so im gettin my car painted due to the fact that someone keyed my car and put a huge dent in the rear driver side(think it might be the x)....
. Im gettin it painted the same color but im gonna paint the top black i like the way it looks. Im gonna paint the bottom plastics of the car the same as the car and i was thinking of painting the rims the same as well. Please give me your input out there. its going in today at nine so i have some time to make changes. thanks guys i wanna post some before pics but i dont know how to put them on here? hmm go figure

 

Everything sounds good, but the wheels. Don't paint them too match.

As far as images go you can you the insert image tool, it's the mountain looking tool in the reply box.

 

Get a darker shade of blue. The Daytona blue from the 350Z looks nice.

 

Since you're painting the entire car have you thought about a non-Infiniti color?

 

yeah definietly go with something non OEM. I agree with the previous poster, don't paint rims same color, rims should match but also provide some contrast.

 

Keep the same color for the lowers and getting the engine bay, jams and trunk resprayed costs a ton extra.

 

what about the two tone, should i paint the top or keep it the same? thanks for everyones ideas and interest

 

^ Top would look good but to the average person I honestly think they would laugh behind your back because our cars do not come with dual roofs. I know I may be in the minority on this but I think it will be a passing fad.

 

I would consider a non-oem color that is just a bit off so you could still keep the jams, etc the same color.

Don't do the wheels.

 

Listen the sickest outcome would have to be the black top and paint the whole car audi s4 sprint blue that would look redicilous!!!!!! and leave the rims alone

 

I would vote for BMW Laguna Seca blue.

 

BMW black...watever its called

 

My co-worker just got a new M3 in the black i think its called carbon or something. Looks SICK has a dark blue hue in the sun.

 

Maybe this is too late,changing color and a two tone will knock the **** out of your resale value. Why not repair the damaged areas and address the rest of your car by the the recon. tips listed above? You'll save all the way around!

 

paint anything but the rims..................
