if you were to paint your car......
if you were to paint your car what color would it be?. right now my 8 is black and as as you all black 8 owners black is the hardest color to keep clean and scratch-free besides my front bumper needs to be repaint so what you guys think would be a good color. thanks

nice signature btw! for the 8, i like lightning yellow the best. but, i find single-tone interior rather boring. so, if they ever offered a lightning yellow + black/ yellow leather interior, i think that would be my #1 choice. but, since that's never been an option, black + black/ red is my 2nd choice.

Well, seeing as I am crazy and all, I would love a bright pink/fuschia color. I know you won't pick that one!!! 
Otherwise I have a thing for blue cars. But the colors have to be metallic/mica definitely. I don't like flat paint colors.
I figure if I ever have enough money I can always get that Ferrari I've been wanting since I was 2 and get it painted pink And I bet I'll have the only one that looks that way.

. Just repaint the bumper. Big $ difference in repainting the bumper and painting the whole car.

Nice car in the link, adrian-1. I can't decide between black and blue for my '06. I was leaning towards blue, but everytime I see a nice black pic like that I get back on the fence again. Decisions, decisions.

If I were having to repaint b/c of damage, I'd do what my budget affords and would stick with the velocity red.
HOWEVER, if money weren't an option, and I could repaint my entire car, the midnight strato blue offered in Japan is mighty purty....

Ah yes I really like that color too. Sad it wasn't offered to us here in NA.

If I had a second '8 to repaint, I'd do it in Hyundai "Metallic Midnight Green" and use Ford "Metallic Mulberry" for the trim parts. I had the same scheme on my ex-Hyundai, and loved it. Dash and interior plastics were resprayed to match (in either colour), as well.

I don't have the car anymore (selling it to a friend) to take a better photo of, but that's the colours I'm talking about.
