I'm sick of having my type-r bumpers sittin in my backyard, so I'm gonna get my car repainted by summers end. Now the question is, what colour? I'm considering just doing black again with like 4 or 5 coats of clear to give it a nice deep shine, and some more hardener so its not as soft as the OEM NHBP. I'm also considering doing a dark gunmetal colour too, darker than Cosmic grey pearl. And third colour that im considering is doing like a midnight purple, similar to the colour the R33/34 skylines come in. Its almost black, but when the light hits it, its deep dark purple.

I also want something thats gonna work well with my wheels, mainly because I dont want to dish out $1100 for a paintjob and then have to dish out another $1100 or more for new wheels to match.

Pic of my car and wheels for reference. When its going to get painted, its going to have Type-r bumpers, skirts and lips.

I like the BMW color but I would go with a dark cosmic gray pearl!

id go with a dark grey, maybe gun metal grey? dark grey is good if your also looking to install a carbon fiber hood, trunk etc.

personaly, I dont like carbon fiber at all. Only way i would install anything carbon fiber onto my car is if i was building a purpose built race car and wanted it for weight reduction, some one gave me something for free, or i found a deal i couldnt pass up (ie a hood for $100 or something)

I'm a fan of the gunmetal color... but at the same time I'm gonna paint mine that same color before winter. I have another car that I painted black and it can be aggrevating how easily it attracts dirt and how often I have to clean it.

That skyline purple you were refering to would look good,plus it hasn't been done on an ep.
