Gona paint my car? Can't choose which yellow
You, sir have posted my favorite M3 in my favorite M3 Color.
However, I'm not sure that it would look very good on a G35 Coupe, as curvy cars deserve colors that accentuate variations.
Without the stripes:
Or:
But, if you must go yellow, I suggest BMW's Phoenix Yellow:

Thanks guys! here's the deal
Yeah I can only choose yellow or blue because those are the company colors. He was considering white. But G35's come in that blue already. So that's why I was swaying to go yellow. Well the deal is, he pays for the paint job, we got a hook up at Maaco that does good full color changes in OEM quality finish just like off the lot. Yeah I know .. maaco maaco..etc.. but he does seperate OEM finish jobs on the side, my boss is good friends with him. So for $500 out of my boss's pocket, and I get a paint job he usually charges 2000 for. If I add my $500, For $1000 I get a paint job he usually charges $4000 for. My shop is stripping off the moldings and taking off the glass, I"ll post up pics later. So.. I've eliminated Rally Yellow from the camaro.. Now after your suggestions, I guess I'd have to start a poll?

I'm a bit confused...you're only allowed those three colors on your *personal* car because they're the same colors as the company you work for? I suppose for a cheap paint job though....I'd go with the same blue as the Z's myself.

My paint job deal
well it is on my personal car but I use it to go to work everyday. So the deal is, I get it painted in company colors, have company stickers on the windshield glass and the side glass. I then get $100 a month for my insurance and paid oil changes. Plus not to mention the new paintjob. I'm trying to get free rims out of the deal too.. I asked today.. he said "maybe"

I spent 1300 on legit materials for my novas paint. If i had any advice about paint, it doesnt matter what color you paint it as long as you like it. But dont EVER cheap out on paint. It will bite you in the rear in the long run. So make sure the guy is 100% legit.
1000 bucks for a complete color change seems low though.

PPG Paint
Well, it's high quality PPG waterbase basecoat / regular VOC clear. I heard PPG is OEM to ferrari and Lambo. So I'm still torn. I just talked to the owner and it's a possibility that I may be able to get the bumblebee yellow from transformers, it's the white base with pearl..He wants to try it cuz he never done it before and is feeling adventureous. Too crazy? what you think... I dunno.. I'm so confused..I thought it was all gonna get cleared up by this thread..Maybe I should start a poll? Thanks again guys.. your the best!
