Custom paint job???

Well Ive got so many things in store for the Max this summer. One to include is a new custom paint job. Just want some opinions or options on what you guys can come up with. I need help on some other colors that would look hot on the Max. Two of my favorites so far are:

G35's Diamond Graphite



or

something like JdoubleOe703's red Max:

Give it like a PPG Ferrari RED. Something nobody has, and is in stark contrast to red opulance.

Nothings wrong with the black. Just want to do something different. Dont get me wrong, you cant go wrong with black, its just too hard to keep clean! Dont know about the rims yet. Some of you already know that Im in search for some new ones right now. If I do keep the current rims, they will also be painted to match. Can anybody photoshop any of the colors above on a 6th gen?

If I were doing my ride, I would do like a burnt copper nose transitioning to an Opulence Red, From the front it would look burnt copper and from the back, you would think it were Opulence Red, the sides would look just awesome with the transition... My 3 cents...

I'm with Chernmax. Go with some type of fade or something with pearl in it. No one would really know what color it is. It would depend on how the light hit it. I know a guy that has a truck and I have no clue what color it is. It looks like champaigne sometime and then other times it looks kind of pinkish. I know that sounds gay but it looks really nice.

Still debating on a custom color for the Max. Any suggestions that anybody else can throw out there?

I like the red. But defiantly paint the rims the same as the body color. Would you do the lights? It would defiantly stand out on its own.

I'd leave it black. For resale reasons alone I've never been a fan of custom colors. BUT if I had to change the color of mine it would be Daytona Blue to match my Z. If you ever want to sell your wheels hit me up.

little confused why you'd want to even change the color of a car that is a year old. I'd go with the graphite or something

Yeah I thought about leaving it black but the care is just too much for me. Its just too hard to keep clean and I love my cars CLEAN! Plus I want to do something different. Dont worry guys, it wont be anything "ricey". Trust me I got good taste!

there's two colours when it comes to cars "Red" or "Black" (some may like yellow!@#$) but there are way too many black max's (mine included... i was too impatient to wait for the red) As long as it is metallic (paint) the red would look way better! from the sides! .. also depends on your taillight colours... red opul.. does not look "impressive" at all when it comes to the max form the rear!, as the black does!, but from the side...they are real cool, specially with some nice rims and shiny black tyres.

last thing .. women (that I've met) find black cars have more of a WOW factor! but like all things women love ... a lot of effort is reqd. (to keep it clean)
