Which one do you think looks better? Battleship gray or Silver Green Pearl? I have white rims. One tone paint.

Is this going on a legit S14 Kouki or an S13.4 conversion?

Oh, who am I kidding? Battleship wins either way.

Neither. Both colors look too light and battleship grey reminds me of rustoleum roller paint jobs.

going onto a s13 coupe with stock front end.

I would say the grey, just because it will match the white wheels better. What are the wheels?

Silver green pearl IMO looks good with white rims. My buddy has a prelude with very similar color and white rims. Looks good.

That is not battleship gray, its too light. Maybe more along the lines of battleship gray after it has been on for a few months and faded before it turns a pink gray color. That and it is not a gloss finish like on the car.

Yes this is overcast but this is more along the lines of the shade when it is fresh.

I second this. Battleship gray is a lot darker.

HAHA

Your old car was exactly what I was thinking about when I saw the picture OP posted up of an s14 kouki with grey paint. I didn't think you'd pick up on it. Another pet peeve of mine is the pulled fenders to stuff those 17x10 FN01RCs up front

I met Lloyd at Southland Mall probably some 10 years ago to buy his s14 se wheels (which I still have). I doubt he remembers me, but he told me Signal did the work on his car so he must have some crazy ass s14. I hope his car is still bad ass even if you influenced him to paint it grey.
