in your opinion what is the best color to paint my car?
i'm thinking a METALLIC gunmetal or METALLIC black

gun is hot but black is sleeper.

I'd rather have metallic gunmetal if it were my car. I think it looks better in my opinion, plus it won't be as hard to keep clean.

Im nut sure exactly what gunmetal is, but like a dark metalic silver is pretty sweet looking, black will always be my fav though

i love the paint on the 2002(?)+ eclipses with the gunmetal paint... ohhh man

I love the dark grey color the new Lexus RX 330 has.

I like the Honda Graphite the gunmetal sparkles so pretty.

Whenever I get the money together(probably fall) I'm getting House of Kolors Black Pearl Midnite Blue. It looks black in the shade and at night, but if it catches the sunlight or someones headlights it has a dark blue tint to it. It's a pearl, so it looks almost like a metallic. I've got the HOK paint book, and the Black Pearl series is just awesome.
Properly done it costs around 1200, and that's not including having the car sanded down and primered. It's also tough to find shops that will work with HOK(around here at least) because of how hard it is to blend properly if the base coat isn't 100% even.

oh man, HOK requires certain baking methods and as you said, a perfect base. But the results are absolutely worth it. Sorry if I'm stealing your idea, but I am definitely going to look into that color.

gun all the way man.

id go with gunmetal

well i think i've decided to go pearl defenitly, not sure if i want HOK but i have a guy who's doin a bunch of custom stuff for me and he's goin to do a pearl black or pearl gunmetal, mold bodykit and fenders, and shave some stuff off all for around 4500- 5500$

dude, your a highschool kid where are you getting this money.

well the bodykit and z3 fenders i just payed for (took all of my last two pay checks, lets pray my girl doesn't wanna go anywhere expensive in the next two weeks) and then the paint and molding and stuff my parents are fronting the money and i pay it off like a loan except thank god with out interest

Hey man I want to paint my Cleica the color of the car in your sig. What's the code of the paint and where dd you get it?

not sure, but I will certainly check with the dude who owns it. i'll pm you in like 2 days.

Won't bother me. Even if we get the same color, it might turn out slightly different. Besides, my friend has a 95 coupe that he's planning on getting Black Pearl Jade(turns dark green).
Hopefully I'll have my Blitz front(already have it), Z sides(tax return), and painted by fall. Just had a setback though, I need to have my strut tower rewelded and replace about $200 worth of bushings/mounts/CV joints. And the way the engine is burning oil lately, I might just get a second car(always wanted a RWD Corolla) this summer and let the Celica sit for a while so I can do things right and not worry about having to drive it the next day(looking into 4A swaps or possibly rebuiling the 7A with performance parts).

OOBE, it's a custom color. It's like plum crazy or some crap, it's just purple with red metallic flake.

Pearl White with Ghost flamed toyota symbols... =P

DOOO EEEEEET!
