Would look better with everything I have on it and I can get a good deal on factory pack black at work -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily

Black isn't even a colour though, it's the absence of, yet you asked for recommended colours. You're just silly.

I thought about doing some crazy colour like that, but then I realized how expensive that would be. I can get a gallon of factory pack black at work for 175$. And the shop that I took my car into to get my door handle fixed said they would paint the car for me for a couple hundred bucks if I sand it down and bring them the paint and clear...I like my job sometimes.

Well, a gloss blue or teal wouldn't cost too much more. The problem with black is that the bodywork has to be flawless, otherwise it'll show. I love black, but it's so hard to get right and maintain.

I love black, but it's so hard to get right and maintain. Yeah that's the only reason I am not sure about black. But I think it would look best with my wheels and hood and mudflaps and whatnot. I priced out a gallon of a couple different other colours at work the other day, and they mostly seem to be around the $400-$450 mark, whereas the black is $175...oh well, I'll give it some more thought I guess. This is pretty much the exact look I'm going for but with my wheels and spoiler.

Just find lots of pictures of the Celica in different colours to try and figure it out.
Check out TCP Global, they have all kinds of paints available. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

I'm in good old Canadia so I'm pretty limited to certain paints due to stupid VOC laws. I will be getting the paint at work so it will probably be either Dupont Nason paint or Transtar paint. -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily

TCP carries low VOC paint, would give them a look. Could save a small fortune on paint.

Not low enough
Yesterday I found a set of folding mirrors as a lucky find from a wrecker and today I hung out at my friends house and worked on creating new 'custom-ish' headlights for his car (Ford Falcon AU)  -------------------- |
