Paint my car!!

[NiTrOuSoXiDe]

Ok, well I'm all kitted up and whatnot. No pics yet, but I need to decide on a color. I was 100% set on black, but now my father had to open his mouth, and now he's got me thinking. We went to the paint store today to get the paint, and I ended up leaving empty handed because I started seriously considering other colors, and I couldn't make a descision. So now I ask you guys...

What color should I go with? Help me out here. Think of G-rim's front end, along with the Invader sides and rear, and an Evo spoiler. What color would look best?

I'm starting to think more and more that red + a CF or black hood would look sweet. Also, a nice blue like Peano's car would be cool too, but I don't want to be a copy cat. White would be nice, but I would have to get different rims if I went that route, because mine just wouldn't work with white. I'm definately not keeping silver, because everyone else in TGCNY has a silver car. I'm starting to think red would be cool more and more, because first of all nearly no one else has red a 7G. The only problem there is the fact that Darkkend is a big player in TGCNY, and he was hanging his hat on a red 7G a long time ago. Again, I don't want to be a copy cat, but his plans are much different from mine for his car so we might be cool there.

Help!!

First two 7gs with the FMIC are djplays.

Red does look hot, would look sweet with black wheels

Black man.. u know wat they sya... once u go black.. u never go back..lol..

i really like that black chrome..

[SkylineG1]

I say go with RED. Just because it isn't as popular in the community you'll just have to cope with the higher insurance.

Thank you for the opinions guys. I have chosen a color. I bought all materials and begun painting today. Something went wrong with the paint, and it fisheyed all over the damn place, so at this very moment the G is sitting in my driveway, all taped up and rosin-papered, half painted. I'm working with ipaintu on solving the issue, and once I figure this out, I will finish painting and post pictures. The color is pretty nice. It's a deep radiant red, and looks great on the car if you squint and kind of look to the side, as to not see all the fuck ups.

Also, being that I just graduated college, my parents have been looking to give me some sort of present. My father just came to me and offered to buy me a Maaco paint job, but it would be one of those $400 jobs. You guys think I should take him up on that, or am I better off doing it myself and saving the money?

I just can't wait to finish this damn project. The exterior anyway. I figure the exterior is the hardest and most expensive part. Next, I work on the interior which only has one or two expensive things to do, the rest is small things or has already been done. After I pimp the interior, I'll do a few performance mods, but nothing out of this world. More than likely I will not be gettin a turbo. I don't think my engine could handle it. I have 146,000+ miles. Now is not the time to bolt on a turbo. An intake, exhaust and a little thing here a little thing there will do just fine for me.

If you're good at painting a car then get the money for engine. But if youdon't know squat the get the paint job.

damn allready started painting? I was going to suggest a color called Black Kryptonite one of my impala buddies put together, its black basecoat with kandy green pearl over it look here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/560725/9 but dont worry about the red were going to different routes so it wouldnt be too bad.

Its black in the dark and green in the light.

While I already have a thread open lemmie ask opinions of a few of you guys...

I have some badges. I was thinking for my rear, on the left side I'd have a red diamond star, and right next to it an MMC emblem. Then, on the other side, should I put anything? I have some 6G 'GALANT' insignias, should I put one of those on the right side, like it was on the 6G? That, or should I leave nothing there at all, and simply put 8G chrome 'G A L A N T' lettering where the old grey plastic ones were?
