[stetsonaw]

black... unless you want to be a cop magnet.

[pandakid]

i say black

[manphibian]

black... unless you want to be a cop magnet.

red.... unless you want to be a dirt magnet

[cHinaman727]

red w/ black racing stripes

....if you want to be different!

[zero07]

Red with black spots like a lady bug.. so your car can fly j/k I say red!

[spolski07]

RED FTW!

[Sinyk]

Red

[GriffGirl]

black shows every speck of dust and scratch but looks best

red looks good too, do it a custom red like fire engine red or something?

[Jeunesse]

Black (goes well with other rims colors)... but if you have any other color choice, I'll say go with Blue

[6gcboost]

Thing is that look at my interior, its red & Black :S

[pepsiman]

Black water spots like crazy. i know red does too but black shows it real bad.

[808celica]

black with red pearl paint job

[bccentaur3]

Red FTW. Red is sexy. When I see a red celica the LADY IN RED song plays in my head. LOL.

[j0e_p3t]

i say black cuz its sublte yet sexy. but don't let us decide and you end up regretting it. its your car, your decision.

[GotToyota]

Red.

Black is clean for the 1st ten seconds then it's done for.

[CelicaST_CALI]

Give me better pics!!!!

[Lovo]

red... that way you can pull out all those parts in your car and have who ever you get to paint your car to spray your parts at the same time... that will look amazing.

or do the same thing with black... that would be even more good looking in my opinion.

anyways, the people above me are right... its your car, you decide!

[95CelicaST]

I say a real dark Candy Apple Red.

[Akira_g4]

what? no white option??? lol i'd say go black, looks sleek!

[stetsonaw]

you should totally flip a coin

[C3L1CA]

I think a 2 tone would look pretty sick. Black pearl on the top then a dark red candy on the bottom.

[HaiiSon]

I think a 2 tone would look pretty sick. Black pearl on the top then a dark red candy on the bottom.

I think black as base and then dark red candy pearl on top
But if it was my car i would prob go Dark blue as base and metallic purple on top, it looks lik black at night
Thats just what i like, ut its your car so your decision.
I would ask somone that has seen heaps of different paintjobs on diff cars and see what he would suggest for your car

[6gcboost]

Now that u guys have mentioned it, I think a two tone wouldnt look so bad either...

[GriffGirl]

aw hell, paint it vomit green that way you'll be really unique LOL

[Valo666]

black... unless you want to be a cop magnet.

red.... unless you want to be a dirt magnet

yea...red hides dirt really well, my car hasnt been washed in a month, but is still shiny. But yea, go with red, but a nicer red then the original toyota red. Like my car is Honda Milano red. Just if you do get it painted another colour, get them to make you some extra paint in like an areosaul or a scratch stick cuz if you get any nicks or scratches in your paint, its hard to match reds.

EDIT: and as for being a cop magnet, ive never once been pulled over just because my car was red. Ive been pulled over for speeding and excessive exhaust noise, but not because my car was red..lol

i think there shud be no questions asked. Black all the way. Or a very dark burgendy red. But if u pain it black i personaly love the black rims as well.

[HaRv3sTeR]

how about this kind of red?




or this?

i was refering to that second pic....i love that brightness....so sexy

[dabazied]

I personally like the color red on my car, looks great n shines during the day and looks a little darker @ night. I think it would look pretty good with your interior too. But i'm just a little biased I guess lol

*added next part/link*

Or this color of red http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=50722 This one is really hot I think

REALLY?!?
That´s horrible man! I really feel sorry!



Anyway, BOT, mine was black, so it stayed black after painting. My other options were to go Silver or White...but I gave them colors up and took a "Midnight Black Pearl", and with my 18" Passions I couldn´t have gone wrong.
If it was red...hunh...idunno.

[Rusty]

and..lol took me 30sec on photoshop (I'm new to the software )

Well, there are many ways to determine the color to paint. One, for what purposes to standout, color scheme matching, hide car flaws, other parts that determine the car color, body work is awful, etc. In general red or black are good choices. For me, I would pick red to look sporty as this color is friendly in matching rims especially. Black, also, is great too as it looks wicked yet clean depending on the body work. Now, it can get technical if color decision is also based on other factors such as, my friend already has that color, it gets dirtier faster than other colors, or I am planning on getting certain rims, or my interior is already a certain color. The bottom line for me, is what color is simple yet stylish, colormatch-friendly, custom paint is not maintenance friendly unless you have extra for touchups, and last, if I won't get tired of it fast. Sorry I most likely confused you even more.

[Kadett]

Black and Red together, you decide

[Remy]

This is coming from a guy with a red celi I say get black red stands out to much (unless thats what you like) black is more of a sleeper look to it (what I like) but black cars have a higher chance of getting hit at night and red cars have a higher chance of getting pulled over by the cops. Its bad both ways lol
