So I got TRD Splitters that came in not to long ago. I'm planning to get them installed but they're a different color than my car. So I'm just going to go with painting the whole car all at once so it'll be one color and one shade. Anyways I only want Toyota Factory Color. I was thinking about going either Pearl White, Alpine Silver, or Graphite Grey Pearl. What do you guys think?

What I have exterior-wise:
7gc rims
trd side skirts
tom's front lip
TRD rear splitters
roof spoiler
moon roof

Out of the aforementioned, the Graphite Gray Pearl. My uncle had a Celica that was the gray pearl, was a very nice looking colour.

I meant Toyota as in the whole Factory. Including Toyota/Scion/Lexus. My cousin has a IS300 that has that graphite grey pearl. It looks nice. I like the color but just never seen a dark grey 6gc before.

There are a few members on here that have gray Celicas. Dark colours look really good on the car. Then again, I'm a fan of dark colours to begin with. Charcoal gray pearl or midnight blue pearl would look amazing.

Here's one I found in a medium-light gray.


Just imagine how good it'd look a few shades darker.

That grey looks nice but I have the 7gc GTS rims so......I think it'll look funny to have silver rims on a dark car???

Someone one the 6GC facebook page posted pictures of a dark gray Celica with GT-S wheels. Looked good. Sure you could find it easily.

That gray looks good, but I love a clean white Celica. A nice pearl white gets my vote. thumbsup.gif

Man. I'm going to go pearl white. Lol. It seems to be the best choice for me. Grey is going to be my second choice.

I actually have a place I'm planning to get it painted from. I took my car in and he said he can paint it for $400 or if I want some body work done(remove dents etc.) he can do it for $500. I've seen two cars that the shop had worked on. One is my cousin's Purple Civic. He did a really good job for a price of $400. The only bad thing was that paint dust was everywhere. It took them a whole week to get it sand, primered, painted, and cured. The second one was my other cousins White Civic. It was already pre-primered so it cost him $200. Brought it back home and the paint job was good. It took them 2 days to get it painted and cured. So far it's been close to 7 months and the paint is still good. So it's you get what you pay for basically. I'm going there just because I don't have that much money to spend double of his price just for a paint job. Lol. This place is called <b>Mastercraft</b>. It's in Fresno, Ca. Over by highway41 and McKinley. I only recommend it if you want a cheap/ok paint job.

Was this stock color? I don't think our generation came out stock with this color. It looks so nice though.
