hey guys, so i was thinking of repainting the car by end of next month. currently its lakeshore blue.

should i keep it this color? i will be putting a r34 kit pretty soon and possibily something else =]

i was thinking of like a skyline blue, bayside blue.

These are both rare colors i guess, just need your guys opinions..thanks!

lakeshore blue max is still in progress..i ll tell u guys later when everything is put on :

 

i never saw a pink max before j/k but a dark metalic blue would look nice good luck with the decision

 

pink? haha..man..i saw like a neon green maxima like last year...lol..has the r33 kit and everything

pearl white? ehh..they are ok..im looking for something blue

 

go with pearl white!

 

hey man whats your e-mail, i can send you a pick of my 95, its a dark metallic blue, looks nice

 

maximariceboi@yahoo.com

hmm..i dont think anyone has a skyline blue maxima yet...heh

 

Medium or Dark Montana Blue, a GM color used from 94-99 always like it, or black

 

There was that orange maxima with neon green trim on the doors..haha...But yeah, i think that blue color they have for the new altimas, That would look good on our maximas..esp with a kit.

 

how about Majestic Blue metallic from a 5.5 or 6th gen

 

so many different blues..lol...i m kind of choosing of keeping the lakeshore blue or changing it to bayside blue (skyline)...thanks!

 

Heres a pic of mine. I chose starfire blue pearl because it most resembled the skyline blue color and the pearl looks sic at night and in the sun.

 

thats a pretty sick color..headlights are hott

 

go with a dark grey like the lexus dark gray's

 

paint it green and put some dollar bills on the hood

 

Isn't a good paint job pretty pricey? If your current color is nice, I'd keep it. Plus, isn't that a pretty unique color for a max as is? Have any pics with the current color to post?

 

i'd go with a metallic silver (my pick), graphite, gold or pearl white...since those colors always make the car look clean even if it's filthy as hell. blue, black and red look good but they do a sh*tty job at keeping clean. didn't know that there was an r34 kit available got a link so I can check it out?

yea..the paint job is pricey but i have connections..reason y i m repainting the car is because i will have a body kit on soon and has lots of scratches on the rear and quater panel mostly that cannot get rid of. i bought the car like this so yea..with 3 very small door dings. i have some pix of my car http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=401619 but no updated pix yet

 

paint it the new G35 Coupe blue....Color looks sick

 

2005 one? lakeshore slate...kind of looks like mine..lakeshore blue

 

I think any shade of blue looks great on a Maxima. If I ever paint mine, I think I'll either do blue, or see about adding some blue pearl into my white.

 

That's a NICE color you have right now. I'm not a perfectionist, so i'd probably compound all of the scratches as best I could, touch-up anything that went all the way through the paint (to prevent rust) enjoy my still nice looking, but not perfect, car.

But hey, if you can get a deal on the paint job, go for it. Can I get in on this deal? I'd gladly drive to NJ to make my dark green maxima a nicer color if it didn't cost me an arm and a leg!

I'm also a fan of a some-what dark mettalic blue. But not too dark. You still want the blue to shine through. Look at new cars in showrooms and see if you can find a really nice metallic blue, then get the paint shop to match the color!

 

sorry..cant get a deal on this...its my friend's friend who is best friends with guy that does the painting..he owns the place so yea..only doing this deal for the 3 of us..sorry..but i ll try to find out for you though but its not gona be as cheap like we are getting for. Painting the whole car..exterior and inside like the doors and i believe the engine bay as well

 

If I was going to repaint my maxima I would go for a dark blue metallic as well. Something a lot like this M3 that I snapped a shot of at Hot Import Daze here in pittsburgh:

That might be a little darker than what you were talking about, but that is the color I would go with.

:edit:
Here is a close up shot:

 

What about that orange 350Z color i like that...or how about the blue from the Z that also looks sick...

 

wow..thats a pretty nice blue...

 

Sorry I was bored

 

<3

 

That's a nice Andy Warhol maxima rendition.

 

yeah i got the whole exterior and the door jambs done for $900 at a local shop. $500 for the paint and $400 for the labor. I got a steal...but i also made friends with the painter. Now ive just gotta learn how to paint and do the trunk and engine bay as well cause its still nasty tan.

 

I would go with the Skyline Blue.
That would be a hot color, definitely.

 

........

 

There's a Toyota color called Renaissance Red that came on the newest Supras - great color. My 240Z is painted that color and I've dreamed about painting my Max that color.

 

For a quality paint job that's a steal. How many coats of paint and gloss? Will they remove all of the panels to paint them or did they just "tape and spray"?

 

in mine..they removing everthing and paint the parts...but since i will be molding the body kit together to make it flush..i guess they just going to paint it on the car..

 

Cool. Post the pics after you get it done.

 

yup..sure..
