    Trying to decide on a color




    What color is this? Its looks like orient blue metallic to me. Can anyone confirm?

    Im getting my car painted soon, and trying to decide on a color. I want to go with either a blue or green. Suggestions welcome.

    Thanks

    I tend to advise going with original color - unless you've got (or are going to) the body stripped completely down with drivetrain and windows out. It's just a WHOLE lot more work to properly change full color.

    What color is the car currently?

      I can see windows, but the purpose of the drivetrain being out??

      *EDIT*

      I read drivetrain and saw driveline! My mistake!

      OP - he's right. Properly changing the color is a real pain. My car was resprayed in a white that's not quite Alpine II by the PO and you can see the differences in door jams, engine bay, etc...

        the guy who had it before me had it sprayed with black primer.

        When i get it repainted, everything is going to be repainted except the engine bay.
