ago and it was pretty tough to sell even with a great price (even though i personally thought the yellow looked great! ).

candy apple red?
