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

    So I recently had some paint damage to my car, so I'm painting it again.
    Currently my car is white and I have a set of white 18's and chrome 20's that I swap out as the mood strikes
    I looove white cars, but since I have the option, I'm playing with the idea of changing the color..
    Here is a couple of pics as my car is now, and some color options I'm thinking about..
    The intention of this thread is to get a few opinions and or ideas

      Here is my car now

      And here is a few color ideas on other r33's
      I'm a big fan of the orange...

      And here is a purple one I had in australia for a bit -recognize the wheels? I kept them and shipped them to Canada to put on my skyline now.

      Soooooo there u have it. I really like white, but then it's just another white car on the road.. And any of these colors would look good with the white wheels

      Thoughts?

          r34 blueside (i think thats the name) with the white rims. I really don't like chrome wheels on import.....

          Edit - Don't hate me for not liking your 20s >.<

              Nice car, I think White is a great color besides doing a color change properly is time consuming and expensive. I vote for leaving it white and using the money you saved for some wheels that are a bit more race inspired, sorry not feeling those wheels either.

                Yeah white r33's look nice. I would just repair the paint damage. All the colours you showed are pretty bold. If you don't have a modified car to fit it you'll just look like a 20year old car with a fast and furious paint job

                  Bayside blue is a sweet color, but there's 2 other r33s in the area that are that color, one is an r34 conversion. It's sweet..

                  Yikes! I would never so mudnight purple... I've NEVER seen a r33 gtr that isn't midnight purple.. I'm going for individuality..
                  Not hatin on the purple 33gtrs just sayin..





                  No one likes my 20's. they're pretty huge for the car, looks a bit like big clown shoes, ill conceit to that, but they're pretty shiny and flashy up close... And I've had them on 2 skylines and 2 supras.. They have sentimental value But yes I do like the white rims better, and they're much faster wheels.. So the white ones will be on there more often then not.



                  No one likes the orange? I've never seen an orange skyline in person but the pictures look good..

                        Pearl white looks nice. So does pearl black in correct light.

                        To make it different, you can get paint (I think it's the clearcoat) that changes to a purple or colour of your choice. I have seen it on a light red GTR and it turns purple in the highlight's (when look at car on a different angle when sunlight is on car). It's a rare paint job outside Japan, but seems to be popular in Japan.

                          that orange is ok, but any color from the r35 is better Why dont you get some aero too while youre at it. R33 Gtst Aero is kinda blah, just my opinion.

                            I'd keep it the same mon frere. I find the other options are super attention grabbing. All depends on personal taste obviously, I find that those colours attract a different kind of attention. Not "wow look at that clean, classy car" but "wow give me some sunglasses for mr. rice's car over there"

                              I like the white? It looks good. Im not much for flashy cars though so my point is kind of invalid.
