Repainting my 03. What color?

[Sonic03BlueGT]

Like the title states, It has finally came time to respray my 03. It has 2 small door dings, numerous rock chips, and is beginning to show some age. So the question is what color of black do i spray it? Im thinking either: stock black, a subaru black that has lots of blue flake in it, or black with red flake. If you have any other input let me know, but it will be some shade of black

Need pics of the two different shades of black.

Glossy black, I suggest.

Flat black

only color i know of is the stock black and the black with blue is called midnight black pearl from subaru

Flat black

although flat black is sweet, the car makes about 200 hp too little to pull it off, plus i dont wanna have to spray the engine bay

Depends on if we are talking a cheap $1500-2000 paint job or a proper quality $4000-6000+ paint job.

the job will be of high quality, i went to school for auto body. Two of my friends will also be helping, one has a degree from NADC for auto body and the other has been doing it for 20 years. So the job will cost $500 or so but be of the best quality

factory black, one of the best colors period..

I agree. Factory black. Nothing nicer than a freshly painted black car !

Check out Dodge Black Pearl

How about lava red? (2012 mustang color and 2010 Harley Davidson F150 color, paint code UZ) Looks black in shade/undirect sunlight and plain awesime in the sun!

 

[nckissfan]

that newer Ford metallic black is a pretty nice color. That Lava Red is really nice looking

i think its narrowed down to tuxedo black, factory black, or midnight black pearl

Are you doing all the jams and under the hood ? If not I would stick with the stock black.

Were are you buying materials for $500 ? A gallon of good paint will be more than that.

I still get my discount at the paint store from when i used to work at a body shop, so i think ill get out for right around 500, already have a gallon of clear that i had left over from a couple of side jobs i did. Most likely will be spraying the car with martin senor paint, i have had great luck with it in the past, and yes if i go with the flake then i will have to paint the jambs etc. I wont be painting underhood though(shock towers/apron), i dont think it will be a noticable enough difference to justify pulling the motor
