50154, What "NON FACTORY" paint color would you paint your eclipse? Posted by grneclipse, Jun-12-03 05:45 PM
Sorry guys, this is going to sound like one of those "what color should I paint my car deals" but I need some ideas on what colors are out there.
Currently I have a 99 Black GST (the orange RST is long gone) and my paint guy offered me a great price on my next project. So the two color choices I "thought" i wanted was
Stock Black with House of Color "Oriental Blue" over it ....... BUT I'm not sure if that would even show up that much.....
Than i was thinking of 350z Blue (Does anybody know the color code for that?) But I don't want to do the jamz because it's more $$$
Anyhow, let's hear some ideas guys, and yes I know I know, you are saying pick what you like.....but I'd like some input, get me some fresh ideas
The previous two colors as seen in my sig were Tangelo Orange, and Viper Blue so let's skip those two k?
TIA

Don't have the stock Eclipse anymore Just a stock Gsr now, :)

I've been digging the coppery/bronzish color on the 350Z lately, might be a little too similar to the orange you had tho.
 95ESI-intake,borla,sportlines,kyb,17"TSW Momo Montecarlo(srs light stuck on for 3 years) yep, nothin special

House of Kolor "Candy Brandy Wine".
This is the only example I could find...and it's not even a great one.

The blue on the 350Z is called "Daytona Blue." When i went to go test drive one (bastards didnt have one to test on the day) the sales man went over a lot of things about the car. that color is one the SWEETEST! colors i have seen in a while. im thinking of doing that color on my eclipse, but it is probably EXTRA expensive.

THAT COLOR IS THE BEST... I've didn't think anyone else liked it... I like it becuase its dull... It rocks.

I think that it depends on if you want flashy or a more clean look. For flashy, either 350Z Blue, or the new Mazda6 Blue (I really like the Mazda6 one because it's not as bright). Otherwise, I would go with a gunmetal type color, or the escalade pearl white. I would really recommend painting at least the door jams (if you can't afford under the hood and trunk). Maybe they could do the jams for a couple hundred more. That's because every time someone opens the door, they'll see the black inside, and I think it is pretty noticeable. Good luck...
