spacepants_fb Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hi everyone, In 2 weeks I'll be putting my car in for a respray. The only issue is I can't decide what color to go with - Lexus ISF blue or Audi white (like the one found on the A5 or the RS6). Just wanted to get your opinions - oh and the car that is going to be resprayed is: I'll be changing the front bumper back to the series 2 front bumper with a Viva garage BL type lip. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392998-opinions-on-what-color-for-respray-r33/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMGTR17 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Dont narrow yourself down to just two options man. Head into the paint shop thats doing the work or just your local paint supplier and ask to have a look at their colour cards. You'll spend hours just flicking through colour after colour wondering what she'll look like. Trust me, I get sucked into looking at them for a while at work every now & then!! Check out some of the euro colours, ie: BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lambo. They have some great colours available. Just my 2c anyway. Keep us posted on what you decide man Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392998-opinions-on-what-color-for-respray-r33/#findComment-6258012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamskill Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 i voted other. there are SO MANY different colours to choose from these days. not just custom colours, but manufacturers have HEAPS to choose from too. go look through a BMW catalogue, or even jump on the USA nissan web site and have a look. dont limit yourself to 2 random colours.

V28VX37 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 How about matte red for something different? Revinora M3 (from here): 5-series wagon at Wekfest (from here): Could be exxy though...

spacepants_fb Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks for the input everyone. I guess the reason I narrowed it down is because I'm already partial to these two colors. The sepang bronze is beautiful but I think it would only look good on a skyline that has more extensive mods. The day of the respray is looming closer...decisions, decisions!

GTR-N1 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 From your two options, I'd go for blue. Me? Having owned a midnight purple R33 before, I'd go for MP2 for a step up.

spacepants_fb Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Noted Terry. And I can only dream of having a similar garage as yourself. Decision made - dropping the car off this Saturday. I'll post pics once the car has it's new lick of paint.

spacepants_fb Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Completely forgot about this topic. At the end, after tossing and turning and looking at different color cards as suggested, I decided to go for the audi white. Looks simple and clean and it won't be a color that will go "out of fashion" so to speak. Here are some recent photos of it after the respray: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392998-opinions-on-what-color-for-respray-r33/#findComment-6472122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon 34 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Checkout DNA paints you'll change your mind lol Based in melborne The blue sapphire candy is nice , intense blue Diamond clear it Would be stunning White a good one is 88 rx 7 anniversary white Rare colour its whiter then white when sprayed on white primer , its so white it picks up the blue tint in street lights at night like a candy Blue My old rx was painted that way . Its hard to describe but on white primer its crazy white , the factory used grey and thats still whiter then qm1 white nissan , most likely repaint my r34 next year that colour its WOW for a non pearl white Pearl white looks nice but is a pain to keep nice Had a pearl white and candy blue toyota truck , forget touchups on pearls and candys its near impossible Love the blue and s3 purple 34's but unless my car was stripped bare i wouldnt change the colour to far from current imo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392998-opinions-on-what-color-for-respray-r33/#findComment-6472552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
