Please change the color of my car!!!! vote on the color too

[greddy]

so I'm going to have my car painted hopefully by the end of the year if all goes to plan, I'm debating between phantom black and graphite grey, either way I go, I'm going to be keeping the carbon fiber portions of my car unpainted, so photoshop jockies, paint the car for me, and everyone else, vote on the color, cuz I honestly can't pick between the two. or if you can think of another color that will flow well with the carbon, please tell me!!!
if you guys can change any of these pictures, that'd be great!

[DFX]

i'd say do a white. ive always liked how white contrasts with cf.

[greddy]

^I would do white, but Cali's white 8G already did the whole white and cf thing, so I want something else.

[DFX]

hmm, well, red has been done, and ive never been a fan of blue. lime green??

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Trader...i wont even give you my super sick paint idea now!!!

[greddy]

^no crazy colors lol, to be honest guys, I'd keep it bodega beige if I could, cuz I really like the beige a lot, but it seems to me I'm one of the few that likes the beige with the CF .... :( so I suppose another option is just getting all the dings fixed and just getting a new coat of bodega beige (flame suit is on) lol

[IceDouTGaLanT]

dark graphite will do but make sure it's not too dark or your car will blend in with the cf.

[DFX]

hey, at least the bodega looks better than the banyon.

[Cali]

my car is phantom black and i can tell you right now the carbon will get lost with that color.

i say white.

[greddy]

ok, I would do white Noel, but you already did the white and CF scheme so well, I could never live up to that standard.

[Flipininja-GTZ]

I think white would off set the cf quite nice!!! Dark colors will blend for sure. My friend has a black civic and cf hood and can't really tell between the cf and black!!

[G-spot]

change it to gold so it looks like mine

[greddy]

^psh, keep dreaming

[Reelax]

honestly, u will be following CALI and BILLET w/ the black, white or graphite w/ CF. that's one of the reasons i went w/ a mercedes color (daimond silver pearl metalic) to be different... it doesn't often show well in pictures, but my car can go anywhere from silver to light blue depending on the lighting; bright daytime it looks bluest and at night it look the most silver:

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/ooreelaxoo/IMG0571.jpg
CALI's BLACK, my SILVER and BILLETS GRAPHITE (w/ candy red CF)

here's better look at their colors:

BILLET

REELAX silver pearl (BILLET's car behind)

how about a dark metallic purple or burgandy... kinda like the old M3 purple... would be a SICK complimentary color to the CF w/o being super contrasty. pretty eye catching but still very classy and subtle:

greddy how do you feel about red? There are some beautiful red's out there and the carbon fiber/red combo is beautiful IMO.

[Reelax]

Hey Reelax, do you by any chance know the paint code for that BMW purple?

BMW Techno Violet

Manufacturer : BMW
Manufacturer Code : 299

[greddy]

Thanks man!!

[4g63lover]

THAT PURPLE IS TITTIES!!! Do it if you're cool Martin!!!

[greddy]

I'm pretty sure I'm doing the purple guys! that color is fucking hot as hell

[spardavr4]

THAT PURPLE IS TITTIES!!! Do it if you're cool Martin!!!

The Purple on the Skyline looked pretty good too. CF would look sweet with that color combo.

[blue8g]

do it in blackberry pearl a honda fit color

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb288/MugenMojo/Picture029.jpg

[qnz]

not really digging the purple.

I dont think anyones done a Burgundy/CF theme yet

[showtime]

retarded question: where do you even buy that BMW paint or that skyline paint from?

[DFX]

get the body shop to do a color code match?

[greddy]

any bodyshop can order it

[showtime]

any bodyshop can order it

Sweetness, also (sorry for the thread jack greddy) but how the heck can i find out the paint code? I googled it but clearly not very well

if you're talking about the purple, then scroll up a few posts, if you're talking about a different color then you will prolly hafta look at a pallette or catalog at a body shop or look it up in some specialist forums. Something like how TGC specializes in Galants etc.

I was talking that skyline purple that I posted, I saw the 299 code for the BMW. Thanks Jigz

no prob

[Reelax]

I was talking that skyline purple that I posted, I saw the 299 code for the BMW. Thanks Jigz

the skyline color is a custom color, not OE. to find out the paint manufacturer's color code you have to find the original post/article it came from and the EXACT name of the color and who makes it (PPG, HOK, etc.) if mentioned, then u can take that information and find out the code# or process (many custom colors are mult-stage paints involving multiple colors and coats).

[greddy]

so I'm having a friend photoshop my car in the bmw purple, I'll post the pics up when he is done

[Reelax]

so I'm having a friend photoshop my car in the bmw purple, I'll post the pics up when he is done

remember that color will look different in different lighting, that's why i posted a few versions of it. it looks almost black in hazey light and looks more brilliant in direct sunlight or spot lights.

[greddy]

yeah, I just want a rough estimate, I'm super excited.

[Reelax]

not really digging the purple.

