I say keep the black, but as you can see I am partial. I do, however understand what a PIAS it is, just remember when its perfectly clean there is no better color! check out this max It is liquid copper in color!

Black is always HOT! That copper looks OK on the Max. Maybe a metalic blue. But you cant go wrong with black.

I would say to do a color that is a lot less common and that has a cleaner look. You don't need a flashy copper/yellow/blue/red to stand out.

For your car I would do a gunmetal or darker silver or if you really wanted something that would stand out more, do the limited lexus is300 red/orange color.

I'd go with Porsche Seal Grey, SOMEONE has to do it on a maxima. Looks so clean, pictures dont do it justice. In person it is stunning.

If not the gunmetal, midnight blue as suggested be4 is also sick. Either or those two with good paint makes me The last custom midnight blue paint job I saw looked insane. The paint looked like it was wet all the time! Looked like you could walk right into it... Damnit now I want a new paint job.

make them ghost smilies so itd look faint in your paint job. People would be taking double takes at your car asking themselves what they just saw. lol!

i like blue. it depends on what you mean by that, though. pearl blue? midnite blue? blue-grey metallic? i feel that blue is not played out enough. i rarely, if ever, see blue maximas, as that is typically a custom job. as far as i know, maximas only have come from the factory as a dark blue metallic, like midnite, or that light blue-grey color. the skyline blue is beautiful.

yellow, black, sliver, etc, are all nice, as it depends on what you do to the car after it is painted: rim color and style, body kit or not, dropped, tinted, all make a huge difference to what the body color's over effect has on the eye.

I fprget the name for it but the crazy eggplant purple on a Skyline looks awesome. I bet it would look good on a Max.

I think after a few years, that red would start to become pink

A dark red or 350Z copper would surely look nice.

id go with a darker blue, imo i dont like all the new light-blue and medium-blue colors out there on today cars

dark/navy blue is where its at.. Heres a good example the factory color on the 4th gen WS6 T/As and camaros, i forgot the exact color name. This thing is gorgeous..
