Hey I'm getting a paint job cause I have a million + chips, looks terrible. Since the entire car is getting painted, what a great time to change the color! any suggestions? I have seen some greyish colors that look super hot, but I have always liked bright colors too. and there are no green wrx's in america either... so post up some ideas, I prob. only have a week or so to decide. It will be cheaper to change the color cause san remo red is the most expensive toner available! rich reds usually run $400 a gallon+ for the basecoat. Most paint is only 150-300 a gallon for comparason.

I would post up a pic to photochop, but I cancelled gci and havn't registered with an online photo host yet.

Don't get me wrong, I love the red, just seems like a good time to change. needmoney you know what I mean... crap happens and volia, new color! :D

Don't wuss out and go the gray route. I initially wanted silver but fell in love with my Sonic Yellow wagon on sight. Why not be the first 04-05 Sonic Yellow, or try the Lotus Elise orange.

I like a lot of the darker gray colors, and don't think it's wussing out. However, perhaps it's not Jerry's style. I could see you with something bright.

Orange isn't far from your red, and yellow's been done. Green, it'd have to be a cool green I guess. No pea green family truckster.

Blue, no.

That just leaves purple. Or one of those colors that changes at different angles.

Pink.

I'm little to no help.

i nice dark green would look nice with the darker headlights no green WRXs yet

How bout that BMW steel blue/gray color. There was a post about an STi with it a while back. There pics and it looked hot.

hey jerry, I think I still have those pics of your car from the photochop. If you want to post some other pics of some paint colors you'd like, I could apply the colors to your ride.

I just registered photobucket, and am trying to get my old pics off my other partition. I don't have access though grrr. my other system, the admin. user account failed, so it is a mess. will have to take some new pics. car has no wing, and no wing is planned:)

I like that idea, same base metalic, but with a hint of sea-green instead of the baby blue. kinda a frosted look like ducati's frame paint.

here's something close, just too dark, the satin jade pearl in the lower left corner of this chip sheet.

here's what I'd mix to try...
http://www.hokpaint.com/scripts/depot.exe?pgm=showchip6.bbx
KG06 chartruese over

http://www.hokpaint.com/scripts/depot.exe?pgm=showchip1.bbx
FBC02 orion silver (fine)


I think it would be bright, and accent the flares on the sedan nicely. plus not to mention it's a great color to work with, i.e. graphics, carbon, bronze rims... :D

what color is that car? "it's chartrus...charrtrush...cartrhs...it's green dammit."

British racing green!

Sexiest color in the world!

those r hawt but kinda overdone...i say a green color of some sort! :disco:

Glimmering gold, bay-bee! Chrome would have to ask your permission before blinging. :)

I'd go with HOK NE507 green, and some rally green wheels...

i know what you mean but it will be sad to see your beautiful san remo red rex go. Not too many of those up here. Im sure that whatever color u pick will be outstanding and definetly different. Im still a HUGE fan of the Dodge Viper Race Yellow..................one day I will have that color on another one of my cars.

Mike

Kind of partial to the Spirit R's Titanium Grey.

Radar Blue! Chicks dig it.
Or Rosso Barchetta, if you're not opposed to a different shade of red.

NOT purple! or lavendar.... it's ghey! :P

go Lotus Orange, or Nogaro Blue and Imola Yellow on the S4's

I personally LOVE the Santorin blue, woudl be my choice if I repainted. YUMMM or Hibiscus red in a decent light looks awesome too.

You should do a deep, deep crimson/blood red.

Forget all that other crap! Hahaha...


You don't want to stand out THAT much do you? Bring more attention to your ride?

Fusion (sunburst orange)

and there are no green wrx's in america either...

Orange has always been my fav color... I even have photochoped pics of my car in orange on my damn locked hard drive. :furious:

yes, i love orange too. that's how mavrik got my attention. he flashed his fancy spancy fusion orange vibe in front of me..... ;) lol

his fancy spancy fusion orange vibe


crazy canadians... :lol: :D

crazy canadians... :lol: :D

yeah no kiddin.. eh? :P ;)

Seriously though, I'd go a dark color, either deep gray/slate color, deep blue (b4 blurple color, the santorin, etc..) or a deeep red. you feelin me? DEEEEEEEP ;) lol.


Then again, I am not one for flashy bright "Here I am Cops" colors.

That green WRX is ALL OVER the member's gallery...I can't remember his screenname (maybe you can help Lownslow), but there are like 15 threads started by him in the last couple months.

i love those "here i am" colors, but with my driving style, i don't want the cops to know me. lol

Seriously, I think Radar Blue would look absolutely killer on a WRX.

Yep.. it's a high 12 second car last time I saw it... might be faster now.. inno.

I dunno I really like the san remo red, may have to just abandon this idea. what you think about srr and anthricite p1's? I think thats the plan.

wow jerry...orange on P1's!!!! DAYUMM

I still say Lotus Elise orange is the way to go.
