What color paint should I use? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SimpleS14 · 04-26-2002, 01:09 PM

If I get sides, spoiler, and S-15 front end, I was thinking about keep the original color of my car.  But its a rare color and so far I haven't seen a modded car with a matching paint job.  Thats why I'm thinking about painting my whole car a different color, but I don't know which one to go with.  But then again Blue Emerald is a rare color, which is one reason I might consider keeping it.

Can anyone help me out on what color I should choose?  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

Im colorblind.  So I dont think I can vote, based on my not knowing the difference in the 2 color blues you mentioned.
Also, I believe real men should only have to know 8 colors.
Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, White, Brown, and Orange.
Of those, I can only see four.  It really simplifies my life <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

just keep in mindhow much more work it is to do a complete color change, and do it right, full engine bay, under glass, trunk lid, door sills and jambs... etc..

i am eventually going to take my car off the road for  2 weeks- a month and do a complete job in my garage... but it's a lot of work (shakes his head)
