my suggestion would be a nice dark charcoal, like the paint the EVO MR has. nice evil look :devil:

Edit: for a quick reference

i will have the silver sa3r's

The only difference in the car from that photo is the front end. I sold it and went back to pop ups, well unless i decide to go back to the sil40 look. But i am either going to have the 91-93 front bumper with the zenki lip or with the pdm racing lip or a nice aero front bumper.

I have been thinking about like a dark green, or candy orange

well for some reason the engine bay was painted black, thats why i want to go with a darker color.

I have been thinking more on the lines of a dark green or a almost maroon, like darker colors.

ummm

I think he is talking about the 2 tone mint color silvia that allen brought in with the sa3's. That car is now in calgary and i saw it at speedtech one day with chris.

Umm i am really liking the green and I wouldn't do pink mainly because someone already has.

Quite possibly. I saw it when i was in lethbridge up at the skate park. I said it was robs because rob was down there biking and some homeless dude was hanging around the car. When i asked whos car it was (because of the homeless guy and the open window) rob said it was his and went up and hung out by it. I wish i could remeber more about it. It was lightly faded and you could make out the work SILVIA where a sticker had once been. Besides that i dont know.

Correction: I just talked to Rob and it was a car he had for sale at the time. And he is pretty sure it is now in calgary, i think its the same one you saw Laurier.

I really like the dark forest green. unless something pops up it looks like this will be the weapon of choice

I've got the same issue, mine car is being done this winter by myself, as I've painted a few other small things and I'm going to try and tackle this by just taking my time and doing it right. My color of choice is going to be a dark ass silver, like the EVO posted earlier, I just love that color. But I want to do something to make my car stand out, not to the ricer crowd, but to people with class.

I was thinking maybe a dark dark green or blue. But then I thought about making a deep red metallic. Really deep almost black when it's in the shade. I think that would look sexy. I just don't know :cry:

10-28-2005, 05:56 PM
I think the cherry red would be better on a car a little more flashy then a stock 240 ......., stick with your original idea of the charcol grey.

Laurier, that green on the 240 you posted in the nissan picture thread is sexy, is that the color your going with

yep thats the color i am looking at, unless hollywood 35 does his car that color, thats probably my choice.

now I am looking at front bumpers and if i wanna get vented fenders. these are the ones i have been thinking about:

hehe I took that silvia pic =)

If you like darker colours, and you like green, what about Laurel Mica (Yeah, I know it's the colour of my car but c'mon it's actually pretty nice..)

Hehe. Look at my "members rides" or something for a few snaps of my car, or I can take a closer pic of the colour for you if you want that dark green.

=)
