Anachronism

If all goes as planned at this time tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a Jade Green (Dark Green, looks almost black) 98 Maxima SE.:

I searched but only found one thread on painting calipers on a jade green Max and it there where not many color suggestions. So what colors would look good? I will be using the stock 16" SE rims for now and don't mind a little flash. Silver would probably look nice, but a little boreing. Yellow might be to much though (maybe).

Also should I paint the RSB to match? or is that to ricey? I really don't know how noticable the RSB is, will it look stupid painted? If anyone has done it and got pix that would be great. I will probably paint the feet of the FSTB to match the brake calipers, but that's a hidden detail most people won't see.

Also if I go with a color theme in the interior (Gauge lights, shift ****, etc.) should it match the brake calipers?

Hopefully everthing goes smoothly with the sale or

BTW, I will probably be adding Stainless Steel Brake lines, but maybe not right away. I will keep the stock rotors for now.

i always think that bronze or red looks good on any color car. why red? cause alot of factory sporst cars come with red brake calipers and they look bangin. why bronze? cause the R34 has them!

No yellow use silver. Silver is a nutral color it looks good against any surface. well almost any color surface.

has the same problem i do with colors...i was thinking aobut going with blue....cause of my wheels and neon set underneth....neons are only blue cause they came of my white 3rd gen.....i like the bronze idea though....good call..i was also thinking about white and changing the neons to white...cause cops are getting annoying

good luck with the car.... you can join up with the other few who own a black...no green...no...dark green max....lol

Gotta disagree with this one, silver doesnt look right if you've got silver wheels. If you got black wheels, then maybe, but not silver.

How about just going with a nice high gloss black?

I actcually like the idea of paintint the RSB. Which one do you have? I think the stillen is powder coated, and I can't imagine that it would be easy to paint.

But I like that idea.

Black is a little too plain, I am leaning towards a deep red, I was just afraid it wouldn't look good with the green. Silver was a consideration, but with the silver wheels and silver brake lines I think it would be silver overload like ericdwong said. Dark blue is still something a I am thinking about. Hmmm, Green on a green car, that would probably look classy. I think I may try stick some colored paper or cardboard in there to see how it will look, I have kind of a hard time visulizing it. Mainly I was wondering if there were any colors that would look bad with the green, or is it so close to black that it does not matter? I am not going to look like I am decorated for Christmas with red calipers on a green car am I?

What about the RSB, how would that look Red? or should I stay with the black powdercoat? If I did go with the Blue or Green it would probably look better on the RSB. The car will probably be at the stock hight (4X4 Mode ) for a while.

I am probably going to go with the Addco RSB, unless the Stillen one is $100 better. According to Greg at CustomMaxima.com, paint sticks to the zinc chromate finish very well.

BTW -- Got my loan check from the bank this morning, I am that much closer to owning it.

I left my RSB alone. No one looks down there anyways. But silver would look nice. But no one sees it unless you point it out.

1hotmax sprayed his silver. No one has yet to say, "Ooooooh... pretty RSB!"

I've had a couple people notice.... when people are driving behind you they can see it if it's clean

If I had a dark green Max, I would go with a lighter shade of green.
Yellow and Green don't go well together
Red and Green would make you look like a Big Christmas tree, driving down the road.
Black and Blue are too dark on a green car.
I think a lighter green.
