What color should I paint my car?
Ive been thinking about changing the color of my car since i really dont like white that much. i was thinking about just doing a flat black or a bright yellow, not really sure. what color do you guys think would look good for my car?

well depending on what you expect from it there's a couple of options.
if you want it to really stand out
look into a chrome illusion paint job...goes from orange, to green, to red, to blue, etc..
or go with mystichrome
or Sonic Blue is a good color too.

the new Vapor Silver that is on the 08's in nice, I had an 01 GT that was Mineral grey (wish I still had), i currently have a Redfire 07 GT... just like everybody else ( iwould nt do the Redfire). but if you want to POP and get attention... House of Kolor has a color called Candy Apple Brandywine that is just cooler than hell. If i can find some of the pics i have of my mineral grey and the brandywine i will post them.

Hmmm......tough call....obviously you want something to match your interior color scheme....but after that its a matter of personal taste. I prefer metallic colors....they have more "depth"....my laser red metallic is a knockout in the sun Candy colors,flip flop pearls and specialty coatings will cost you a lot of change...but again its your choice and budget.Complete "plain jane" paint jobs arent cheap either. Good luck

One other note....i'd have to agrree with Mixedbreed......chrome illusion is a standout.....i saw it one time at our annual dream cruise...the cruise draws 50,000 to 80,000 classic cars and millions of viewers each year.Tell ya what...go to yahoo or google and search woodward dream cruise.....i'm sure you'll find thousands of pics and some good ideas

ok i finally found a picture of my old 01 GT. the hood treatment was done by a local body shop, i really cant remember what silver we used, since we looked at about 20 different variations, iw ant to say it was off of a 2000 BMW 3 series.

you're wasting more money on a car that's not even really worth putting money into to begin with. the car will never have any value, so why put money into it? sell it and get what you really want.

Sorry all of us don't have V-8's bro... We'll try harder next time...
As for the color. Black is always a solid choice. Then go get yourself the Mach 1 gill delete and the chin spoiler, and you'll have a nice looking ride.

what's wrong with pale *** white? You can make a stormtrooper or any of a zillion other white based options. Work on accentuating the lines of the body and the paint color will be irrelevant.
BTW...that mullet mobile is t3h yuckz0rs. Barf barf retch puke. That only looks good on 96 and 04 cobras and only on a very few of them

ha ha ha ha ha!
Ohsnap, keep it white, get flat-black accents. Paint your grille black again.
White + black = win.

Plus, I'd much rather keep a car that I purchased new.
Selling your car and buying a used one is great, until you realize that someone traded it in because it was developing a transmission problem or something like that.
But we're off topic.
The white is nice. Mine is red, but red paint is uber-expensive.
If your white paint is nice, keep it. I like the look of black, but thats just me.
Get the grill delete and chin spoiler though bro. It does a lot for the look of the front end (i HATE the honeycomb grill)

that's why you take it to your mechanic and let him check it out first. it will have resale value if it's taken care of and maintained, especially more than a v6.

You know what, this is way off topic. I appologize to the original poster. Allow me to get it back on track...
Mixedbreed votes for blue...
