If you're going black to white, you'll also want to paint the engine bay and door jams

It may not be much different than black, but a dark purple color would be sweet IMO. You cold also leave the engine bay black and not look like you skimped out on a full paint job

Candy Brandywine if you like deep reds.


If I was given 1 - 2k for a paint job, that's what I'd do.

if you dont have a colour picked yet you probably shouldnt shell the dollars to get it done.

the idea of painting the car is great but get a plan before u put it to action

sunset bronze mica off of the new toyota venza
... i dunno why, but i really love this color, in person it looks soo good IMO


if you're unsure about colors though, why not go to a few new car dealerships, or an automall, if you have one in your city...that's what i did, and it helped quite a bit

it should be a colour you have seen on a car in motion.

it should be a colour that you don't see every day.

it should be a colour that when the sun hits it, it takes your breath away.
