I'v spent days looking on paint and car site's so hard to choose a colour that i like and will suit my car so im thinking of mixing it up (adding a pearl or base) so im thinking candy blue with pink pearl, a lighter candy apple red with more gold,monza red with gold pearl or metal flakes and the famous orange with gold pearl.

my car has

trust frount bar

4 door lights

eye lids

vented fenders

c/f jet speed bonnet

400r side skirts

400r rear bar

gtr wing/with nismo end caps

and 18s

I like all those candy colours :)

Orange with gold pearl is really nice a mate had that colour on a R33 then sprayed it a pinky/purple and thats even nicer....

I reckon mix up an original color aswell

Quite a few of the drift cars have the camouflaged airbrushing.

This colour would be better suited to evade police detection:

What do you think?? It's called Stealth :worship:

Would however luv to see a R33 with candy blue or even blue chrome :D

I wanted to paint my car snow camo or desert camo. But then thought about the police getting all excited when they see me coming.

So oh well.

I think paint it black with a pink pearl in it.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Or KAHKI.

should paint it "chrome" was watching the drifting on sbs yesterday and there's an s15 in the da rounds now that painted "chrome" and who's he sponsored by? Austosalon of course, haha!

but seriously i've always loved the r33 GTR purple!

just go with what you want and don't let anyone influence you, as long as your happy thats all that should matter!

I was just doing more searching on the net and found a sick colour harlequin, always been told you can't just paint one panel if you damage it cant see it being true and im sure pricers have come down big time with this paint.

also from what ive heard with custom colours insurance can be an issue

mate was goin to buy a datto 1600 from nsw, had a house of kolor paint job

couldnt get comprehensive insurance quoted here because of the paint being so expensive

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
