Default Considering New Paint

Still addicted to exterior changes before diving under the hood I have been thinking about getting the car painted. Looking at Laguna Seca blue, Lambo orange or yellow.

I did a few photoshops to help me decide and I figured I would get some more opinions.

Here they are.

the yellow looks like its not too far off from ultra yellow and the orange looks not too far off the solar orange. Maybe they look different in person though. The laguna seca blue is the only on imo that looks completely different from a stock color offered on a 350z

go for the blue sir. the yellow is too close to the 35th anni yellow, the orange is too close to solar orange.

if you are going to paint your car, get it away from the OEM colors, imo. if I was ever going to paint mine, I would be aiming at a color unlike any OEM nissan Z color.

it is your car though so take what you prefer

I like the Laguna blue, I agree the others colors are to close to OEM.

the wheels just throw it off for me. i know you might like it but i think it really hurts when it comes to color choices for your car.

If those are the wheels you intend to use stay away from the blue.

Don't like the color of the rims either. If you tend to keep those rims I think the organge looks the best out of the three....then yellow, then blue.

was trying to do the color of the lip on the wheels on the bmw but flattened and saved by accident so didn't feel like doing it over.

Thats pretty slick^^Just like the 3 colors I made though I still think the car would stick out. I need to remember this is my DD, a lot of attention isnt always I good thing I suppose.

Sadly the rims play such a big part in the look of the car. I suppose I would have to do photochops with different rims to get a real feel for what color I would really go with. The only other rims Im really digging are the Work T1S, polished black with the stepped lip, which would really go with any of those colors.

Im partial to the blue but Iv always liked the orange since Iv seen, whose is it, Leeboys 350z?

I talked with my shop today about getting either the Lambo orange or BMW blue...Im looking at around $10k easy..Maybe it would be smart of me to stick with the white, get a BBK, and a few other parts to increase performance for now.

you can't find a quality paint job for 3-5k?

Well of course thats always true. Down the road I may put the car in shows so cant hurt to see what people like more. Besides I just like opinions and peoples suggestions in general.
