Pick a color

My car is finally getting close to the body work stage. I have the TS widebody and bronze jline wheels. Ive been thinking about a color change but cant find something that i really like so ive just thought about leaving it black.

I need some cool colors and examples maybe so I can decide.


this is the color of the wheels.

wheels look more gold than bronze to me

if they were [darker] bronze id stay with black for sure

but gold/bronze wheels look sick on white too IMO

Atlas Gray. You won't know its not black untill you've seen it. It will set off the gold rims. and it's quite stealthy. or go with alpine white

if the IS350 white is the same as the new camry white, than yes, that's a nice color. looks to have some blue pearl in it.

you probably need to decide on a solid color first, such as white, black, blue, red...than comes the pearls/metallic flakes. it's the pearl/flakes that sets one color off from another, and is going to make your car different (besides of course the bad a$$ widebody)

once i decided on a yellow, I had to go through about 7 different shades before i made my decision.

if you are painting your car around your wheels, i think white and black are obvious choices. A blue would be too STI-ish, red would be quite dramatic.

might be easier to get opinions on the shade once you decide on a color, otherwise you'll get 20 different responses.

honda nighthawk black pearl has blue pearl in it that makes it look good in the sun. just had some pieces painted that color.

if you want wild colors, Lambo and Lotus are good cars to choose from
