i know it's my own opinion, but what do you think would look good:

car is currently white, i want to spray JUST the exterior. i was thinking black because it's simple. a reverse panda if you will..

or maybe blue? or respray white?


all i know is that i for sure want to leave the bay white. thoughts?

I prefer black. White is hard to do right.

Black shows more imperfections in body work, white hides them better. I say white since your door jambs and bay will be white. :thumb:

I think the opposite. I think white is easy n black is hard. N like stated already black will show imperfections n white will hide it.

and i think this thread does put some meaning to "once you go black, you never go back." it seems like people like to keep cars black. hahahaha

Keep it white but throw a little pearl in it. A pearl white hatch would look sick as hell.

If your not doing a COMPLETE color change (inside and out) Keep it the original color. It just looks dumb when you see a Blue car and they open the door and BAM red, pretty ghetto imo.

Oh but either way, my vote is WHITE! :thumb: :thumb:

How about a dark brown metalic tone like the Porsches Macadamia metalic.
This kombined with a white enginebay and white wheels :thumb:

Or a royal blue with white bay and wheels.

There are to many black cars out there ... i like black to but there are just to many out there.

One of the people who can do white right. I agree there are a lot of black cars. Still one of my favorite colors on a car though. Another great color is the skyline blue. http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en ... &aql=f&oq= Too tired to save and upload a photo so there ya go.

I agree that is your not going to paint your jambs that you should keep the same color, but why not paint them too?

Subaru WRC blue is a good hue of blue to go, but would have to paint inside doors n hatch jambs otherwise you end up with the ghetto flava which aint a hot look.

Or even Spoon yellow would be a good option to go
