It's a 97, subtle drop, sarona ver. 1 sides, and rear. CF Hood, stillen front lip, black tints, chrome trim and door handles. What color red should I paint, any metallic, any flakes? Give me input.

That cherry red looks good but it's a little to dark I want something a little more lighter. Kinda like the Ferrari colors, or the 350z / G35 C colors.

To the ones voting brown nahhhhhhhhh ;) I'll pass.

candy apple red with like 5 base coats on a white primer, with flakes galore..

im assuming moneys not an option?

Hey it's cool dude. Red is played out anyways

hahahaha

Harris, you just painted that car? How many times are you going to change the color? Keep in mind, being the car now has at least 3 paint jobs if not more on some pannels, it should come back down to metal for a fresh clean slate to start with again. To many layers or paint jobs will start to show poor quality, especially around edges. There is also a greater risk of mapping.

Think real hard before you paint that car again.

Well I spoke with Tilley (He's the one painting it) in reference to Tom's post. I asked him about the edges and "mapping". I have no idea what mapping is, neither does, he. Tom, what's mapping?

Here's what he told me he would do, he said it was going to sand down the car with probably a 400 grit, and block all the panels to smooth them out. And block the edges too and primer whatever need to be primered. Then shoot the base, and clear.

The roof, driver side fender, pass. 1/4 panel rear door and front door, and driver side front door have only been repainted once. The front bumper has been repainted I think twice. Rear bumper never been repainted, trunk lid, driver side 1/4, and driver side rear repainted 3 times.

But the original shop (Tom's old body shop) probably added 3 clear coats so the paint isn't thick.

Tilley said the edges and what not would come out nice and I've seen his body work, it's really good. So I'm not too worried.

yep. but how many crimson blaze red max's do you see though? ;)

I'm thinking about the G35 / 350Z red with metallic, I've seen 1 crimson blaze my whole life! HAHA

hahaha agreed

Something in a Metallic Ox Blood...

Although I do like that Cherry Red 240

BMW M3 color - Imola red, very classy!

Yeah I'm definately going to go with something like that just have to figure out what kind of metallic I want.

I'll also leave the door handles and trim chrome ;)

The color on the M3 looks the best, IMO.

How about a bright cobalt blue color...i don't have a picture of it....It would look hot with the CF hood....

I like the maroonish color that comes on the G35 sedan. That M3 color is nice.

how about the red from the Altima SE-R?

get the Quicksilver color of the limited edition toyota supra

that imola red looks good, or 350z blue

hate that color, it would look fugly on a max.

id paint the door handles, your going for the sporty look with the body kit, cf hood etc, painted handles would flow much better then chrome in my opinion. you dont see chrome door handles on sports car :)

Luxury, and sport ;). The trim would be chrome regardless I don't know how they would paint that.

That imola red really hit the nail for me. Is that similar to the red of the g35?

That's pretty much Crimson Blaze Red.

yeah its pretty similiar, im also a fan of the g35 red, but if i was gona pick a red id go with imola red. its not to bright, its just perfect. but maybe its just because its on M3's, and i dont even consider them cars, there artwork

+1 for the imola red

I second Imola Red!

Lexus IS has a Matador Red Mica its off the hook. do that.
and it goes a little something like this
