What colour to paint AE86
|

Hi,
I just bought a $900 OZ Spec sprinter and it's all good exceplt the factory red paint has faded (fancy that)
So it will be getting a respray amongst other things.
What colour you rekon? It will have either a Ken Streeter kit or something very similar. It will primarily be used for drift so no suggestion is too crazy.
Any pics would be great to thanks.

DEFINITELY!!!
don't every go SUPER WHITE on a old car. A lot of people make the mistake of selecting a fully sick Super white off a _ _ _ _ (insert sick car name here, eg. WRX, Skyline).
The color simply doesn't suit the lines. Whats worse, the rest of the cars fittings, etc look really tired.
Not to mention it'll make you squint cause of the brightness.
If you wanna go white, go racing white!
haha.

Just to let you know candy colours dont last long with that depth effect, especially if its outside the garage.

1. racing white.........black bonnet (like SPIRITS car)
2. Light blue (Ford XR8)
3. Dark Blue
