Want to paint the max

So, Im deeply thinking about painting my car. Its CG2 right now, but am leaning towards either a dark gray color or white, but more towards dark gray.

My question is did maximas come in a dark gray color as a 4th gen ? And if you have a 4th gen that is dark gray please post pics !!!!!!!

Thanks

Do a metal flake graphite. I saw a car custom painted that once and it was *sharp*.

Which interior do you have? If its black, prettymuch anything goes will with that, not everything goes with tan/brown though.

Dark grey would look awesome on a 4th gen. I saw one on Craig's List a while ago I wanted it so bad JUST cuz it was grey lol. Try this site for color codes. I believe it helped out another .orger quite well when deciding on a color:

Depends on what you get done and where you go.

The new Mustangs that come in that color (or close to it I guess) is called Tungsten Grey. Haha that's probably my favorite part of getting customers' paperwork lol! Cuz we get the info on the car, and look ! The exact color of the car

Sorry...I'm amused too easily.

2k for a good paint job easily.

ask yourself if you wanna drop that into a 9+ year old car though.

it all depends on how much you love your max. i'm personally just gonna rock granny gold till i get another car, i need 2 thousand bucks for other stuff right now



jsmax your car is clean man, absolutely love the retrofit, the clears, and the rotors look sick under them rims

i don't know why i'm so obsessed with projectors, saw a cadillac yesterday with 6, 2 in each headlight and 1 for each fog light... i cried tears of joy

and yeah wizards ride is pretty much the most ideal grey max ever, good work with that one buddy, sh*t makes me so jealous
