My whole front end needs to be painted later on.... Thinking of painting my car... what yall think? Leave it silver? Kandy red? Or GS400 blue (same as the IS300 blue i think?) Or just paint it same silver with alot of blue pearl?

 

How about that camelon paint, the one that changes colors?

2000 TL - Laguna Green, Navi, Rear Spoiler. PIAA Hyperwhite HB's. 17" CL-S wheels. Soon to have Comptech Suspension, Sways & Axle back Exhaust.

 

The IS300 Blue is gonna look pimp on the TL. Get a cool Blue paint job, man...

I love blue, but the blue TL is too dark of a blue for my taste. So I got the black.

The IS300 blue is perfect IMHO, or the Estroil Blue from the BMW. They are not too light, yet not too dark

 

You gonna paint the whole car? That's gonna cost you man. I would just paint what's need painted and the same color. Where are you getting your car painted. My brother had the front of his Civic done at Apollo Paint and Body Shop on highway 6 and I-10 near the acura dealer. It came out pretty good and I couldn't really tell. I got a scratch on my rear bumper too, I think I'm gonna go there and ask them how much it's going to cost for mine.

Yea, that blue is suhweet! I was looking to paint my '66 'stang the Dodge Viper GTS Blue, which is a little similar to that color. Either a shade of a blue, or yellow..I'm leaning more towards yellow though..easier to do..

You know, I never saw a yellow TL... just a thought for you... LOL

Just my 2 cents...

 

I am all over yellow when I get the dough.

 

Yellow TL? hmmm
might not look to good on a TL? I think I saw someone photoshop it yellow and the TL just lost it's elegance with the yellow.

Yellow doesn't look good when it gets dirty, just like my black TL. But the IS looks great in yellow, and it is one of my fav color. But I don't think I will want to drive a pimp Yellow TL.

I have seen the Chrome Shadow in person. Didn't really like it when I first saw it. But as soon as I compare it to other silver. All other sliver cars look like gray to me...

May that Chrome Shadow painting is sweet....

 

You think I would let my '66 get dirty?

make sure that you do it a color that won't be available on the Type-S. You want something original and to make you stand out. No sense in spending crazy $$ painting it a color that will be close to what the factory will be producing.

 

there is a yellow tl down here it looks sweet its a 97 thought not the current model..yellow will look sweet

Hey Matt, I left my TL with Danny. You can see how my paint turned out...

 

I say the whole car primer grey.

 

nighthawk or onyx black. See how much you can get a reflection off the paint!

Chameleon or CANDY paint is only for Snoop dogg and his cadillacs. I'd go with the bmw blue, black, or the silver looks the best.

Have you seen the illusion paint that gets put on porsches? I saw it in Dupont Registry, in the sunlight, with the reflection, its hard to tell where the cars stops and the road begins.

Dang?!?! You got a '66 'stang too? I'll have to send you some pics. It's a resto-mod project my dad and I have been working on for almost 3 years now. We've only got a few finishing touches left and it'll be back on the road. We basically stripped the car all the way down to unibody... Big project....

 

I kinda like the NSX Kaiser Silver, but something like the blue that was on the SEMA CL might look sweet.
