I have a white, all original (except oldschool chrome tsw rims on it that the first owner probably put on) MKIII N/A:3d_frown: with targa top that needs a paint job. bad.
My problem is whether to repaint it white, keeping a very clean stock feel, OR paint it black, ALL black, including refinishing the wheels, which are going to be refinished anyways seeing as the original chrome paint is slightly rusting away.
SO
1) Redone in white, keeping the black trimming, refinished chrome wheels
2) Redone in all black, refinished chrome wheels
3) Redone in all black, refinished black wheels
4) mix and match? suggestions?

...also have a turbo and manifold trying to either get rid of or strap it on..
any help making that decision? :biglaugh:

i think old cars need newer car`s colors, to keep them looking fresh. Mine is blue metallic and i have seen it next to a freshly painted dark factory blue and mine looks just like taken out of the dealer.

Indeed, do it white or do it right.

Black is a better color
But keep it white because its cheaper and will end up looking better

If you want a black supra bad enough sell yours and buy a black one even if needs a new paint job because black wont stick on white and if it needs any body work it will show more dings & inperfections even dirt.

Also its hard to paint the door jams inside the engine bay never will look right if not done correctly (expensive)

If you decide to keep it do the panda theme with it kind of like duanes CFX one with CF hood looks decent.

keep the rims chrome or get white or gold deep dish rims if going aftermarket with a white car.

IMO the MK3 is one of the very few cars that look good white.
Door jambs are not hard to paint,and even staying the same color they should be sprayed anyways as they normally show some wear(it's actually easier to mask them off TO paint them)
Engine compartment is a different story,not hard to actually paint,just a PITA to take everything out in order to spray it.
Have you given any thought towards a pearl white?It wouldn't look too bad if you decided to not change the engine compartment.
