  • Need some input and ideas on a new paint scheme

    hey everyone, im getting ready to do a complete paint job on my Z. I kind of like the factory color of Medium Red Metallic but im also thinking about just changing the whole thing to a different color. It does have the SS hood on it now and will also have a SS rear spoiler and maybe a 2" drop all around, not sure on that yet. Anyways, could anyone give me some ideas for a nice, not too common and nice flowing paint color scheme? I am not going to be doing it myself but instead decided to have it done right by a professional. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys!image.jpg
    Thanks,
    Stephen

      I'd stay away from the hockey stripe, hard to pull them off on 4th gens, 3rd gens as well. So many misses but a few do it really well.

      The metallic red and black does look great though Not a huge fan of flashy colors unless the car can really back it up. In my eyes, it needs to be spotless and the lines subtle enough so the color can take the stage instead of fighting with any other "flash". The other mods should come secondary, the complete package should keep your eyes busy with the car for a while and not overwhelmed

        I would stay with stock color, it is not a common color and with black accents really pops. Then you don't also have to worry about door jams and under the hood.
