You really like that sunset orange? are you going to break it up at all with say a satin black roof/a-pillars/mirrors? and isn’t that a metallic colour? and you are going to add a pearl as well? ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/420000-420999/420986_72_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/420000-420999/420986_72_full.jpg) [http://forums.son240sx.ca/showthread.php?t=5184](http://forums.son240sx.ca/showthread.php?t=5184) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/powerlink485/collection/IMGP0972.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/powerlink485/collection/IMGP0972.jpg) **^this is an example of what I am talking about breaking up the colour.** ---

(to some it may look horrible now.) It takes some balls to drop the cash on a paint job when you have no idea how the car will wear it. And no offence, but if my S13 were “Yellow” You wouldn’t find a pic of it anywhere ---

ya well thanks for the comment i guess, and i like the yellow but im ready for a change, i have pics of the S13 in the 350 copper and i like it. to each there own. as for the black roof i am thinking of painting it black, but im not decided yet. i have a carbon hood on it now so black may look good with the paint, and yes the sunset orange paint does have a factory pearl/metalic in it but we are making it more yellow so the paint color will change in the different light. i like that color green on the other 240 aswell. the reason i am thinking of doing the roof body color is to be differnt cause every 240 you see with a re spray has been painted black. i will have pics up when it gets sprayed ---

Black roof lines/a-pillars/hood/mirrors will look wicked on ANY hatch against any two-tone color on the bottom. Its just the way the s13 is man. ---

Why do you guys keep calling S13 hot? What are you guys smoking? But let’s see the pics? And S13 need 3 colour or more too look even close to being good. Multi-colour or bust haha. ---
