serious question bout paint

[Crazybird]

ok this winter im planing on talking to body shops about work on my car... so if i get my rust fixed finally lol what color

i really want that nighthawk black pearl cause its like a big O on the car but i dunno black is hard to keep clean... so does anyone have other suggestions on neutral colors or shades cause i dont think i want to go with bright if any color

[87lxiaccord]

nissan charcoal grey metallic ftw!

[Crazybird]

what does it look like?

[ghettogeddy]

id go white if i was painting my car

[Crazybird]

i know white does look really good but then i dunno.. what parts of the bumpers do i get them to paint or should i go with all trim and bumpers the same color

[ghettogeddy]

all the same for sure but u can just have them paint it like mine

[Crazybird]

well tahts kinda why i dont wanna go white cause when its all white the trim looks kinda odd but ya white sounds good with the black trim

but what white :P lol i remember my dad once picked up a bottle of arctic white to fix sum of the chips what is the color of my car :P or is there another more brilliant white

[shepherd79]

if i was you i would look around websites and dealerships. that is the best way to find a nice color you like.
personatly i like dark red, burgundy or what i like to call dack cherry.
it would look good on the car with black rims.

Black on a car is the most awesome color, it shows the body lines so well. Downside is, the bodywork underneath better be IMMACULATE because black is like a mirror on your car body. The slightest wave in a body panel will show big time. Plus, like you said, it's pure freaking hell to keep clean, and here in Tx heat in the summer, your car turns into a kiln inside.

I like bold colors, like a Dodge Flame Red, or a Candy red, or a bright blue. Toyota has a beautiful dark metallic blue on their 03 up 4 Runners that I had ALMOST thought about for my car but didnt want to go the extra mile to jamb the car and do the underside of the trunk and engine bay to do the color change right so Im sticking with stock Laurel Blue for my repaint.
