I think there's too many black Maximas, especially 4th gens. I'd try something different like the metallic army green I see on the Jeep Liberty, but dark gunmetal sounds interesting

it's going to cost you much more to switch to a different color.... unless someone does a ghetto job & does paint under the hood....between the doors...in the trunk...etc....

Insurance money.Car got keyed,I made money for a new paint job ($3500) plus I know the shop and the owner who will do it for me for cheap cuz I'm good friends with him.

But yeah,I wanted to go with a very dark gunmetal color.no not purple or a funky color.Thought about the Spec-V yellow,or 350z blue,but those stand out too much.Anyone have pics of the Majestic blue from 2k2 line?

Definitely go with dark gunmetal color. That would look fantastic on a Max and you'd be unique. There are millions of black 4th gens.

You should stick with the deep evergreen, its a nice color, especially when you see a nice glossy new coat on your car.

It will cost more to do a color change.
I would say just go for the same color.
If you do change though, I would do the Grey lustre color from the 2000+ models. That is awesome.
Or try it out with that weird orange color that came out first on the Z and the new model Maxima. That would probably look good.

Blue C...every time I see your car, I like the projectors more and more.
I think the look the best of any I have seen.
I like how large they are, and I like how close to the front they are.
It makes them stand out and not just look like you have a dirty housing.
Props.

You've gotta have serious performance to back up a flat black paint job. Very few Maximas could pull it off.

i say u go for a extremly dark metalic green that almost looks black...it will help when the cops write u out a ticket saying your car is black while it is really green.

Grey Lustre looks very nice, or any other dark silver color, I think that Mustang GT Mineral Grey looks great too. Estoril Blue on that E36 looks great, not too flashy but still a unique color since A32 Maxima's dont come in a lighter blue. Imola Red (BMW), or Crimson Blaze (Nissan) are also very eye catching colors and bring out the lines of the Maxima. Changing the color of the car has got to be one of the hardest decisions ever.

hmm...how about a custom color like a midnight blue....black base with a blue pearl over it. it will look black, but then blue when the light hits it.






...then I can steal your idea

I would go stock and repaint too, when it comes time to sell it, people are going to wonder why its different colors!!!! Stay with your stock color and just re spray it, you will be happy.

Im planning on having my car repainted Crimson Blaze Red, since the car was poorly treated by the previous owner. Plus i can tell the paint has faded a bit comparing it to the touch up paint. I like the paint to have a deep red shine.

crimson blaze.

My favorite color the Maxima was ever offered in. Aztec red for the 3rd gens. I wish I could have found one in this color, they're so rare.
