I'd stick with Super Black, to see it repained and fresh not 9 years old would look Spectacular, or Charcoal Grey, very dark grey


dual sigs!!

I would just repaint my Superblack, it's a PITA to keep it clean but the look is worth it. If that was not an option, I'd do a metallic silver pearl

i feel like most people are saying black or gray...do something that most people won't say to do. It's your car, not everyone elses, what is your favorite color?

Drastically changing the color is totally stupid and will rarely look good. Unless you do an insane amount of work(AKA:Rip it down to the chassis) it will always be a POS because there will always be those bits of original color in the engine bay, door jambs, etc... I've seen some cars that have been repainted a different color in person. Only the ones that were completely ripped apart looked good. All the others looked like abosolute ****.

Eh, thats not always true. My car turned out the way i liked it. It depends on the quality of the paint job as well. You can find my original paint in y engine bay. But with my hood down, my paint job was pretty damn nice.

Any colour that would show chips or scratches easily I would consider getting more coats for durability.

i'd have to repaint mine the same deep evergreen, it looks nice when the sun shines on the metallic bits, and totally blacked out when it's dark out

I would paint mine Black instead of the blurry, chipped black paint I have now that looks ugly with the Maroon trunk and engine bay.

I changed from Granite Pearl to Black. I wouldn't recommend trying anything drastic like Broaner says.

I want to do mine in the stock dark green but with a pearl white lightly sprayed on. Just so that it glistens a little bit.

I mines is pearl white but I would love to change it to the blueish / grey color. I thinks it's slate blue. AWESOME color with chrome rims and black windows. I would also love to change my tan leather interior to black. But what you got is what you got.

that sounds good, i would do a gray thats close to the carbon fiber gray, so a dark gray or a sweet lookin blue, but something that matches with the rest of your car.
