Hey eveyone,

Well I'm going to get my car resprayed soon, so I was just wondering if there are any websites with different colours that you can use, or if anyone has some pics of nice colours?

I'm basically after something that stands out, wouldn't mind those wet look, metallic, or two-tone paints (chameleon)

Thanks,

Ali

Should give you some idea.  Hope you have deep pockets though :(

haha......Dad does.

Plus im so over the Gun Metal Grey.........the "GTR" colour.

Assuming you own a GTR, I would go for the R34 Millenium Jade colour. Tough but attractive colour.

Anyway that's my opinion - good luck with the choice and respray! :(

Thanks for the link lwells.

Millenium Jade looks immac! But not my cup of tea.

For a while i was thinking midnight purple 3......but now i'm indecisive.

I really like the chameleon paints.....but all my mates keep telling me that it has been done to death......

Thanks for the input!

Midnight purple pearl III is an amazing colour and very rare. I believe only about 400 cars were made in that colour and there is probably only a couple of real examples in Australia. It stands out but not in the same way some flashy lime green paint would.

Saw an R32 GT-R in Japan that was "Windsor Blue" with a very small amount of Pearl Metallic Flec through it and had two Black GT stipes ( about 6" wide each ) from the rear edge of the boot lid to the front edge of the bonnet. It had a set of Black Nismo LM wheels on it and I literally could not drag myself away from it for 20 minutes !!!!! If I had the $'s I'd do mine that way in a heart beat !!!!!!

Sounds good.....got any pics? lol

I'm dying to see some pics, before I walk into a paint shop.

Didn't have a camera with me at the time cause that day we were doing an "UP Garage" crawl and saw it in some town about 2.5hrs out of Osaka ( where my camera was ). I can't even tell you what the name of the town was cause I was so obsessed with buying parts :wub: Even if I had a picture, there's no way it could do that paint job / scheme justice !!! It just stopped everyone in their tracks !! Sorry I can't be more help :wub:

I just had my car resprayed in Dupont its a very good paint i would recomend finding a panel better that used this paint and give them a call and they could show you some colour charts mines black with blue pearl looks good and isn't too expencive

that purple is hot...

but that midnight purple color (if its the 1 im thinking of), looks incredible..

i agree that chameleon paints are everywhere now, but this 1 in particular still stands out

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
