Default Build Color Options

I picked up a 1994 SC300 with 272,000 miles on it. I'm doing a pretty great extent of work to it. A complete 2JZ-GTE/V160 swap with a TRD diff, single turbo, and built motor. But aside from all the performance things I will be doing, I want this car to be beautiful. I'm looking for some input on a color scheme overall for the car. It will get a new paint job, I just put on 5% Tint, and it will most likely get most of the interior swapped due to wear. The back seats are already out and are replaced by 2 subwoofers and my 2 amps for those and the speakers with a custom box coming soon. The color ideas will be in the poll and post down here if you have any other ideas or suggestions for the build coming soon. Thanks!

With any of these schemes, it'd be black or gunmetal wheels. exterior trim or accent would all be black. The accent in the poll is for interior accent colors

White, pearl white, and silver are always nice and clean looking. I'm probably going to paint my green one white soon. I've been thinking about 350Z burnt orange eventually, but I would like to pay for a nice paint job in that color.

Yea I'm gonna have someone spray it and i'm going to prep it. The white would probably be pearl. The black will be flat or regular, the blue is like a sky blue, really flashy, and the green is like a flashy lime color.

I voted for black/black/blue accents. If it were me, I would do dark gray as the accent color, if it's a must.

I love black/black cars with a bit of polished aluminum, it's a killer look.

Black on black with blue accents and blue on black would both look good.

Do you guys know any places to pick up good condition, clean interior pieces without paying out the @$$? Because I agree, black would look sick, but I am unhealthily particular and seeing as it is currently tan interior, I would need alot of replacement interior parts.

Just keep on praying for a wrecked black interior car to show up. You'll pay a good chunk of change to purchase everything at once but you'll spend less in the long run. Pretty sure the seller will give you a good deal if you purchase all the pieces at once.

Keep your eyes open, something will show.
