Default What color to paint car?

Hey all , would like input on what color you think i should have car repainted. Probably gonna be in shop soon for body work & was thinking of either same color or possibly a color change.

White, it looks good and unless you take half the car apart to get all the jams painted etc. it won't look right when you open something and still see the original white paint in areas.

Yeah, changing the color of a car isn't as simple as just spraying a new color on.

+1 white

paint door handles too. They stand out too much on lighter cars.

Keep it the same color... unless as mentioned above you basically completely take apart the car you will be able to tell the car was once white...

Before I even knew what color your car was I was gonna say WHITE. I'm a little bit biased though... I agree with what was said above ^^^much easier to repaint same color etc.

Love the gold BBSs, and the car looks good too!

I say you should paint it whatever color you want. It's your car.

Of course, if it was me I'd keep it white for all of the previously-mentioned reasons.

Stock. It looks great in that color - why change it? Not to mention in AZ, it'll be a little bit cooler!

thx V2..wheels were on it when i purchased it, had thought bout selling them before the paint job but now i think i really like wheels & looks nice so i will probably keep them.
Loquat ha yea took long time cause the shop kept it for ever it seems. was total paint change so took a while but no excuse why it was at shop as long as it was even w/body work done. course i've been dealing w/foot injury as well so couldnt drive her..argh so frustrating but now foots getting better so looking forward to driving her before here to long even in the stupid az heat.
