What color to paint?

What color should I paint my car?

I'm not going to get into specifics, but I am repainting my car for the last time and would like some input on what everything thinks would look cool/different. I may or may not take the selection seriously, but I will have the car painted within the next 2-3 weeks and will post pictures of said finished work.

The general colors are: Red, Orange, Blue, Yellow, White, Grey, Black, Green, Brown.



Automatically I'm going to rule out orange, green and brown due to the hideousness that it shows up on the car. Once I have a general consensus of what color to generalize from, i'll specificize down to one particular color in the selected spectrum.

What kind of car?

I'm a sucker for a silver car.

I totally want a purple car, though.

Post a pic of your car. Can't go wrong with black.

Whatever the poll results end up being is how you should paint your car. So as of now grey and yellow.

Here is a human representation of D3V's paintjob:

Sexy.

Call me weird, but I've got a hunch that D3V's car is the one mentioned in the thread about his car... unless he's changed it in the last three days.



Red's nice, but I think the Stratus would suit a metallic blue better (I can't find a decent picture of a metallic blue Stratus, so here's a picture of my Dad's Saab to show the colour):

Thanks. Is that supposed to be some sort of desert camoflage?

No it was a shoe i turned upside down and overlayed onto the car...

I kinda like that, actually...

I don't see it.

Open your eyes!!

I don't see any brown in the shoe...

Not only that, but I don't see the pattern in that picture.

Hah! You guys are awesome.

And the car is missing some white.

I'll have some much better resolution pictures coming up shortly, all these old cell phone shots look disgusting, which is very similar to how my car's paint looks atm as well. I've already begun sanding with 150 grit, and have about 95% of the vehicle finished sanding. I hope to, by this weekend, have it taped and ready to go!
