Default What color paint

I am debating whether to keep my car dark blue or paint it black. Any suggestions?

IMO cars look better in red, black, or white. But since you have blue I'd keep it blue rather than all the probs associated with chaning colors.

Yeah black would deffinatley look better but like cobra said its a hassle to paint and it costs money... so unless you need a respray I would stay blue.

What color interior do you have? Easier to adjust your shade of blue without clashing with your interior. I went from Ultra Blue Metallic to the candy shown.

I will not have any problems because they have to sand it down any ways before they repaint it. the paint job i have on right now is a cheap one and they can't paint over it.

I still have the stock smoke gray interior. I am planning on changing it after I paint the car.

Mine is the same color maybe even a slightly darker blue. As for the macco paint job, I will never do that.I think the one i have on right now is from macco. The guy I bought the car from paid 800 bucks for the paint job and its flaking off. I'm going with a good one that is why they have to sand it down.
