Re-spray updated page 3 The Paint

14th May 2007, 10:21

Ive been thinking about getting a full re-spray on my car for a while now and my mate has just bought his own garage and said he would do the work for me, ive been looking on the house of kolour website and some of the colours look amazing, what ever colour i choose im wanting metal flake over the top, obviously will be changing my wheels when its done as it will be a bit too much having glittery wheels aswell, just want to know what colour you's like and what you's think i should go for as i cant make my mind up

also ive been looking for a colour chart but cant seem to find one

whys that?

14th May 2007, 10:34

i think he means, if you have a loud colour, you need a loud looking car.

14th May 2007, 10:37

yeah thats what i ment. are you going for a loud colour like the pink or more subtle. i assumed that you wanted a loud colour

if thats what he means i dont agree with him, just because my car isnt screaming "look at my huge bling bodykit" means that i cant have it a nice colour

14th May 2007, 10:39

i like the colour pink but wouldnt have it as it stands out too much, anyone remember that saxo on ebay a while ago which was an orangy colour on the top and black on the bottom? anyone know what the colour is called

14th May 2007, 10:46

xclairex i think i know the car, used to be used as an advert for cooper tyres, a 1.1 with a VT* Kit?

looks like that Ford performance orange (dont know the actual name of it)

14th May 2007, 10:59

do you mean the saber electronic dump valve show car

14th May 2007, 11:01

Lawl @ Electronic dump valves

14th May 2007, 11:03

oh my bad just read what you wrote and you ment the other way round. think this is the one, heres a pic i took at max power

14th May 2007, 11:05

yeah that colour is insanely nice.

14th May 2007, 11:09

Pink cars

14th May 2007, 11:13

14th May 2007, 11:21

14th May 2007, 11:23

thanks alot

theres a thread in the photoshop section if anyone fancies a challenge

14th May 2007, 11:32

what would you do with your wheels, i think something that is black and chrome would work well, like some wolfrace street octanes

14th May 2007, 11:34

yep liking your ideas, id probably go back to gloss black vtr wheels until i save up some money to get some others

i tried to rep you but it wont let me

14th May 2007, 11:44

thats ok hun

have you thought about a carbon fibre bonnet, i know this 350z isnt quite the right colour but i still think it would work well on the colour your after,

14th May 2007, 11:45

I would love one but cant really afford it, it does look good on that car

14th May 2007, 12:27

what do you's this of this colour? bit over the top or what?

14th May 2007, 12:28

OTT if your not show car spec imo.

14th May 2007, 12:51

That car has been up for sale for ages... i think he listed the colour as being 'sunburnt orange' or something like that...
Nice colour though

I disagree with the loud colour requiring a bodykit etc. look at fiesta ST's for example... bright orange out the factory.. and they look hot...

I wouldn't go with that pink though im afraid... not really to my taste... if i was to go for a respray i think id end up getting a subtle two tone, so the paint isn't lary, but it's obviously not standard...

Like this:

i quite like that colour Al but i have to say the orange is winning for me, im going to the paint shop this weekend so i can have a better idea of what it will look like, i will probably of changed my mind by then

14th May 2007, 13:02

I didnt mean you should do that colour.. i just like the idea of a subtle two tone... what about a blue/purple two tone - it's a bit more girly? Have a look in the yourcars section for some different examples....

The orange is nice though

14th May 2007, 13:03

candy apple red with a flake in it or borwn with a gold flake in it

i think your good not to go with pink, as if you do come to sell your car it will narrow down the potential buyers alot

14th May 2007, 13:10

nissan skyline midnight purple ftw lol, combined with white wheels would look the shizzle

14th May 2007, 13:10

go for a really nice orange with a big silver flake ive seen a couple like it and it looks so nice when the sun hits it. or a nice lilac pearl with a gold flake

14th May 2007, 13:24

oooooo decisions theres so many to choose from

14th May 2007, 13:24

candy red with a slight flake would look good i think

I think im in love that saxo looks amazing

14th May 2007, 13:38

What about a light subtle pink like in your sig? You could add metal flake to it for that extra bit of edge?

14th May 2007, 13:40

Candy red saxo is the sh**!! Love it.

14th May 2007, 13:41

its a good idea Kelly but i think if i was going pink it would have to be a "in your face" pink, theres a punto near mine thats not far off the colour in my sig and im not 2 keen

Might be worth investing in a house of kolor catalogue. Cost about £20 I think cos my Uncle bought one a while back. Silly sod chucked it after he bought his paint though.

Be 100% sure what colour you want though because you might regret it otherwise.

defo 100% agree

plus i think colours that stand out look good on a standard saxo as its not something you expect to see

14th May 2007, 14:02

thanks for the help and advice everyone, ill let you's know my choice

14th May 2007, 14:09

106 GTI

Wicked Red but with small silver flakes.

She was Gorgeous with a capital G

14th May 2007, 23:08

think that candy red is really nice!! tel you what though a nice tourquise blue would look amazing

15th May 2007, 08:41

yeah my wheels will be going back to gloss black or will be getting some different ones

15th May 2007, 09:18

Slightly different to the colours suggested so far, but as your cars silver now how about something like Platinum! That would look awesome

15th May 2007, 15:13

15th May 2007, 18:16
