So what do you guys like as far as paint? I want to do my TA in dark metallic blue with silver ground effects. I know alot of people do that but its sooo damn sexy on those cars. Although I may do like a deep metallic red instead. I really like this one I found on car domain but I want more flake in the paint and the spoiler will be blue as well.

Eh I think the two tone give the car more personality.

Hmm what colors would look good. I kind of like matte black too. Does that scratch easily?

I’m not a fan of two-tone. It’s another trend. Pick a nice, rich black or red, or hugger orange.

the two tone looks nice, but don’t paint the spoiler or the “scoop” on the fender
jet black and silver would look nice IMO… fits that era of car perfectly

I think if you body match the wing/mirrors/duct it would look 100000 times better than that car you have a pic of.

:tdown: to any black unless you have amazing upkeep on your paint, which I’m sure you don’t. Leave black to the show cars and weekend cruisers

if you want a deep glitter put a black base coat then put either a blue candy and then blue pearl in the clear or you can skip the candy, and just put blue pearl in the clear, also dont bother with flake unless u want just a dull glitter here and there but if you want more of a shimmer go pearl

JEG- If you go blue of some sort maybe we could get a bunch and split it to split cost?
I’m looking for a blue similar to that for my e30 🙂
