My car is getting paint - I'm thinking about this color...thoughts?



With maybe these wheels?


My car:


I've always been the boring/traditional color kind of guy, and that's getting old. I want something unique yet classy...attention-getting but not attention-whorish.

More wheel thoughts:

Rota Boost


SSR Type C


5Zigen Hyper 5ZR

go with a matte black. go a gunmetal grey, with that gold colour flakes through it sex.

:raiseroofand give your exhaust system to me.

I would say go yellow. IS300 Yellow.

Sticks out and maybe youll be lucky and people will mistake you for a Ferrari.


Also dont go with a star shape wheel, its way too traditional.

woooo

copper candy, no metallic flakes in this color... makes it look gay
or this colors...


looking fo rims...

that first orange is badass....

Interesting Color choices, lol. I prefer black, but from the 3 you posted up (red, green and copper), I would say copper.

It really depends on you and If you have a very very specific way you want your car to look when it's all done. I would go with the black you already have on there, maybe refresh it with obsidian black on the exterior only, but that's me.

As far as the wheel choices, Gloss Black SSR - Type C hella-flushed FTMFW.

The orange is you posted if perfect. I would say go with any of the wheels you posted except for the 5 spoke.

I am all for that orange. go for it.. then give me the car afterwards. lol

I like the enkeis

rpf1's ftw.

I am in love.

the photochop is nice but go with the ssr

Yeah I haven't decided on wheels yet, but I can't afford them at the moment anyway so they're going to wait a bit. Paint is happening soon so I have to make up my mind.

That photochopped color is awesome! Little different, but not so garish that it distracts from the car.

I like the metallic orange. Would look really nice with flat black Volk RE30 wheels:

The only thing I'm really afraid of is the novelty wearing off after a few months - do you think it'll keep its appeal? Planning on 17x9.5 rear wheels with 275 rubber, and I have a TD06 20G with Tial externally vented wastegate that's awaiting installation, if that helps at all.

We are also doing the single-vent scoop mod, so my car will be just like that except for the body kit (which is minimal anyway) and shaved seams/molding (my car's body is stock). I will also be having my wing deleted entirely.

if you get sick of it, just sell the car to me. lol

It'll be more appealing than..black definitely will stick out of the crowd.

That copper color would be very nice, definitely do something clean 5 spoke wheel in a gunmetal to get it to stand out cleaner even more.

Obviously these will look a bit different when they're on a car than they do on the can, but he has these two (meaning if I use one of these colors, I don't have to buy paint). He said the orange will look more metallic than it does on the can and the blue will have a lot of pearl and gold flake.

+1

like bbs LM, freah. or any style of that sort looks good IMO

If you think the novelty will wear off in the back of your mind then I suggest going with a more conservative color.

is my final answer.

that cooper/orange will look great and not over done. kind of looks like hot lava color from the release series 1.0 xb, but better.

paint it all chrome....aww yeee

And blind people off the road. lol

lol including yourself when you drive it

LOL At least the good thing is that you won't need your rear view mirrors anymore.

not unless you wear raybans!

It's like a mobile tanning bed.
