Should I paint it RED or Black ????

[adidas333]

Just trying to decide what color i like wanted to see if i can get opinions???

If i go with red im gonna get the falken Hanabi 17's bronze (with the CF hood and hatch)

If i go with black im gonna get a set of black rims with the red lip (no cf Hood)

I also want to get my interior done but i havent seen any ideas on here...

So if you guys could give some advice just bored right now figure why not ask the pro's

If you are painting the whole car, what about spicy orange?

Otherwise, I vote for red. The bright red that was offered on the P5 and 99-00 sedans.

ok red, because im going with a black and bronze theme with a cf hood
so red all the way i dont want to look like im copying someone lol

 

[MazdaSpeeder]

I vote SPICY...or Laser Blue!

spicy? do u guys kno how much that paint costs? and its a tricoat pearl paint so thats gonna take sometime to paint and gonna be in the 2000 dollar range most likley

EDIT: unless ur painting it urself then go for it lol i wouldnt suggest it tho, black is the easiest color to paint and the cheapest but red sometimes affects ur insurance rates

Red, because I like the Hannabis, they match red very well.

red but paint the roof black too, since you'll have C/F hood and hatch. A black roof will look super hot!

now after u said it that way the red would be better because the rims ur lookin at are cheap, what site are u lookin to buy them from? i can prob find them for cheaper somewhere

Why not a gray slate color? That color was never an option on the P5.

Havent really decided where i would buy the Hanabis but im guessing nobody like the black on black with red lip look?????

Yeah, I was assuming he was talking about having it professionally done. Black if you are doing it yourself.

having just looked into getting my car painted...GO WITH BLACK! Because believe it or not, the color also determines the price. Yellow is the most expensive by far as far as automotive paint, due to the high amount of actual dye/color it needs to be a rich dark color. Red is 2nd most expensive, and guess what? BLACK IS THE CHEAPEST! Just to get enough yellow to paint my new bumper and lip(that being a quart) is $167. Black would be 105, i didnt ask what red was but still, you could save a ton of money here...just my two cents

where are you getting the cf hatch?

 

[Protege5Girl88]

pretty much what i said but thanks lol
and u must be using alot of paint to use a quart on a bumper and lip
a gallon paints two cars, depending on how u paint of courseso a quart would be like one and a half cars lol

red for three reasons
1. Black shows dirt like no other color. wash it, drive it 10 miles, and it looks dirty again.
2. Unless you live in the arctic, black cars are too damn hot in the summer. interiors bake even if you cover the windows.
3. red is oh so more... colorful

haha, i went to another paint supply shop to get quotes, they said "Who the f&$% told you that you needed a quart for a bumper+lip!" exact words! He said probably half a quart to be safe, a full quart if i wanted extra for sure that i could sell...
