My celica needs a paint job,and I in the near future will be gettting the ereubini body kit. What color do you guys think I should paint it?

Black with dark tint looks the best to me, but keep in mind that black requires alot of care. If you live in a dry dusty area, you will actually see that dust settling on your car right after you just spent an hour cleaning it

We get a lot of pollen at times,but I think It'd be worth it!

I'm going to buy a black MKII supra in the next couple of months... So i suggest Black with tinted windows too. Silver looks good and so does Super White.

I'm not to fond of white. What do you think of gunmetal or electron blue metalic?

I like both of those colors. I like white because i think white sports cars look nice... pure and clean...

I also like the 3 tone paint job... Black botton of the doors, silver sides, and gun metal hood, roof, and hatch. Toyota has made 3rd gen celicas that color stock... it looks really good actually, rather hard to explain though.

I think the darker colors fit the car more. Dont know if I would go for the electron blue though

..Then change out my interior to black or gray..

I've started to paint my interior black w/red accents. Its looking pretty sweet, I'd show you but I need to buy a good digital camera first. Any suggestions on what I should get? Its gotta be on the cheaper side ~$150 tops I guess, and still have good picture quality, unlike the one I used to take some pictures of my car...

How would you go about having carbon fiber door panels(on the inside of couse)?What do you use to "paint" the inside?

83CelWA · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 11, 2003, 11:31:01 pm »

I don't know about paining the inside. I am just going to take the time and the little bit of money and change out what I can in the interior from some other celi that I find with a decent interior (the junkyard near me sells most of the interior paneling for about 2.50 a foot or yard, dpending on who you are dealing with).

They sell spray paint made specifically for car interiors. Take each peice off and paint them one by one, just make sure you get a good brand and do plenty of coats. As for carbon fiber, I don't know what you'd have to do for that, its custom work.
