Right supra fanatics, now I seem to be on the right direction things have changed dramatically for my car, my main aim is to WIN trophies and front page magazine features. This is a major decision in choosing the right colour for my car, I have decided my kit is staying considering this is exactly how I love my dream supra! So the kit will be fitted to very high standard there's no issues in regards to poor fitment plus I'm going back to stock mirrors:eyebrows:, the only issue I now have is deciding on a colour!

 

I ideally had Rosso red in mind but my mind has changed, I know new based colours tend to fade less but considering this is a long term life car I do not want any part turning pink over time as I still seem to be seeing new cars even with base coat fading!

 

I will be painting the trial rear diffuser and front middle do luck section a different colour as what I have done when the car was black. If I agree black than I will not use Ford panther mica black again as I seen other nice colours like Cosmos BMW metalic black.

 

Anyways I will leave these pictures here my wheels will remain center black, so give me ideas on a nice good colour if I should stay black etc.

 

Any pictures would help please :innocent:.

Ford deep impact blue for me. It's a stunning colour in all lights, and changes with the varying light. Reminds me very much of the paint on the Escort Cosworth from the 90s.

 

Obviously no Supra pics as no-one has done it yet, but here it is on a 500.

Colour is really difficult and very personal

 

I am liking the Renault Metallic Red on a lot of new Clio's at the minute, think it maybe called Flame Red, it has an Orange tint where the sun hits it

 

If it is a show colour you are after, it needs to stand out

I reckon you'll have to go for quite a dark colour with it being kitted, especially as you want to keep the black centres on your wheels.

 

I do like black but need to find the best metallic colour to suit the car, I'm going on Wednesday to see my friends Cosmos BMW middle shade colour.

Last week I had confirmed 90% I wanted Rosso red with black combination, after making few long journey's I had totally swayed my mind away from red(Pink).

 

Regardless if it is not a bright colour I am confident in the direction the car is going I will catch eyes at shows no doubt, but it's finding that right colour.

I'd look through some of the supercar manufacturers paint list. Lambo Ferrari always have some nice colours

 

I have been looking at super cars on YouTube, such a hard choice as Red is nice but eventually turns pink!

I think you should either stick with the red/black theme you had in mind or something similar to the LFA in blue that was posted earlier. Either colour would look fantastic and red won't won't fade if you keep it waxed, it's just people that park them out in the sun all day and don't give a shit about the car when it fades.
