i just needed help with my maxima. I was planning on two toning my maxima. The color of my car is K50... so im wondering if anyone can help me make decision how to two tone it n what color. ill upload few pics from different angle so you can can see it.. thanks for all help in advance


old pic of my car

 

my friend did editing on this pic n thought i should get my rims power coated purple what u guys think?

 

That's a nice color, don't two tone it.

 

Purple is a hell no..................if you feel real strongly about doing a two tone then your best bet would be the color you have now and black. That's because you already have black on your car and by doing that, your just completing the look that your aiming for anyways.

 

IMO don't two tone it, but if you do don't go for a similar color. If your gonna two tone and spend all that money you might as well go for a color that contrasts with your paint now. A lighter color perhaps so it clashes and stands out. Think about it.

 

Maybe matte black on the hood, roof and trunk? U can use a vinyl overlay

 

You really want to paint your car? K50 is like charcoal gray? You should change the name of the thread to "show me your two-tone paint job" You will get a lot good ideas that way. Oh yeah, don't go with purple rims.

I got an old pic, not my car of course.

 

well thing is idk what i want to do yet... a lot of ppl have told me to keep car as is n just get carbon fiber hood.. trunk .. good idea? or nah? .... n rims hmmm i think i might get them power coated gun metal.. but i feel its not going to look good for some reason... so i just need everyone's help in deciding if i should two tone it or leave it as in ... n same with rims
thanks again everyone

 

Let me give you an idea: Here is Fastmax05, he had a wicked car, CF Hood, I think the same color as yours. What color is K50?




OR STILLEN BODY KIT

I think he keep his black, check this links there are more pics of what it would look like.

do they even make a CF hood for 6.5 gen??? i only see it from 2004-2006 not for 2007-2008

any links anyone knows ?

 

Oh dang, did realize. But at least you get an idea how it might look.

 

I seen someone have a CF hood on a 6.5 before and it doesn't go completely over the headlights and it looks funny. If you want that then you got to go to a body shop and have them fix it up to fit the car perfectly. If you got the doe then go for it........

 

how bout if i get hood painted ???....

 

I would suggest the roof instead......you can buy some black vinyl and have a shop put it on. That way it won't be permanent and still look painted. Just in case you change your mind or something.

 

Dont ruin the car man.. purple rims? common..
IF you dont like the rims .. why'd you get them originally lol? That's why you should have done a lot of research to find something you'd like.

as far as two tone.. i wouldnt do it. I would just do the roof black. There is currently NO 6.5 gen carbon fiber hoods. Just do the roof black and leave it as that.

 

Forgot, you might wanna take out the badges you want on there and either powder coat the bottom grill black or take it out completely.

 

@I3LaZeN .... hmm i love my rims .. i was just wondering.. if they would look good.....

n yea i might want to get vinyl for the roof.... any help with links?

 

IMO purple suits certain cars/rims...like purple volk te37's on a black S15 ....however if you do decide to powdercoat ur rims purple i suggest yew stick with a purple theme...for example 12k HIDs in yur headlights n fogs... anyways, i photoshopped one of yur pics to give yew an idea of wat it would look like...





a lil darker:


i personally like the idea of purple rims w/ chrome lip on yur max...some people might call it ricey but everybody has a different taste...in the end it is yur car and yur opinion dat should matter...do whatever you're satisfied with...good luck

 

^^^^ thanks a lot for the photo-shop man .. now at least i got idea hows it going to look.... but imnot sure ... what im going to do

 

Don't do purple rims man
