Green is awesome.

For some unknown reason, you pretty much *never* see really GREEN cars on the road. You see a lot of almost-greens. Greens that are embarassed to be green and so try to hide behind dark colors and metal flakes.

Not Forest green, not metallic dark green, not even neon green. All the various shades to avoid actually getting a really GREEN car.

I mean GREEN. Something that could sit next to NFR and look like NFR's evil mirror-universe twin. Something that came out of a different slot in the same paintbox.

So green there isn't really even a word for it because the word 'green' has been watered down too much.

You know, *GREEN*.

If I was repainting I would go for either Electron Blue Pearl, Laguna Blue Pearl, Laguna Seca Blue (BMW), Daytona Blue (Nissan), or perhaps GPW.

I'm also thinking about repainting my S2000. Any ideas how much I'm looking to spend and how long I'm looking to wait?

ok, im ressurrecting this thread because id like to kno how much itll cost to Repaint an S2. even repainting the Engine Bay, via dropping out the Engine or wat not. im just curious of wat it takes to do it right, as in Money that i$$

everyone brings up alot of different colors. poor guy that started this shouldve stuck with one color and asked wat shade or style of painting to go with. car colors are Endless... id go with the Imola or Pearl Orange myself.


sumone did Quote about 3k (and a loss of 2k for re-sale value) to re-spray a car with a similar color. but thats not taking into fact a sumone wanting an entirely different color and the Engine Bay redone.

just curious
ive no problems with my Silverstone
