What is a GOOD color

dcrusupra · 02-14-2006, 10:47 PM

I'm going the all black route. Black everything. Darkest tint i can get, black rims, black taillights, black turn signals etc. And on the interior i have black with a few red accessories. Like stitching, inserts, shift boot, etc... Almost done with the interior. I need a black carpet, new door panels, and front seats. But I agree with tony. If the exterior is black, it WILL show a lot of body work errors. Which i have to worry about. I have a few dings and dents that i need to perfect before i paint it. I like the black look. But thats just me. And the music you should listen to, to add to the list that nickleye started, the beatles, pink floyd, the who, yes, etc... But thats also just me, i like late 90's punk (old green day, blink 182), classic rock, and rock. I'm still 18 so i can like punk. lol.

^Old Green Day? Have they changed even a little in the past 15 years? My car is Factory Dark Blue Mica Metalic it's dark blue w/ green pearl. I believe Toyota's Paint code was 8E3 for this color. BEAUTIFUL!!! However like it was stated, unless you want to go in and do the doorjams, hatch and underhood, or pay the extra money to have it done right. I'd stick w/ the original color or very close to it.

Lol, then u must not have heard the new CD. They are gay as hell now. All emo and whatnot.

Black is one of my favorite colors, but I would only use it if I had a garage, my car was not a daily driver, and the paint shop could guarantee 110% immaculate body work before shooting it.

Also it is also the hardest color to keep clean and shows scratches very easily.

both my supras have been white they show no scratches and is easy to keep clean.If straight white is a problem my first car was a pearl white and she was so beautiful,so it all depends on what u like,i like white and others like black so pick a color u like and go with a color schyme that matches.

^ You'd probably look like a huge Denver Broncos fan...other than that...if it makes you happy go for it. Personally it sounds to "loud" I don't like to attract too much "WTF is that!?!" looks.
