Okay, I'm trying to decide what color I should paint my Maxima.. it's not the next mod I'm doing, but I gotta decide which color to paint it, as it determines what colors I go with for my interior.. getting the interior redone 2 tone all over w/ leather seats, then soon after I'm getting it repainted. I'm thinking either V-tec blue or black. Which of these do you guys like or if you have another third choice let me know. Here's what my ride looks like right now (oh yeah I'm getting it dropped before either of the above mods..) http:maxima.cardomain.com/ids/your_mom90gxe

 

booger green ......naw seriously my vote goes for black! a solid black third gens look sweet and they should bring out your new rims a little more than the current color does!

 

i'm proud to be the 1st voter. black! i just dropped my car off today to get it painted black!!! i miss her already though, i can't go 3 days without my maxima! anyway, it's up to you, but i believe that i've seen this in posts about altezzas for us before...does your car say honda? no. it says nissan. i went with black, but i have seen some nice max's other than that on here, there was a blue one that made me almost tell them to paint it blue today, i forget which blue, but not v-tec. anyway, that's my input. but it's your car, do what you want.

 

I dunno, the booger green sounds like an intriuging choice!
Yeah that's what I was thinking with black, but then to counterbalance that, I would probably be the only vtech blue maxima in the world if I chose vtech, and the color is nice. Really it's a stalemate for me, so I'm gonna let the masses tip the balance.

 

only bad thing with black is that it shows everything...

 

yeah I hear you on the Vtec blue, I likes it too when it first came out, but now its kinda played out to me! but hey if you think it'll look good go for it, we all have different tastes so don't let us mess up your choice! but yeah booger green tops all!

 

I always like to see a car with a color that is not offered as stock. Nothing too loud and noticable, like Yellow. I don't have any ideas right now. Maybe silver.

 

black! a max in black is a beautiful thing, maybe a satin finish. a girl in my neighborhood has a black se third gen., i pass it every time i go to or leave my house, its torture...i want it....

 

Man, does this bring back bittersweet memories or what? A few months ago I was agonizing to other forumers who actually OWNED SE 5spds and had my heart set on a BLACK one.... Well eventually I eased up because well... the 5 speeds were just too rare here and life was too short. So I settled for my silver coloured car instead.

Still, everytime a black SE goes by I always wonder how many pedals it's got...

.....

 

Super black or mid-night blue.
2 of the best maximas I've seen are mid-night blue.

 

black....it's given. sure blue looks nice....but wouldn't you to roll by people with this?

 

Techno Violet... it's BMW color, looks very very good. That or Avus Blue. Damn, I guess I'm into Bimmers lately.

 

goes with the color now because when you open the hood and doors its still gonna be there. unless your getting a real full paint job $$$$

 

suede Olive Drab. Oh yeah baby..

 

That's a really good point. I was fantasizing before of getting a Max in any colour and then having it painted black. Only problem is, there's also the:
door jams/sills
under hood
firewall
trunk sills

...and then expect to pay even more for better quality work and paint (unless the world's switched to urethane enamels and didn't tell me). Anyway, to make a long story short, the cost of doing everything at some place that is NOT Maaco came out to about 3/4 the cost of the car (several thousand $$$$) - not worth it I figured.

Unless you're okay with some mismatching paint, in which case more power to you!

 

i think black would look good. but the blue would be original on a max.

 

Errr, that doesn't sound too bad to me.. maybe get the hood sills repainted as I'm gonna get some underhood stuff done (already have CAI), but I really don't anticipate looking into the depths of my door very often..

 

i am getting my car painted black right now actually, and the place i am getting it done at charge $50 extra per door jam, threw in the trunk and said there was only so much they could do under the hood cause it's not a good idea to blow stuff in there. so that's $200 more for the doors and trunk and depending on how much they did around the hood i can do the rest fairly simple. that's of course near me, in s.fl., so if you can find something like that and can afford the extra couple hundred and elbow grease, go for it. i love working on my max anyway!

 

I like the blue on the new M3's. Or the BMW orient blue.

 

vtec blue. you know how original that would be...man oh man..extremely bad a$$...i'm getting excited just picturing it.

 

I love this color and Have thought many times about paintin my max this color. Needless to say I love it...

 

I went to the best body shop on the Connecticut shore and got a qoute and for a better than factory quilty paint job would be about $5500. Thats everywhere and everything Re-painted.

 

I say paint it Black if you have silver rims if you have chrome go with the blue.

 

Yeah I'm gonna be getting a real good paint job for a real good price, because I'm doing the sanding and primer myself, and then my cousin's friend is a auto painter, so if I do my own sanding and primering, the paintjob will cost me 4-600 depending on how big my car is and what color I choose.

 

i would go with the vtec blue(i think it is actually called electric blue). i have always loved that color. i have a biased opinion because my max is blue.

 

i just got it back!!! it looks so good. will take pics and post in a short while...i still say go with black. it looks great.

 

I'm not sure of the paint color, but how about the dark gray that comes on the Lexus IS300? Unlike black it won't show everything, no other car than the Lexus has that color stock, and it would still set off your rims. Just my thoughts.

 

Staying with the stock Black Emerald Pearl (dark green) color, but ALL my body damage is being repaired. I like the color so much I decided to stick with it. Ruby Pearl is also really neat if you ask me. plus I have a big time hook up so the paint job is cheap.

 

Yeah, behind SuperBlack, Black Emerald is my second favorite Maxima color.

 

i only read the first page and maybe it was suggested,but next spring im gettin my black 91 painted the same colors as the altimas,and S14 240's,which is like a dark blue/dark green flip,the RX7s and Miatas came with it and mazda called it montego blue or something,its a factory nissan color but not on third or forth gen maximas,thats why i want it
