Best colour for my Celsior?
|

Hi guys and girls, well the wait is almost over, my Celsior is due to arrive in Australia on the 14th of may. The paint work is a little shabby so I was thinkin of getting it sprayed an entirely different colour.
Would love to hear some opinions, I was thinkin of something dark, I do like black, but all I hear about black cars is how hard they are to keep clean and how they are hotter then other colour cars.
Anyway here is a couple of pics of it, help me out please, thanks

Ahhh you prick 
Nice car.
My opinion. Blackest black you can get. Just gotta keep it clean thats all. It would look nuts with full-on black.

lol I had been looking forever, this isnt exactly what i was after, but it was the closest thing I could find, and with the 15yr old rule possibly getting squashed, I jumped on it, lol.
And yeah black, yay, lol.

Yeah the red isnt bad, just that from the report i got, its a bit of a rough job in some spots. Bit of orangpeel effect going on. So I figured instead of risking the drama of mismatching the red, I would just go a different colour. There is that and the car we have now is a red st204 Celica, so somethin different would be nice too. Anyone after a red st204 btw?

I just found out its called Obsidian Black Pearl Metallic...
I would say its one of the coolest black's on any car the moment...
ALthough, If you had a soft spot for baby blue... I'd be going the echo Blue pearl...

lucky bastard. I reckon blackest black you can find will do very nicely, along with dark ass tints...
Otherwise i'd recommend white or white pearl with dark ass tints

if u pulled that wing off it would look more VIP. Which depends on how much work it takes gettn it off though as it looks like its been moulded on. But i gather if ur doing a full respray u may as well do it if u dont want to keep the wing. Although u gotta keep those charcoal couloured rims (so hot)

Well no it isnt a show off thread, altho it might seem that way if the pics make you jealous, I just wanted some opinions.
Here is the j-spec page for it, I got about 160 more pics but they mostly show whats wrong with it.
http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=1531
oh yeah and all that red paint on the interior is getting removed once i get the car too, some crazy jap mustve had left over paint after he sprayed the car.
Engine bay just looks like any old 1UZ-FE engine bay, its got a big old V8 in there with a couple stickers on it and a whole lot of wires and tubes and shit.

screw black!
every other celsior ouut there is black
you need a nice deep pimpin metalllic purple
with a green sparkle or a green pearl
That is what you need.
I saw that one on j-spec. You are right, the interior NEEDS to be repainted.
IVE GOT IT!
paint the damn thing woodgrain!!!
person1: wow, what a good idea!
person2: that would look hot
person3: i agree that would look amazing
person4: im sure all the bizarches would wet their panties over that!
you get the idea.
seriously though
woodgrain is the shizzle
then you could match the interior and it would look awesome.

Yeh, im with Dr_Love, but not down for the woodgrain idea

not down with woodgrain?
what's wrong with it? Nobody else has it. You could get a shop to sponsor your car and get the job done cheaper, because it would get very noticed and would display the shops talents.
You can get gold (as in chrome style - shiny as hell) paint these days. I think chrome spray jobs are unregisterable, but you might get away with the coloured chromes, because they arent as obvious.
My gf reckons pearl white. - im not a fan, but she likes.
She also thinks you need new wheels and to change the front grille to chrome. (Theres just no pleasing women)
"Hi baby, i got a pimp new car"
"You need to change the grille, wheels, paint, interior, etc."
"I like it too, thanks honey".
Seriously though. Woodgrain.

Thanks for the replies guys, I didnt even think about the engine bay being a diff colour 
Soooo, now the question is, where in Brissie should I go to get the job done and what sort of prices should I expect. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could recommend somewhere to get it done.
Cheers.
