Paint and ideas

Post by Pidge »

My black spray job was just to get me one colour through the winter so I have booked the time out and will be finishing the car in the first week in March. The only problem is colour and how to have the carbon with the colour sceme. I was thinking along the lines of this...

I enjoy your number plate.

I would have loved to have done mine this colour. Seriously love this colour.

How ever I don't think brown and blue would work so well!

Bayside blue or LV4 both from the R34 are lovely colours!

The Focus ST blue (I am thinking of the S3, might be different on earlier models?) Is also a really nice blue, might be a bit cheaper being a ford colour as well!

So many blues to choose from!

P:S Ill PM you about that glass once I have got it out! :thumleft:

Yeah, it is nice but want a little more in your face kind of colour.

This was the last car I modified...

That was done in TV2 Bayside blue with an added 30g or pearl :thumleft: I don't really want to do it the same colour again but I really do love it :-#

Its Midnight Purple III. Ultra Rare and JDM only but an authentic Nissan paint.

Code LX0 but even then not many body shops would mix it for you...

love that colour, only issue with flips is if the ever need touching up it gets very expensive (not to mention buying the paint in the first place.
do like the bronze colour as well.
bayside blue is a good colour and goes well with carbon as well

MG Dark Fantasy. I did not have this car but had a different 'monogram' color, Spectre. These paints were £800 a litre when new and only made by DuPont but now ICI make them and its more like £150 a litre.

Yeah LV4 I suggested is also a GTR colour.

There is LV4 and LV3 one came on the 33 the other came on the 34.

I looked at LV4 but at £320 a liter from Nissan I wasn't financially able to :pale:

Personally I wouldn't use that.
It's Honda-like.

Yellow/black and white/black are always a good combo.
Wouldn't go blue/black either.
Black with black I could consider as well (perhaps matt black)

So the save choices are yellow and white.


I too love that brown!
