Alright, now that I am definitely keeping my GS, I am seriously considering getting it painted a different color. Lets here some opinions for some cool colors. I think the car looks great in black...but damn its a pain in the *** to keep the swirls out of it. I think I would like to get it painted a non factory color, just to set it off from the others out there...but I dont think the GS can pull off anything to extreme. Throw out any thoughts or input you might have.

I have become a big fan of metallic graphite or gunmetal. It has a nice deepness and luster with less of the swirl issue.

Yeah, something along those lines have been on my list as well. the Viper GTS has a nice gunmetal color available.

Richie

That is a colour I would choose.

Ditto. Nice dark silver/metallic gunmetal. Different and classy.

Something like this?

My vote would also be for a metalic graphite. As for the GS handling unusual colors, take a closer look at airtrackk's. Not a color I would have picked to start but it looks really good on the car.

I've always been a fan of dark candy colors, too bad a guy just joined with a candy red GS!

If you do the gunmetal, wont it be kinda close to the Sportdesign charlcoal?

I think black suits the mods/demeanor of your car perfectly! Maybe you should tackle the custom interior before deciding on the color change to buy yourself some time!

ok, j/k. graphite is good, but i have seen too many graphite these days. it's just like when silver first came out back in 97-98. how about some dark blue (i forgot the name) that looks like black during the night but blue during the day?

I'd check out the new 2004 car models and see if their was a color that caught my eye! I as well really like Airrtrack's copper color which happens to be similar to that bieng used on some newer model Nissan's.

Remember ..................what's in today is out tomorrow!

Good Luck!

I wouldnt go with anything that is a "trendy" color...it would be a variation of the classic colors that dont go out of stytle.

D...I agree that the black does suit my car with the mods that I have, ie. the kit.....I have seriously been thinking of a black with a twist. Maybe the Carbon Black that BMW has, its black that has a blue tinit to it in certain light. Maybe a real real dark blue that appears black sometimes and blue others. Maybe a black with blue pearl...if there is such a thing.

I know the guy with the Candy Apple Red GS got me thinking of the Candy colors. The problem with the Candy colors is making sure the painter knows how to apply it. If candy colors are not applied perfectly even you get shaded spots in the paint...its a difficult mix to master, but it looks great when it is.

Yeah man, I think Toyota has a Solara color thats a REALLY dark blue, looks black until the light hits it. Even with the Candy, for the most part, if you stay DARK you will be in style for a LONG time, if you think of trendy colors, they tend to be bright! (yellows, greens, whatever)

IMO the Veiside front bumper has alot of style lines that look better in darker colors that allow it to be aggresive and still blend in!

I agree, the VS kit does look better on dark colored cars. I have had people tell me that a bunch of times. It kind of plays it down just enough.
