Building a S13 Silvia coupe.... what colour scheme??

[Toma]

I have a carbon hood, s13 style front nose. Was thinking maybe two tone with metallic green up top, and a gunmetal grey lower half....

Any other ideas are welcome, and if oyu have pics. No airbrushing though, just straight paint please. Two tone is fine....

Thanks for the suggestions!

Here is a pic I found with the green I was thinking of, but would go down to the sideskirts, and a ncie metallic gunmetal grey/silver on the lower portion....

Wow that is a hideous color.

I personally like all white on these.

[spacerz]

Hideous is right.

This colour scheme on the other hand....

White or this, you cannot go wrong.

[Toma]

Oh come on.... white???

We can do better can't we? The silver is not bad, a little boring (speed hunters), but ok....

More?

i would really like the look of this car without the gay hella flush crap wheel set up. But it would look great for what you are going to use it for. It looks sharp but not too flashy.

i've always liked the two toned oem schemes or variations of that style as posted already, only on a coupe though, i can't ever see it work on a hatch for some reason

this car is NUTS!!!

what front end is that?? when i get my 240 this is the front end i want

[beyond_ban]

Looks like an s15 front.... And OP, keep it plain and simple. You want the car to catch peoples attention, not just a stand out color.

[spacerz]

^That's a S13.5 front end.

[GOnSHO]

mine will not be a hatch thats for sure!! i hate hatchbacks! haha

[SR240SX]

Stick to a solid colour IMO...

I dont think coupes have the body style to do some crazy 2 tone like that and it would look super ricey and cheap. Especially if it turned out like the sample pictures you posted...

I have silver paint for sale for cheaaap if your interested, Base/clear too not single stage paint.

Those colors are pretty wild.... you trying to grab attention and promote your shop?

Why not do a single color with some crazy vinyl? That way when you get sick of it you can just peal it off.

[Toma]

Nah, a 240 type car is supposed to be loud.... lol. It's a rice car no matter how you dress it up, so why hide the fact.

This is one of my all time favourites ;) But the graphics are kinds $$
