Opinions Needed

Im not certain what colour I want to paint my MX3 next year. yes, i have lots of time to decide but my problem is that everyday, i have a different opinion on each of these colours... So, I figured you guys coould help me out to decide by giving me your opinion. I figure maybe you might see something, or think of something that I havnt thought of yet. Be brutally honest if you must but here we go:

Laguna Seca Blue:



Dakar Yellow:


Or Black with a few extra coats of clear...

Not the first one even if I like a lot because there was just another mx3 in the same region as ours that painted his car just like that....my choice would be a dark red like candy apple red...always liked that colour

Re: Opinions Needed

Yea, I like the grey, but the blue is not like the mx in our region Babyblue... this colour is a lot more of a dark blue, but that was one of the downfalls of that colour in my mind as well. Trust me the last thing I want is for my MX to look like anyone elses, I have my own ideas for it that will differenciate it from the rest.

Now that I think about it though, the blue is kinda close :/ dammit, but I love that colour!!! oh well.

Re: Opinions Needed

One of my favourites is the Dakar Yellow, heres a better pic of it. WHat I like is that it is a creamy yellow and not so "in your face"


The grey looks good too. Its kinda like the MazdaSpeed Protege grey, thats a nice colour, I saw one this morning on my way to work.

Re: Opinions Needed

WEll before you descide what color your going to paint it what is the current color of your car, I have the Tropical emrild Green, I want to get it painted with a blue to green kamelion. if your going to paint your car, if it's not white or grey or black, try to go with a color that fits your current color, and also make sure that all the door jams and such are painted too. if not it looks really cheep @ss.. IMO

Re: Opinions Needed

yeah...don't get yellow. It draws too much attention from the cops. And also, if you look at it for a long time it hurts your eyes. And since your car is going to be sweet, you want people to be able to stare at your car for a long time!!

I like dark colors. I like that grey...but a dark dark blue or green would be tizzight. The other color that would be pimp is a dark maroon!
