I'd keep it black, but white cars looks really nice with gold wheels.

I cant stand it when people ask others to help them choose a paint colour for their car. The choice of colour is a very personal thing and makes a big statement about you and your car so why the hell would want someone else choosing it for you? I know there are alot of colours out there but im 100 percent sure you can find one ON YOUR OWN that you like. When I was trying to find a colour for my car I went to all the new car dealships in my area and looked at all the colours they had come out with on the new model year vehicles. OEM paint colours are starting to get alot more radical these days, especially Nissan. When you see a colour on a car its much different then looking at a paint chip in a book, trust me on that. In the end I decided to go with Indigo blue from the 2004 Mazda 3, it was unique for my car and the colour is beautiful especially when the sun hits it and it changes colour.

Good writeup. But my question was "what do you think may look good?" not "tell me what colour to paint my car, and i'll paint it" nice try, you almost had me there.

but otherwise, its all good. thanks for your comment.

but why change though, the black looks good - do a diy on the headlights...

but if you do change colour do it properly, you have paint the engine, door jams, trunk etc. you have a dark colour so its something you have to do as its very noticable. and will cost you a decent penny that u could use for something more usefull as your current paint is fine.

Looks good in black, but if you really want to paint it I'd go for yellow.

Black rules.

There's a really nice dark dark grey out by GM called Charcoal Metallic or Graphite metallic (on of the two)

It's real dark with lots of flake so when it hits the sun it looks pretty cool. It would still shine nice like a black car at night, too.

Dont touch that ****, your ride looks mint! (semi biased opinion )


But still, the grass is always greener on the other side...If you change you will want black again next year. Plus you have to factor in the cost, and the possability of ****ups...I never recomend people painting their cars unless it "needs" it, its always a risk.
