What colour for my S13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My car is looking pretty tired now, so i want to paint it this winter. The car is the original metallic grey with some repainted white wings and original white bumper.

I think an old english white (cream) or maybe a teal/blue (old VW beetle colour) but what do you think, if anyone can do photoshop that would be greatly apreciated

wings = fenders?

Gotta love english to american translation.

are you going to strip the car down to repaint? or are you going to just slap some paint on the outer shell?

I have been looking at a "Metallic cherry wine maroon" color..