I dont think anyones done a Burgundy/CF theme yet

dark burgandy CF would look sweet too... i know it wasn't heavy w/ CF, but ERICBLA's old ride had the burgandy/black two-tone combo, so it would look kinda similar:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d159/ericbla03/IMG_2278.jpg
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d159/ericbla03/6-3-074.jpg

[spardavr4]

I think Reelax nailed it. Ericbla's burgundy color would looks awesome with CF. DO IT!

[greddy]

hmmmmm, man, it's gonna be a tough choice between the purple and the burgundy

[ShiZnitH]

x2 on Reelax suggestion!

[DFX]

purple. i think the burgundy is a bit too dark next to cf/black

[littlerick]

i vote burgundy, the cf may not stand out as much but i think it would look great

[showtime]

purple! it has not been done before and that BMW purple is SEXY...burgundy has been done before

[4g63lover]

I also vote purple.

[00galantguy]

purple.

[spardavr4]

Burgundy that sucker nao!

[sponcar]

I should say go with katalina's color and the CF will looks tight..!!!

[G-spot]

purple.
...with Lime Green :118:

[Cali]

why not a nice blue/purple color? (that's the color i'll probably paint my '67 fairlady) see below...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/jdmgalant4g63T/2-1.jpg

[Flipininja-GTZ]

Where did you get the front lip and side shirts? Did you make them or have someone make them for you? I like my stock GTZ bumper but want a lip and side skirts to help the body look a little better!! But I have to say man the purple would look good man!!!

[00galantguy]

he got em from the guy above your post... cali

[Flipininja-GTZ]

Thanks man!

[00galantguy]

oh and by the way I think calis color idea so far is best

[Reelax]

oh and by the way I think calis color idea so far is best

more blue than blue/purple but to give an idea of how it might look:

http://www.vertsoft.com/IMAGES/GOOSEY2099.JPG

[Reelax]

what ever color it becomes, if it were me, at this stage of the game, i'd do a color nobody else has done on a G as not to have twins. doesn't have to be super bright or loud... just unique. there are cars on here that are super easy to recognize and not easily confused w/ any look-a-likes, either by color or mods or both; then again, that's just what i would do.

[Ivory8g]

wow that color cali posted is beautiful! *jaw drops*

[Rayth]

i vote for that BMW purple... if i were to repaint mine i would so something similar to that with a little more black look to it

[greddy]

ok, so here are the photoshops my friend has been working on, he's still trying to get the purple to work, it's a tricky color to get just right with the various lighting, enjoy these for now

Red that color is a BITCH if you ever get into an accident and have to try and match it. thats the white pearl that almost looks rainbow colored in low light conditions

[greddy]

I've decided on the techno violet guys! and got a great quote for it too from a reputable shop , everything but the engine bay since I don't want to pull the motor, which will eventually blow, at which point I'll paint the engine bay black.

[RedGalant2k1]

Indeed, BUT it would be quite nice on a Galant IMO.

[RedGalant2k1]

No. Hell no.

engine bay is gonna be flat black, because everything in it is gonna be powedercoated or polished....

Nice choice on the color Greddy cant wait to see it.

[greddy]

Bump it up to the top, car will be getting bodywork soon and then getting painted the BMW purple, get the CF stuff recleared etc... Should be getting done by the end of the summer.

[Bloody Arro]

so I'm going to have my car painted hopefully by the end of the year if all goes to plan

hummmmmm


haha jk can't wait

[99 galant]

[IVORY_G]

which purple?

The mid 90's BMW M3 purple...

[greddy]

oh yeah?



hummmmmm


haha jk can't wait

yeah, well priorities changed last summer and also the body shop that I was about to go with ended up being a shady operation so I took some time to just track the car and enjoy it, but now it's time to make her look nice again.

[paparishi90]

I was thinking about doing my 8g in a graphite grey or an candy bronze but i don't have any cf on my car and don't really plan on going that route...

[2002BlackDragon]

Honestly, i love the dark blue color. Kinda like what Dodge has for thier trucks, but maybe a little darker. But knowing what you can do man, any color will turnout to look great!

[greddy]

Ok, so some good news and some bad news, good news is, car will be done by the end of august and I've found another front lip. Bad news is, some assholes keyed and cracked the shit out of my CF trunk to the point where the top can't be repaired and recleared. It can however be painted over and then I could leave the back portion raw CF. The question then arises should I paint part of the hood, sides skirts, lip, and flares, or should I just leave them raw CF?

pics of how bad it is? I would still leave everything else raw CF. Painting CF is a crime in my opinion :P

[IVORY_G]

Damn, I'd be super pissed off and want to knock someone's block off!!! When you say "Raw CF" do you mean without a clearcoat?

[keith6110]

hmm, if you want to keep the CF look. Maybe you can wrap your trunk with cf and clear over it? idk, throwing ideas.

[Joshua42007]

Hence all the carbon fiber, Id go with one of the 2 following choices.

---> A color off the Brand new Zr1 Corvette, It's called Jet Stream Blue.

Example of the paint on a 2009 GSX-R 1000

http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp326/joshua42008/a-39.jpg
