or the metalic red...

they both look very good, but they've both sooooooo done...

[riojin]

you cannt have a metalic red that looks red, its impossible. closest you can get is a pearl red or a candy red. metalic red just goes maroon->dark red

[rich_86]

ones already maroon but want my other one to be a lil diff to the norm colors on 86s cheers

um stay away from metalics

white is ok

titanium would look sik

charcole metalic looks sweet

[r3zzz4]

[riojin]

i usually would say here "YELLOW AE86's REPRESENT!" but i dont have my yellow ae86 anymore so.......

just go matt black mate. would look so bogan thrasher. i may be going that for my next 86 ;)

[djscheppy]

primer grey (like my car)


colour is up to you man and what YOU like

[HRV-00S]

x2 for the titanium or one of those metallic gold/champaign colours (not top secret gold)






or maybe pink, real men wear pink ;)

[Gilly]

a gun metal grey would look pretty sick with your kit/bonet and the black meshies

[24 yr old Two door 86]

bmw m3 techno violet
4 pearls
looks black in overcast
blue in direct sun

[maxhag]

i was gonna do mine Commodore Black/Purple.

[johl]

understated white ftw. nothin better than a nice clean white hachi. not a big fan of bright standout colours. look gay and semm to me to be beggin for attention. either all white or white with black front and rear bars and bonnet

[Driftspec]

Is this the good one or the thrasher? :)

Go silver and black, you know you want to... :D

[GAKI86]

I thought so :)

Jusdrifn's ride is a nice blue, not sure what it is called though (should be in his build thread). Or a light green?

White is good (not panda), different too :)

[Gunner]

brandy (QS colour unfortunately so very $$$$colour on that twin turbo 360)over 2 pak matt black, well thats what im doin but i recon somethin over a nice smooth even matt black

[TrackRona]

how about inverting the panda paint scheme? (black upper, white bottom?) that or a white/red two-tone.

i know those schemes suck, but he did say he wanted something original. ;)

[starni_boy]

chocolate panda..

looks heaps hot!!

[Gullie]

A light teal... Metallic?.....panda??

2pak Burnt orange panda?

White/silver/black all look good but deffinately not original, which is what your after.

If you (or any of your mates) got any computer skills take a photo of your car, open it in photo shop, select all the bodywork and then play around with the hue/saturation settings until you find something you like. Then try and find paint of a similar colour, or take the photoshopped photo to a paint shop n get them to mix it up for ya. This way you get to sample YOUR car and see what it looks like in every colour. No doubt ull find something you like, and something original! Just a suggestion!

hey rich,
sorry mate, don't know what the actual colour is...looks to have a slight pastel/creamy blend through it.
possible a cappucino colour.
as for the black i'm not quite sure.
i will more then likely paint mine wrx sti black which has a gold pearl through it.
found the pic on jdmtuning forum site
