Painting My Gtr

[SRB]

im painting my gtr in 2 weeks as im over it being green and i want it to be fresh when my new engine combo goes in.

ive got a dry carbon bonnet and boot coming, cf top secret rear diffuser, cf front abflug diffuser, cf n1 side pods and cf n1 lip to contrast it a bit and a fair bit of carbon in the interior also.

im leaning towards white as i love white and it just looks clean.

wheels will be 18x10.5 for track and 19x10.5 for every day. and in complete contrast so depending which colour the car is maybe white black or orange haha

jus seeing what everyone else thinks if they could do the same and get some feedback

oh and i hate black, pink, etc etc lol

thanks for the input in advance!

alpine white

galaxy grey

midnight purple

majik blue

current look

Like the blue.

Just wondering how , what did you use to get colours for the car shapes and make the car shapes

What colours can you choose from?

[SRB]

hey buddy, they are house of kolor colours, and they have a gallery which puts all the colours on the car shapes automatically so u can view the colours available

[God_speed]

I also like the blue, but I like more subdued colours. The carbon bonnet you're getting would then look a bit more stealth-like. The white's pretty cool too but both the white and "galaxy grey" are pretty close to existing R32 colours, so the other two (blue / purple) would make your car look more exotic if that's what you're after.

The green on your car is already a custom colour? Never seen a green GT-R before...

ok im not voting nor do i often lend advice to the cosmetic section cos most of you end up doing dumb shit to your cars anyways ie balsa wood spoiler mod (lol)

anyways - the colour of car you want is going to be the one YOU decide on - nobody else

all i have to offer in the way of advice would be bias from myself... being that i personally drive a white car, (not pearl - it's ACTUAL white)

and... all colours look fantastic... hands down they would all look good on a GTR... thing is - how "aftermarket" are you trying to make the car look? are you going for a "modified" look or a look that whispers to you...

if modified - purple and blue are great

the galaxy grey .... i wouldn't bother - it's too much the same as what you already have to warrant getting a respray i think

but that white - white is a very under-assuming colour... here's some things i have to tell you about white

it NEVER shows it's age (my car's 20 years old and the paint is still better condition than most newer cars)

it makes cars look brand new - you compare a white R32 and line it up next to a black / charcoal one - you'll see what i mean

it NEVER goes out of style

it's a grown ups colour - none of this wasabi green / burnt orange / electric blue crap you see on commodores now

it doesn't attract unwanted attention from bogans telling you to drop a skid + less attn from police

it contrasts PERFECTLY with the other parts of your car ie: white paint on black tinted windows, black tyres, white paint complimenting nice wheels, white paint bringing out chrome headlights etc... and defining the gaps in the slotted GTR grill even more giving it that oldschool charming look - and hey, you're getting a diffuser and carbon parts... what better way to show them off??

white represents CLEAN. you see a white tshirt and you think CLEAN. white bedsheets, CLEAN... white peop - -(kidding)

purple and blue - looks GREAT at an autoshow off, but on the street looks a bit tacky IMO

not to shoot you down on your choices this is merely my opinion... but white is just one of the best colours there is

[R33Matt]

I think White is kind of boring... I have a White R33 and I think it looks great, but if I could re-paint it, Midnight Purple for sure!! lol

White is good, but not fantastic, that Blue also looks pretty Mint!

I would say either the Midnight Purple or Blue... But for neat stock look the grey would look pretty good.

Just my 2 cents

Lol. Love the way you dissected that post Terry.

Nice

[R34 -_-]

that silver/gray would look nice. if you have the money go for iridescent white

[SiR_RB]

cant beat midnight purple on a gtr

[bLaQ.bOi]

the colour of my old GTR..f**k i miss it

was painted in japland... but i used to work at haymes paint, and we did the best colour match we could was about 98 percent correct.

looking at $1270 per litre

white with carbon bits = yummy

however a lot of people will say white is a boring color, but if your after that true JDM look (and with all those carbon goodies it seems like it) i would highly recommend it

ive got white and got only black painted parts on my 32 and it still gets heaps of appraise the cars 21years old and still looks the goods

i agree with the comments about white for all those reasons and thats y im inclined more on the white than the others but just thought id get some feedback n see what others like and maybe i could be pursuaded haha

I think White is kind of boring... I have a White R33 and I think it looks great, but if I could re-paint it, Midnight Purple for sure!! lol

Just my 2 cents

white is boring but a fresh white white always looks good,

cant beat midnight purple on a gtr

but ild paint the carbon bits aswell (?)

i wont be painting the carbon bits otherwise id just have got normal fibreglass parts ye the midnight is coming to be my 2nd choice atm after white

white with carbon bits = yummy

however a lot of people will say white is a boring color, but if your after that true JDM look (and with all those carbon goodies it seems like it) i would highly recommend it

ive got white and got only black painted parts on my 32 and it still gets heaps of appraise the cars 21years old and still looks the goods

hey ye i iagree the white with carbon looks awesome and is a good contrast and white never goes thru phases of coming in and out of fashion

-------------------------

well after lookin at many pics and things its either comin down to white or midnight purple, white because i love it and great contrast and the timeless look and the purple because a nice deep gloss gives it that look and also gives the carbon parts a stealth look and less po po attention and also its not as common colour as all the others! so theres 2 totally different looks but i gotta pick which way i wanna go, thanks for all the comments

f*kn hard choice

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

white with heaps of carbon i reckon would be the best looking thats what im doing with my 34

btw where r my door trims lol

cheers

White is my favourate colour for 32 GTR's

Followed closely by gmg..

And silver

And black

Pretty much anything except that dirty maroon colour..

You won't regret it either way! Hard to make a 32 GTR look bad
