Dont Paint It, In My Opinion, You Kill The Value Of It, But It Will Look Hot.

if you're going to paint it, just make sure you go to a guy that is very reputable and if possible speak to previous customers of the shop. I know that my after market paint job has got a life time warranty and you should want the same for your G too

^ Love the avatar pic, that peral looks so nice could you post some pics of your G? i love the TS front + KS rear bumper combo not to hi jack post

Anyway...the only way i would ever decide to paint my G a non OEM color would be if i was going all out and stripping the car to its frame like previous people have said, think its the only way to do it if you gonna paint your car, especially a show car

Its all about taste. If you like the current color now? Run with it.
If you dont...time to think about color choices.

Everything got done on the few show cars Ive had. Including under carriage.

Biggest draw back is . Dont let it get hit? My G/F opened the door into
a freaking fire hydrant. Nice size ding/middle of door on a 3 color pearl
scheme with 3-D graphics. Whole car had to get re-done. No way to blend
it.

Prior to that she won me 4 Best Of Shows

Try BMW's Laguna Seca blue!! Always wanted to see that color on a G. Different from Daytona 350Z blue and the G's Carribean Blue/Athens Blue but should still stand out.
