So as some of you may know, my last "paintjob" got messed up due to Maaco so I'm going to be going somewhere else. I'm not too sure if I want gunmetal paint anymore because when I saw it on the car, I just wasn't very impressed, not what I thought it was going to be. Maybe it's cause I see silver/gunmetal cars all the time though. I want something that'll excite me/intrigue me everytime I see it. I have the 404 front lip and side skirts on there right now and I'm throwing on 17" gunmetal rims that look very very similar to Motegi MR7's. So my question is, what color do you guys suggest I paint it? Here's a pic of the MR7's if it helps:

What are your goals with the color... do you want to be different, stand out, not stand out.. etc

What color theme do you have for your interior?

I would like to see someone do a dark metallic red...

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

I want my car to be different but not stand out too much with a bright color cause cops would pay more attention to me. As for the interior theme, my lights are blue, but other than that, the interior is stock with the stock black/beige seats.

This may be a little too out there, but i saw a guy driving a supra, and he had a dark orange, it reminded me of a burnt orange, but it was a couple shades darker, ill try and look it up, but it was the most amazing color ive ever seen. It was the perfect match of standing out, yet not "in your face"... just my suggestion.

I agree with Mark_426. I would like to see a dark red celica, kind of like the red the new accord comes in.. I think its Redondo red pearl, but if you want to see a good gunmetal-ish color try carbon bronze pearl... good color...
