Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior paint job

hmm.. i just got into a little accident and i'm getting my whole front redone and repaint.. the color of my car right now is Championship white.. i don't know should i keep my car this color or should i paint it another.. I was looking forward to paint the car either nighthawk black pearl or nsx grand prime white.. any suggestion? one more question.. do anyone know of a really nice midnight blue color?

black...the only color i would pick for my car

if you can afford it, i definately recommend getting a custom color repaint.or at least a color that does not come stock with a celica

black is a very nice color, but it is also very hard to see details with black

i like a lot of candy colors also, such as candy red or candy orange, gunmetal, or a midnight blue. the autoshop your car is in should have a color chart...it's a very good idea to take a lot of time and look at it. a lot of colors you may have never even thought about (or even knew existed) are there and it can give you a better feel of what you think is the best way to go for your car

yea i can afford the paint job.. black does seem nice, but white is also clean that why i'm stuck with either white, black or midnight blue. i don't want any original white or black paint you know.. and i just want my car to look nice because i'm thinking of putting a kaminari kit on.

well the 3 you have choosen i think would look nice... i am just biased on black but yeah white is my second favorite on celicas

definitley take your time and look over the color charts that your body shop can provide. obviously this is a decision you have to stick with for a while unless your loaded out your ass. my advise would be to go with a custom color, such as a candy or pearl.

why not buy the body kit first before you do a total repaint?

just my 2 cents worth

the kam kit dont look good with black..its not really noticeable

the kam kit looks good in any color

Out of those 3, go with Midnight blue.

thanks for the suggestion guys.. After a talk with one of my friend, she said I was to obsess with white hahaha.. Yea I think i was too. First it was super white, then championship white and I was thinking the NSX white. Now when I think of it Candy Red does look nice or the NSX blue would look nice too.. Does anyone have any nice paint job. I would like to find out more nice looking color beside white and black.

do you guys think candy orange would look nice on the celly?

Candy orange would be nice, but candy red is better IMO.

Looking back at the colors I think i might go with the Grand Prix white.. Do you guys think it would look nice on the celly? Candy Red is also nice but it doesn't look as nice as white. Candy Orange seem a little ricey but it looks nice though. Black I love, but it get dirty quick haha.. Damn!

OR, if you really have money, get a sand blasted paintjob, makes your car look like it's made of suede, it's HOT

go candy orange , I want to see it

to change the color of the car is really expensive, you're looking in the ballpark of at a minimum of 2500 if done by proffessionals and not maaco. but definately worth every penny.

you're obsessed with the color white

go with the NSX blue.

If you are getting Candy colored paint, get Candy Red...nice.

keep it white

well thx for all the advices haha.. yea i'm getting it done by a professional. Hooked up because I know the owner of the company haha.. Well he's planning to do a custom white paint color. white as white can be, we'll see how it turn out. If I don't like it, I'll probably think about changing it later when I'm completely done with my exterior mod.

im in the same situation, im planning on the same thing. gonna repaint it either black or gunmetal.
