So im repainting my 06 g coupe from diamond graphite to whatever I decide...
Doing everything except the bay... waiting for winter when I pull my motor to match that up....
I was on the fence about 5 coats of crystal blue pearl over diamond graphite but now im thinkin I can paint the car whatever I want soo....

What I had in mind

Sorry fuzzy cell. pic

Thanx guys!!

 

Serges, if that's a color you like go for it! 86% of all the coupes and sedans on the street are DG, anything would be a pleasant change. While you're at it paint those yellow calipers black or silver, they take the focus off your beautiful (soon to be) blue pearl coupe!

I like the color but to spend 5k+ on a oem color im gunna try n expand my horizans... lol
The calipers will stay yellow until its painted to see how it goes w the flow and I can change that whenever...

 

Black

 

Ewww... shane no black ur nuts hate that color...

 

IMHO, don't do pearl. If you get in any accidents, wanted to add new parts and have to paint them, most places have alot of trouble matching pearl colors. It looks awesome but a pain to deal with if something bad happens.

 

Don't do any OEM colors. Paying that kinda money and looking like a regular coupe is just wrong.

 

Seriously Serges........yellow calipers couldn't flow worse if they were RED flashing stop signs! Have you looked into Smurf blue, we have a member here with a coupe that color....flipin beautiful!

Def doin pearl I gotta a great painter hes gunna be working on all my cars now

 

do a lambo grey

 

They were darksideg35s old akebonos when I bought them I think they flow fine w dg... just like porsches and ferraris that can change but it depends on what color I choose for paint relax gary..

 

Consider yourself lucky Serges, really good painters are very hard to find. Have you looked at House of Color paint? I was at GNRS in January looking at all their bitchen colors, they have hundreds of variations even "Pearl Smurf Blue!"

My painter is a house of kolor retailer... hes got them all im not crazy about smurf blue...
This guy is crazy good at painting too he can do anything plus he does fab work like shaving my door handles installing poppers and everything else... he usually works on way cooler cars than the g... im gunna wait til I see new samples tomorrow but so far I like some blues that hok has on there site...

 

Orange

 

I like OEM colors. If you like a pearl, the 2013 Nissan GT-R comes in pearl white. If you ever get into an accident, color matching would be relatively easy since it's OEM and available at the local Nissan. That's my opinion though. I agree with gary_c in that you should paint it the color that you like. If you can't decide yet, get it wrapped. I've seen this car get wrapped on TV and it looked like it was dipped in chrome.
