i am going to have my car repainted in a few weeks but im having a hard time choosing a color. continuing with my stock color (emerald green) is an option, but im also considering going with super black. but thoes are pretty common and part of me wants something else, but i dont know what. has anyone ever seen a silver 4th gen? like straight benz silver. i think silver might not look right but im kinda interested. anyone got any other color suggestions? red, blue and white are out of the question.


also. when you change the color of your car, do you have to get a new VIN plate?

 

yes you need a new vin. your car is nice so any color would look hot. i have seen some silver 4th gens, and black looks just like your sig. hmm i hate green i say get the black, the silver is a very drastic change but still would look good too. its all up to you

 

5th Gen charcoal... love that grey

 

I love our color...and it will be cheaper to get it painted the same color.

I vote to stick with the black emerald.

 

i'll second the charcoal 5th gen paint. or lexus is300 charcoal, they're pretty similar, and both awesome.

 

you guys got any pictures?

 

the new 05 altima "smoked" is really nice!
just stay away from "viper blue" very! nice looking color but a little over done for custom paints. white with like a blue pearl in it looks really nice.

 

super black! or crimson blaze red like me haha

 

i also would like to get mine repainted one day... i thought of any shade from pearl white to the blackest of all blacks...

but why pay for a new color when someone else already has it? like black, or white... if you are going custom, try something new... my .02...

 

montana blue....rare gm paint color but i always thought it might look good on a maxima then again it could be a tad to light

i suppose blacks always good

 

school bus yellow j/k
id agree with like silver or like lexus grey
good luck

 

Charcoal grey or dark blue (such as Neptune blue).
-Cyrus

 

only do a change if they are going to do it right....door/trunk jams...engine bay etc.....BAYSIDE BLUE

 

i say do it the charcoal i always thought it looked nice.

 

charcoal .. or the 5.5/6th gen majestic blue metallic ... there was someone on here who repainted his 4th gen w/ a color from the 350Z

or to make your 4th gen really stand out, how about some of these colors from the 350Z

Daytona Blue



Redline

 

Id say the 05 Nissan Titan gunmetal...almost like that Altime SER ^ but a lil darker

 

naiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccce

 

here's the IS300 in Graphite Gray



... & in Indigo Ink



IMO both would look nice for a 4th Gen

 

stay classic

neptune blue like whoa.

 

i would do something close to or similar to ur stock paint, cause it would just look ugly having the inside of the frame different color, unless ur gonna do that too...then i would go black, im going the top secret star gold cause it would match my beige inside well.


i all over that color.......its just SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



imma be the first TOPSECRET maxima

 

stick with emerald green or superblack, for shizzle

 

werd. does nissan still produce DJ2? or do you have to get it matched? cuz my uncle restores cars, and we were thinking of repainting my max, but i was wondering if i could keep it emerald, but add a little more flake. whatever, im kinda tired, so this probably doesnt make sense...

 

id go with crimson blaze or metalic neptune like nismotic, the 2 best colors for 4th gen...IMO

 

mustang gt mineral gray

 

this mercedes gun metal or metalic silver would look awsome.

my only concerns are;

1. if going with a color other than the stock one, ie ( switching form green to black or to grey) will a body shop usually paint inside the doors and trun and engine bay?

2. is it more expensive to change colors rather than just sticking with whats already there?

3. say i were to go with the lexus grey or the benz grey. would it be more expensive cus thoes colors are from another car or would they just try to match it?

 

I second White with Blue Pearl.

Yes, it's more expensive to switch colors due to the fact of Door Jams, inide the trunk, under the hood, etc.

No, if goin custom the only time your car will be more is for a pearl paint job because it is a 3 stage paint job or graphics of course would be more. Other than that, you can say Sh*t Brown to Stock color to Lexus Grey, that won't affect the price unless of course it's a pearl.

 

5th gen Grey Lustre....thats exactly what I would paint my car if I got it repainted.

 

I'm hopefully painting mine in the spring and I can't decide on the color either. I was thinking something more custom though with flakes in it.

 

What? No you don't.

 

Stick with a color that as close to stock as possible. It'll cost less.

If you do get it painted another color, they might want to pull your engine to paint the entire engine bay.

But I love that Merc gunmetal. Teh hotness.

 

i'd go with dark metallic blue from a audi 1.8t

 

Um, the 1.8t is an engine, not a car...

 

ok, a4 1.8t

 

Dibs on Lotus Elise Chrome Orange!

 

About how much would a really nice jet black paint job cost?

 

ooof... that is HOOOT

 

+1

ooga booga tooga

 

me n my unc are stripping everything, and doing a complete repaint in HOK lime gold over cinder red(kandy). if youve ever seen this, it is so pimp. i cant wait until summer comes and he reopens his shop. total paint cost is only 450. ill start a thread when we get started.

 

top secret gold, hmm kinda funny i thought i was the only one. ive already got the paint code and all, just waiting to finish my cosmetics before the shooting starts...

 

how do i find a paint code? say i were to go with that lexus grey or the benz gun metal. how would i get thoes color codes?
