Hi guys im painting my car in a couple weeks and i was just wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for colors. my car is a 97 GXE and i have the beige cloth. I also have 17 inch silver tenzo wheels. any input would be awesome.

thanks guys.

 

My last max was a '96 black on beige cloth and it looked good. I currently have white on black leather and love it though.

 

I suggest BLACK< for these generation it's the nicest color.

 

Dark Blue also looks nice, let me know , which one you chose, and post a picture.

 

Don't change the color of your car when you repaint it. I'm serious...LISTEN TO ME. You will thank me later...

 

can't go wrong with hot pink I always say

 

Why not? It just costs more but if its a good paint job than it shouldnt chip or anything..

 

There are just way too many areas that will be left your original color. A two-tone black over tan will look hideous.

 

sorry for all you guys that like black but i live in tucson and its hot. i also hate how black only stays clean for 15 minutes. black is a no go. i dont understand why i shouldnt change my paint color blackmaxima, do u know something i dont?

 

find out what this color M5 is called, that would look sick as hell. forget the crayon choices

How much do you plan on spending? It will take a lot of money for a "good" job. You open your hood you will see gold, you open your trunk you will see gold. Make sure they take out all trim, lights, door panels, etc...

 

no 4th gen is worth a new paintjob

 

booooooooooooooo

 

im doing all of the prep work myself but i dont really know how much its gonna cost yet. the only real reason im repainting my maxima is because i want to drive it for awhile longer and then sell it. i was also wondering if anyone knows where i can get replacement body side moldings.

i love that color but im just nervous as to how well a shop can do that for my car. im prolly over analyzing the whole thing but im leaning towards that blue. anyone else have any suggestions?

 

Find out where BMW takes their cars to get repainted. You know they will do a good job!

 

lol ok maxeen ill look into that.

 

Really! I had to have the BMW dealer repaint my bumper since someone damaged it before I bought it and they did a great job. They send all of the repair job to someone in your town.

 

how much did u have to pay?

 

anyone like the new ford mustang windveil blue?

 

I didn't pay since it was the dealers fault. This was on another car.

 

Black Emerald. code: DJ2 Have them add some more metallic flakes for a unique look.

 

i also have another question, i have a stock grill with the fake chrome on it. i was wondering if there is any way to take that chrome off and paint it the same color as my car.

 

if your going to sell it leave the color the same....

EDIT - As for the grill you can lightly sand it, dremel wheel, etc. As long as you dont tear it up and prep it right you will be fine.

 

what is a "lot of money"?
