This should be a cool thread. Everyone, chip in what your favorite color is on a car. I am hoping to see some pictures too, not just...I like candy apple red. Lets see some pics that you guys and girls have saved on your computer. I am looking for idea's for next year. I really like light or dark color blues. If you know what paint it is on the car you like, state it!

This should be a nice thread as long as you keep on topic with out your unwanted remarks Chris.

If you dont have anything to bring to the table here, go back to the basement.

Mike with how much you like to change the color of your car, I think you need to go all vinyl like they do in Nascar. Only takes 'em a couple hours for each entire change. :P


BTW, I really think the color your car is now is pretty cool. It stands out and is bright without being annoying or girly.

Although if you want to tone down the sparkle, and stick with the blue, I've always been a fan of Laguna Seca Blue



As far as other stock colors go, although I hate mustangs, I liked the colors they offered in the 99+ models, another nice blue (azure blue)...

Only reason I am changing the color again for the last and final time is because I am re-doing some cosmetic body work to it. Changing some things on the body and front bumper and rear bumper so it all flows together now. I am planning on doing HOK Pearl Black on top, its a super dark black that is amazing, and the same color on the bottom. This time I think I am going to do a silver base coat though to make the blue a little darker, and NO flake at all. When I used all the flake last time, I went a little crazy, but thats because I wanted the car to REALLY stand out, and I must admit, it did stand out from the others, lol. Some liked it and some didnt. I now, do not. haha.

mine is called Blitz Blue Meca

No. We must protect the sanctity of CBCC. haha.

always a fan of blue, sad we never got a factory one.
one shop quoted me $7K to change from black to this blue. :(

My old Talon was kind of a Candy Apple Red / Metallic Red



I LOVE these shades of blue. Hopefully I can afford to change my Spyder from red to one of these for next season.

There were several factory ones actually...

Kona Blue (95)
Celtic Blue (96)
Light BLue (96)
Bright Blue (96)

I imagine this is the bright blue...



Celtic Blue...

well . . . shit

i guess i should have looked harder when i got mine instead of just grabbing a black one

thank you for correcting me there

pfft to the blue, except maybe Subaru WR (world rally) blue mica (think WRC car blue)

I like dark greens myself, HOK candy organic green over a dark silver/anthracite base. maybe a good old BRG (british racing green)

That is kind of the shade I want mine now. I think If I use a silver, or even a black base coat, it would turn out darker like that.

I like the blue that was offered on our cars in 95.

If you really want it to stand out in a show paint it canary yellow!

Kona Blue Pearl. Like Corey said, it was only offered for the GS and RS packages during the 95 model year for the Eclipse. I believe that it was offered for the Talon until production was halted.

For added HEAT, add the daffodil rims from a yellow Beetle!


Seriously, Mike, I think your idea of going darker blue is a good one. I also agree with you about toning down the flake this time around. I needed sunglasses to look at your pic in this thread!

dont know what exactly its called but it is pure sex...

Does that fu**ing windshield banner say Mugen?!
And why is the Mitsu logo upside down?!

Blasphemy!!!!!

I'm partial to a glossy black finish with black/gunmetal/chrome wheel finish, or even a metallic midnight blue with gunmetal/chrome wheel finish

I like silver but it seems I always end up in multiple colors of primer some day i get her painted

LOL.

Watch, like 5 years down the road, you'll get a scratch on your car and it'll look like a gobstopper with all the previous colors your car has been through.

Every color gets completely sanded down to the primer that was laid before color. I sand the car completely down and then block sand it again.

I am a huge fan of red. Although my color is a little brighter than stock, I think it gives the car a real sporty look.

green with stickers.

Death would be too swift a punishment...

i did mine blue and loved it but i wanted to do the mazda burnt orange color they have wishi i would have done it.

Flat black.

My FAVORITE color has to be "Northstar White" which happens to be the color of my eclipse. I beleive that it is still the color of white used on newer eclipses today. My second favorite color would definately be black.

I really like the Tarmac Black on the 2006 or 2007 EVO.

that color is nice.. I am a fan of many blues but they are becoming too showy/ flashy.. so something dark and subtle is clean

BLACK

may i ask whats wrong with flashy/show offy? i think the color is nice..like a tealish

clean is koo, and i guess thats the new trend..but i believe its all in the artist point of view.

it's all about black

i'm gonna murder it out =)

hopefully i'll have some pics by mid summer

I like Candy Apple red without metallic in the silver base coat. I want to forget its a car and take a bite out a the spoiler. I like candy " lolipop" BLue too, its a prety Deep blue. Yes I wish I could have my whole car that what but I cant afford Candy Apple Red so I went with W26 Frost white and I will Paint everything I can Kandy red over time LOL

i heard that a silver base coat with a few layers of a silver or platinum pearl on top with a dash of blue flake pearl mixed in with the clear coat gives off one hell of a look.
