sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, i dont know about everywhere else, but here where i live, 1400$ gets a professional paint job, there is a guy that does a 1400$ full body straightening/paint with jambs for 1400$.
if there are vinyl stickers you want he will not put them on, he will paint them on, and perfect, he's no half *** painter, his work, compared to anything ive ever seen, is of equal quality, ive seen cars at car shows where the people tell me they paid 8000-12000 for paint work, his work is of equal quality.
im so lucky to live in a place where you can get great quality for cheap

Ok if you wanna go red there is one color that is the absoulte ****. Super Clear Red II, its a Nismo 400r color and is only avalible on Nismo model Nissan cars as a facotry color. It is so nice. Ill post some more Nissan colors because they have some sweet looking colors.

omg... the skyline blue is sooo hot! I have a poster in my room of it. I agree... Nissan has been pretty genius when it comes to their catchy and bold colors. I kinda hate the copper/orange for the 350, though. It would look nice on an FC with a body kit, but I couldn't wake up every morning to that color. I'd get bored with it.

oh you like the blue huh how about that color on a FC I happen to be putting it on my GTU and I had it photoshopped to make sure I am getting what I paid for. The rims I am not to sure about but they look hawt. I may go with R32 wheels in yokohama rubber. Or I may go old school with the Super Advans like the tripoint ones. Oh yeah that would be hot.
I know it is a little darker But I had Krok(thanks so much again) photshop it and this was another blue for the 400r. So it was close enough for me to say"damn I am so glad i didnt spend all that money on the paint sitting beside me then decide I dont like it".

Mmmm paint....I had an idea for when I get myself a 90 TII. I had thought of going with either a flat black or satin black, no gloss...gloss is evil to keep clean. Then I would have to find a nice tribal design for the whole car but its color would be a deep black cherry red, with a preferable metal flake in it. Then to top it all off use a set of RS Watanabe rims, not the 4-lug but the 5s.

Well I am working on the car on and off now it is a good 45min from my house at my uncles body shop. I have been playing around with some cardboard and my old paint color. The silver blue my GTU is right now. I used the cardboard to see what it looks like with mouldings removed and filled. It is nice on a red and darker color but not the current color of my car. The mouldings will be painted to match along with a couple of other Items from jpan. I will not use the word JDM. It is the anticrist.
Rims are from a R34 Skyline and are avalible only on the s-tune. I am pretty sure. They are a nismo rim(outsorced to rays I believe.). I want fricken r32 rims but cant find a good set anywhere.

Here's my fc on Jack stands so pretty high and kinda dusty
Thanks guys... keep em coming!! Posting pics helps!! And nope, not sure I like the idea of a bright-*** pink car sitting in my driveway, but orange looks really neat. My favorite is something with metal flake. *drool* I like stuff that I can stare at for HOURS. hehe
By the way, how the hell do I post pictures on here? I am going to post what mine looks like now.

Since this threads been resurrected I'll chime in. I'd like to paint mine the color of my wife's Mazda3. It's black with a metallic look to it. I think Brilliant Black Mica is what Mazda calls it. In the short term I need to fix my rust spots and I'll probably rattle can it satin black until such time I can get it done right.
