Okay guys. I'm soon going to be painting my car and need your opinions on a colour.

My cars a r32 gtr with a fitted a Bee R* R34 front/widebody conversion. The car is currently gun metal grey and has silver gramlight 57pros.

The cars going to be used as a weekend car, but i don't want it to be too much of a cop magnet as it has engine work, but i don't want it being bland either.

Have considered red and midnight purple aswell but i've narrowed it down to these 3 colours. (But i want some of your opinions aswell.)

White with black bonnet (maybe black boot too)

Satin Black or grey.

Silver/champagne

Note: the cars mainly fibreglass so don't want a color that shows too many imperfections.

THanks

Have u got a pic of that r32?

I wish I did bro

but its similar to the Sun Line R34 GTR, altho it looks satin-ish.

Matt paint job looks like the car just needs a gloss coating to finish it off, but it suppost to be like that...

Give it that whole "Rough, Mean and TUFF" look IMO.

Well i've already done the "show-car" style paint on my r33 before, so no purple or chameleon. Plus purple will show any little imperfections which i don't want as its gonna be street driven.

This car i want to keep rather subtle, as i'm focusing on engine work and would rather a mean looking car than opposed to a show- pony etc.

Thanks mate :P

there is a Matt black R32 GTS-T always up at Balwyn Macca's, i think Matt black looks awesoem but not on skylines, i would go silver with a but of a blue flip in it, white is just boring

Thats they guy who I was talking about in my earlier post!

You know him?

candy33 White and a Black bonnet will look nice aswell.

If I had a R34 it will be White. Looks the best IMO at the same time Satin / Matt Black.

I rekon go the Matt Black just to be different.

    • 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
