New paint for g need help.

Hey guys,

I will be painting the g soon, but i cannot decide on whether i want Star fire or Glacier Frost Mica. I was hoping i can get some opinions on which one is better. As far as the body, its all OEM(bumper,sides, rear).

This is how it sits right now...


Thanks in advance.

I have seen a few red ones in the MSP area.

Who is doing the paint job, and is it being done right? ie: Removing all trim, doors, hood, bumers, windows, ect?

What does the color of your car have to do with your suspension? Haha

If you want to change the color of your car you should go for it, and if you like Brickyard the best that should be your choice.

Jaime, I say just do the brickyard red and paint your wheels black. Later down the road you can get a front lip and some wheel spacers.

What shop are you going to?

Jaime, why go with a color everyone else has? Step out where no one has ventured with a G, consider House of Color "ROOT BEER!" I had a 280Z that color with gold wheels and got lots of thumbs up....always!

Still afraid to do something different, Brickyard red is still red like every other LR G on the street! No one will know you painted your G going with either color, it may cost a few more $$ but go thru the House of Color choices and stand out from the crowd....Gary
