I always wanted to do a nice midnight blue, but I stuck with my black. Every car I ever has was black, getting tired of it actually.

If I were to paint my car, I would be debating between these colors.


NSX Blue i.e. Eric's CL a.k.a Katana18 <---- He would never know since he will never return.
Gunmetal - sort of like Scott's a.k.a CLpower

are they going to paint your engine bay too? i have been thinking of repainting my car too but by engine bay is the same color as my body so i think it will look ghetto if the body and door jams are one color and engine bay another.

btw, i think Anthracite would look hot

Repaint it another kind of silver, then you won't have to worry too much about the engine bay cause all the dirt will make it not so noticable.

they do have chrome paint but its illegal in the US. i think my color is awesome
its cyclone blue. what you need to ask yourself is. what color clothes do you mostly wear. clothes matching your car is pimp. i wear mostly blue jeans with white shirts and shoes and silver chain and watch. so i have a blue car with white/chrome accents. the ladies love it. drive up in a blue and white car and step out with blue jeans white shirt and shoes. all yall dudes might think thats gay and shit but most girls go for good color coordiantion skills. but it sometimes gets you into long shopping trips where they ask you "do these shoes match this shirt." it pays off tho when they go shoppin for underwear.
