Ok, so i'm going to get my car painted in the spring. I'm going to get it some type of blue, but i'm not sure if i should go darker, like this car; http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=43446 or like just blue, like if anyone has Modifed Mag, the Acura RSX Type S on page 90. I like that blue to i guess.. What does everyone else think? I'm really not sure what i should do.. Thanks. -cnelson.

I've wanted to get my celica painted blue for a long time, but I doubt I'll ever have the money...at least not until I finish college.
I say go with the WRX blue...only maybe a touch darker.

I've been trying to decide what color I want to paint my celi this spring as well. I at first wanted blue, then I changed my mind a couple times, but now I think I'm back to blue. I really like the shade of blue on Batman722's celi. but after seeing that one you posted, I kinda like that darker blue. Then there is snapshotgt's celi if you like that shade, it's a little darker than I would want though. if anyone has some more pictures of blue celi's please post them, because I'd like to see them! (especially if they have black rims)

I was almost sure I was going to paint my car blue until I actually got it painted. This is my suggestions:
Blue - Nice color but doesn't stand out as much compared to other colors. white - Neutral color anything and everything will match, rims, tails, stickers, etc. more clean look and stands out. black - also a neutral color, same result as white - more wicked look gray - clean color only problem is matching with rims and tails etc. red - always a sporty color, only problem is getting the right color red silver - always nothing wrong with silver, very simple and clean but won't stand out amongst other nicer colors. any other color for a celica, it probably wouldn't stand out as much. This is from my JDM point of view and preference. This post has been edited by trdproven: Dec 21, 2006 - 5:54 PM -------------------- 94 Celica GT

Ever since the 7th gen. Celis came out I've been in love with Carbon Blue (the one that almost looks black until the light hits it, then sparkles a deep blue). What color is your interior? I imagine you want something that isn't going to clash.
