I have a '96 SE Auto and the current color is black. Later on, I might have some money. I want to get a new paint job. Getting tired of the factory black paint. So, what color do you guys suggest if I get a paint job? What do you think of a bluish color, not sure if the Electron Blue Pearl that is on the Civic Si's look good on a Maxima. That's one of my choices. How about silver? Also, what is the price range of a full car paint job. I might do this after I buy me the Stillen kit. Any suggestions?

Blue? everyone and their mama's have blue paint on their maxima. I remember a time when mine was the only one. If i could repaint it, i would paint it metallic red kinda like the color that comes on the new C5 vettes.

Bright silver would look cool.

gun metal

remember the iside of the door is gonna remain black as well as the trunk and the engine compartment. so i suggest if not metalic black or something close so it wont' look like a box of crayons. the gun metal is the color that one supra had i forgot what it was. i think it was veilside. or something. it was nice.....
