Photochoppers inside please. What color to paint car?

If i got my car painted what color should i get it done?

I was thinking graphite grey pearl, but i have doubt because of the shape of the car.

Lexus GGP:


Mitsu GGP:



On a RX7, i fell in love with this car:



I would want the car one complete color too.

Other colors i have thought of:

White pearl from a 3S.
All black (not sure kind of tired of that look everywhere else, but its still cool)
Metallic blue from a cobra or mid 90s vette.
A green of some sort.


Thanks for putting up with me and my ADD.

Aaron

Re: Photochoppers inside please. What color to paint car?

A few colors I like a lot are the funky ass gray Audi uses on the TT's. Almost a flat gray Aviator Gray is the color http://www.flickr.com/photos/fleur-design/1679499161/

The other is the Black Pearl that Subaru used on the WRX for a couple of years. A real subtle pearl. You can't tell there is a pearl in it until you are up close to it. And it has a tint of brown to it.

And as you said, Pearl White is always a good color too.

I would focus money toward modifying the suspension in such a way that it's tucking 20's all around and the frame is 2" from the ground. Just do that, then paint a big penis on the hood.

Re: Photochoppers inside please. What color to paint car?

Just get black headlight covers(or the CF type R jdm stuff), keep it panda.

1ga's look tits with the popups eliminated and the hood just welded smooth so there is no "pop up".

As for photoshopping the pics, it'd be a pain in the ass, sun glare or a dark ass pic. Get a good side pic or side/front pic at a level height. Don't upload them to whatever site in thumbnail size if that's why they're so small.

Re: Photochoppers inside please. What color to paint car?

^Thank you sir for the help, i have been thinking about blacking the front lights and i have been wanting to "weld" the popups, but the hood is fiber.

Are those ok? I attached some pics.

Re: Photochoppers inside please. What color to paint car?

That just made your car look 10x better to us who've only seen it on the internet. That's tits.

Sell the 'fiber and do a little body work on a/the stock hood.

yer fenders dont match.

Re: Photochoppers inside please. What color to paint car?

based on my attempt to make your car GGP in photochop, and since the color replacement tool has issues working with white as the initial color, I suggest you leave it white... please. I was only able to convert colors other than white so your hood worked, but even then it didn't really look that great. I think that color doesn't go well with the shape of the 1g, but just my opinion.

^I have been thinking the same thing, turns out my fiancee has photoshop and we been messing with it.

I just want something one color, not flashy or that stands out.
