Talking going to paint my sc300 a new color. Any ideas?

Ok so I picked up a 97 sc300 teal (not my fav color). I'm thinking of either going platinum silver like the Oem sc300 came or a apex silver metallic that the EVO 8 come with.

Anyone else have good color ideas with pics? My body shop guy quoted my $1500 any color I want basically since he is a friend.

Go with RSP Royal Saphire Pearl, Black Onyx or Midnight Indigo Pearl

All OEM colors for a SC that look great.

yeah im really feeling the RSP but I dont know if it will be too flashy for a stock looking 97 sc300.

Yes man you have to try to keep cars original color whenever possible.

The teal is actually a nice color.

Also for $1500 youre not goin g to get the engine bay painted---inner doors and inner trunk done im sure.

Color changes ussualy lower a cars value significantly.

1WILLY1 brings up a good point. A color change does decrease value unless the entire car is done.

Anyway, I would go with Garnet Pearl, Boroque Pearl, Ultrasonic Blue, Platinum Silver, or Onyx Black.

Is it dark green, jaded? If not you probably have the extremely rare (limited) supra color that was offered in 1997, keep it this color.
