Default Which color should I paint my lancer??

Ok im bored and I want to paint my lancer. Something good that goes with gray because the front and rear bumper and side skirtsand the hood are staying the same. Then Im going to paint the stock rims and maybe my drift rims too. Here are some pics not too good since the flash reflected off of it. But hit me up with some colors. Thanks!

Yeah I would have to say Blue and Gray...I think (after much deliberation) that the blue/ gray combo would look best. Are you gonna airbrush it? Or spray paint or hand paint? (just please please please dont say sharpie...lol)

Depends. Walmart should have the Testors beginner airbrush kit. I believe its likr $50 or less. I'm not sure, I've only seen it.

They can get as cheap as $50, which are usually single action bottom feed airbrushes and as expensive as $500 (Iwata Custom Micron series).

The one I have is Iwata's Eclipse HP-CS. I found some at a local store for $230 Canadian, but my gf said that she bought it for $160 only!

I was thinkin more of a blue thats on the blue civic xmod...I put it against my evo...and it looked pretty good. A darker blue would make it look a bit sleeker though...on the other hand too dark would make it bleh.

yeah i totally agree. i think the hard part will be finding something that isnt too shiney or too dull. the color that will look the best will be about the same tone as the stock color if you are going to be using those parts still
