What color should I repaint my car

[Suprastic]

I'm almost done preping my car for paint in the spring. What color should I go with? I like the anthracite color but I also like the '89 pearl white. My car is currently an '87 in white. Just asking for opinions.

blue

I'd go with anthracite, I like the color, and havn't seen a MKIII in it before.

 

[Suprastic]

Yeah, that the color I'm leaning more towards aswell. It also keeps clean nice. It's just that color that doesn't show much dirt, streaks and swirls.

Its is nice..
It has the stealthyness of black but its a bit more noticeable when u want it to be.

colors i'm trying to decide on for future use:

mkiv anthracite
mkiii dark mica green
mkiv white
baltic blue

...so hard to choose

My car I have now is staying the stock blue when it gets repainted. When I finally have the money to build up my 1JZ car, it's going to be Anthracite.

Black or Quicksilver.

 

[Suprastic]

Black or Quicksilver.

Brewster...you and Ideal are the reason why I'm choosing one of these two colors. I like the color of the mirrors I bought from you....but I also like the '89 pearl white spoiler I bought from Ideal. This is both you fault. LOL :rofl: :rofl: :bigthumb:

what do you want? go look at a color chip book!

I think I want the anthracite since it can easily be touched up. The pearl will be hard to match after painted and touching up chips would be a PITA and just not look good. The other poblem is I don't want to have a dark car with a white engine bay. The anthracite will cost me around $800cad and the pearl will cost about $1200cad. These prices assumes that I'll do all the prep work my self....which is almost all done.

The color of the mirrors I sent you was Charcoal Gray Metallic. Anthracite is the brown color on MKIV's.

Charcoal Gray Metallic is a good color, I'd go with that over white.

I can't believe there is even any discussion over this. All Supras should be painted black.

IMHO, of course.

 

[Justin727]

Just make sure you dont get anything tricoat. pretty hard to touch up.

if you can keep up with the washing and attention to clenlines get a pearl black, or if you tend to miss a wash or just dont want that dirty look go white or anthracite.

never seen an anthracite mkIII before, infact i have hardly ever see an anthraicite mkIV.

Jwcatto has an anthracite MKIII. I was looking for his pics on SF, but apparently that threads gone now..:3d_frown:

Thats what im concerned about with the pearl being a base coat, top coat and finally clear coat.

JWcatto's car looks friggin' sick IMO. Clean MSB is one of the best colors IMO. If you don't like black or have the energy to keep on top of it 110% (after working in a detail shop I don't think I'll ever own another black car...), dark grey or silver are awesome choices. And when clean, they look top notch.
