PaintJob
Hey guys
I own a 96 gs with black altezzas which are supposed to arrive any m inute now actually.
Unfourtunately I got some minor rust but before it spreads im gonna fix it and paint it afterwards.
Right now its black but since im painting it I wonna paint it some other color.
So my question is If you were re-painting your car which color would u choose?????
If you want u can attach pictures to show what u mean.....
The ones I got in mind are
1) Pearl White
2) Midnight Blue
3) candy apple red
4) pearl black

Re: PaintJob
I probably wouldn't stray too far from the original color so, from the list, recommend pearl blk. That is, unless you're prepared to pay extra $$ for the repaint job to include engine bay, door and hatch jambs + inside-facing surfaces of the doors and hatch. My MX is orig. Mazda chaste white. Thinking about a paint job next spring with either OE paint or a slight metal flake added, but still keeping it white.Amma351 wrote:...Right now its black but since im painting it I wonna paint it some other color.

Re: PaintJob
Done a year and a half ago...original "UF" white. If I had to do it all over again, I'd add a little pearl/metalflake twist to the original colour, thus eliminating the potential unsightly gawdiness of off colour engine bays, jams, hatches etc, etc, etc.93SOHC wrote:Ditto!neutral wrote:I probably wouldn't stray too far from the original color so, from the list, recommend pearl blk.

Yea, stick with your instincts. If you are going to pull your motor out and every panel off the car then yea, change it to any color you want.
Personally I LOVE black and I would keep it that. Only problem for me though is that it gets dirty as soon as I move the car. I'm in the process of prepping mine now to get painted. Doing all the work myself and just have to pay for the cost of materials to get it painted. I'm going to stay with the black color also. Can't wait to see how beautiful it is after I get the new rims on and wet sand and buff the whole car.
