Changing paint What Color....?

i Have a Majestic Blue AE but Im painting it a different color , I just have 3 options what do you guys think?

Bmw Carbon Black...( its got a some blue in it!)





or..

Change it with just a stock Nissan Maxima Grey Lustre, or Lexus IS300 Metallic Charcoal...



or just keep it majestic blue?

Also, I will be getting black wheels with polish lip, i have a vis carbon fiber hood, and im blacking out my 2k2-2k3 headlights, what do you guys prefer which color would look the best with these modifications? Thank you!

I would keep it the blue... I think the blue is really nice.

I love the grey lustre but it is a biatch to keep clean and it shows EVERY scratch and ding... I can clean the crap out of the car and the next day it looks dirty again

All black colors are like this... they look great when waxed and clean... but if it scratches or gets dirty, it looks awful...

I like that BMW color. But probably keep the majestic blue, I wanted that color for my max but couldn't find one in good condition.

I agree with Italiano- keep that maj. blue! Total repaints are costly, and almost always end up with problems (I work at a body shop). If you do decide to paint- make sure you go to a good shop (which will cost much more) and if possible get a warranty. ( 2 ups for Carbon Black if you do paint )- beautiful color!

I agree with everyone that said to keep the majestic blue. To me, the color seems a little more police friendly than the darker colors you are planning to paint it.

I love Majestic blue. Black is a bish
Saab paint would probably cause electrical problems and poor performance.

As always, you should make up your own mind and stop taking up bandwidth posting huge pics.

Ohhhh god do I know the truth in that... the electrical problem
