To paint or not to paint? Color opinions plz..

[MKIV]

Color is your preference, not anyone elses. Go to a paint shop and take a look at some color charts.


Side note, please, for the love of GTRCanada, get rid of those chrome wheelz.

Side note #2;

I'm kidding, keep the 20's if you're into that.

I like the white paint on r33 skyline, not a big fan of chrome wheels on these terms.
I think if you touched up the damage and kept the white, maybe change the clear coat to a pearl coat
I agree with selling both sets of wheels, and getting a set of black wheels. Then you can wrap the hood, roof and trunk and it will look deadly. Droo the stance too and your set. I like the s2 spoiler and white cars with black wheels and black hoods =sex

that green. so sexy. black wheels. HELLO

Those chrome rims you have do NOT look good on the Skyline. It cheapens the appearance of the car and screams ricer. Especially if you want to go with a flashy paint scheme, ditch the bling wheels and go with something dark and racy. A matte orange paint/wrap would look proper with the right aero.

Stage 2 JW0 (millenium Jade green w/ extra clear coat layers) I like those page 1 pics but orange reminds me of an S14 zenki. xP

ridiculous.

So I've decided to take the money and put it into fully restoring the body -any and all the little dings, scratches, ripples, door dents, shipping ripples in the roof that all imports seem to have.. And respray the whole car white again. Just a nice fresh clean new paint job.

The car itself is in very good body shape, but after having the guy from the restoration shop come out and look at the car, he pointed out a buncha little things that I've never even seen before... But I guess little things that any 18yr old car would have. Tiny ripples in the rear quarter from Leaning on the car while refueling, little bit of surface rust inside one of the rear fender wheel wells, Little things that wouldn't bug me, but now they do. Haha

Soooo it'll go in next week for 60 man hours of restoration and then ill have one of the cleanest skylines in Canada! She'll be a brand new car!

As for the 20's ill take them off and put the white wheels back on.. Maybe ill throw them back on for a temporary change sometime in the season, but the tires are getting quite camber worn, and I can't find those tires for under 2k..

Anyways. Ill post up some pics when it's getting painted and then the finished product.

Better learn how to 'glamour park'..

My favorite is bayside blue. But dam that orange looks good! I haven't see that on a skyline before

They're not removing the glass?
This is my biggest debate with my paint job right now.
It will add $1k to do it with the labour, trims, new mouldings, etc. Plus the risk of breaking things (glass, interior pieces, etc..).
I did it on my GTST, and both quarter windows broke, rear parcel shelf desintigrated, and both interior 1/4 trims fell apart.
Let me know how yours turns out around the mouldings and such.....trying to decide if it's worth it

Great choice IMO on sticking with the white.
White car on white wheels with nice dark tint is a great look. Maybe some subtle CF here and there....wicked.

Edit* I'm with evryone else on those 20's. Got an Escalade to put them on?
