car is getting a respray tomorrow morning and the painters have given me some crazy ideas,
they suggested going two tone, by spraying the upper half of the car gloss black, which is everything above the edge that runs down the entire side of the car, just above the door handles. in theory its sounds good, and unique but im worried i wont like it, they also suggested GT stripes up the centre of the car, what do you guys think? i put a post in the Photoshop section. ive got a VRX bar and letterbox grill which is also going on, im leaning on just doing the respray, cant go wrong

two tone will look hot black on top and red bottom

i reckon paint it all one colour
but pick a colour that you dont see often to make it stand out :)

Totally agree on this, 2 tone would look doddski, one unique colour and youve got a winner.

whole car gloss black with a pearl (not green, otherwise it may as well be sable!)

black >>>> ur stock colour

was going to keep the metalic green, so i dont have to get inside or sills and doors and engine bay re sprayed, still dont know about the black over the green

Black bottom , red top would look hot.

i was thinking like this: (new pic added to original post)

I added a pic of red/blackgreen into the photoshop thread.

candy red fo sho! if you got the cash

Go a solid color but something bold... like orange.. or cobalt blue..

+1 for the candy apple red

or maybe even WRX mica blue.
both would be different and stand out for sure.


but keep it all one colour

I rekon stay with the metallic green respray but go some matte black or white stripes, but not GT stripes, something more similar to the VE SS stripes (the only things i like visually about the VE :P) Like these ones; http://farm1.dealernet.com.au/stock/928F39E8A78347B49417192CD0B34220?c=80326

Also how much is it settin u back just for the respray in the metallic green?

yeah i was thinking on the SS stripes, nice, the respray im not sure on the cost, getting it at mates rates so i will have too see after i get it done, mind u i did a lot of work, pulling the car apart, to keep their work load down.

actually the VE SS stripes could suit ur car. maybe photoshop them quick to see

harlequin/color change paint!! do it!

purple -> blue -> green

two tone will look hot black on top and red bottom

I'm a shocking photoshoper, but what the hell :P

iam def a fan of that two tone that would look shmick and be a one of a kind on a magna!!:D

Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes

i'm gonna say yes to 2-tone :D

especially seeing its a respray, not a vinyl overlay.

magna's have a very distinct line that can be followed down the side of the car, maybe add a pinstripe to separate the 2 colours too?

i did this photoshop a while ago for andrewd

+1 for mitchellO's black n red two tone

i decided goin two tone with my stock metallic green for the lower part, as i love the green, and then i dont need to paint inside the door sils and engine bay. and gloss jet black for the top, with a pinstripe to seperate the the two, colours, now i need to decide on either green, letterbox grill and green eyelids, or all black

my opinion, i say black, make it look meaner. :cool:

Something like this would look hot

This is a really smart idea and something totally different. I think the gloss black on green is way more sophisticated (Bugatti Veyron style) than the in ya face red/black idea. But definitely no stripes, that would totally bugger the clean , shap look you will get. I do think a stripe to separate the colours, but no sure what colour - probably a darker shade of the green.

needs parras, clear side indicators, and more chrome :cool:

seen a r32 4 door skyline with a similar paint job running around my area
normally see it everyday on the way to work
looks **** hot with the body kit and rims, it also sits really low

definitely this one.
without a doubt!

hmmm.... I'd like the look of that paint that slightly changes colour from a different angle!

So you have the two tone paint job, when are you posting it up in here for us to see? :P

i changed the jet black, to metalic pearl plack, which at certain angles in the sun you can see dark green in it. it is off the TJ veradas, with a bright silver pinstripe to devide the colours, its been painted, and im waiting on the trimmings to be done, when i put my car back together ill post some pics hopefully ill have it all done by sunday

PICS please

Just noticed this car in the Post lots-of-magna-pics thread...

Looks sweet from the rear...

:thumbsup: from me! :D

yeah thats her finished, well allmost all i need is parras, and im getting them on thursday, so once they are in i will post up in members machines

"metalic pearl black, which at certain angles in the sun you can see dark green in it. it is off the TJ veradas"

Anyone know the paint colour code or whatever to get this exact shade?

I replaced my front grille with a black one from a TJ, and it has that awesome green fleck effect. It's perfect for my TF, which is the deep green that looks almost black in the shade.

Now, I need to replace my front bumper bar, and I'm thinking the same colour might be worth considering ('cos it'll match the grille).

threadmine much??

its YA and its called sable black
nice threadmine btw
:)

+1 for the candy apple red...

Thanks heaps Shayne :)

Takes a Dark Knight to understand black properly.

Rory, you think red up front? I guess it would go well with the green. Maybe...

http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/album.php?albumid=229&pictureid=1230

Red is a bit more "pow" but maybe a touch front-heavy?

The sable black with a bit of red airbrushing could be cool - flames or similar?

Sable Black is the best colour IMO. Love the green tinge in intense light

Same :)

Ordered my TJ grille and expected pure black, then discovered the green highlights - such a great match for the overall green paint job.

Of course, I could go all out and get a black/green chameleon special effects job...

howmuch did this paintjob cost? did the 2 tone cost more? or was it the same cost?

it cost me less than a normal respray, cuz it was mates rates. a ball park figure would be over $8000 for the full cost, as the car had to be marsked up and painted 3 times. the code as stated is YA
but it has also been known as X48.
by far the best threadmine :thumbsup:
