Ive still always LOVED Atlanctic tho! But for a non stock SQ color theres a Risky Devil 240sx In Rootbeer brown with flake in it and its amazing!

there was a quest at PF very close to this color. i believe it was a cadi color but it was a awsome color on a quest for sure, it was unique and i am all for that. it wasnt a guady color but more of a classy color and i think thats why it looked good.

 

it also had gold badging on it with i thought was nice touch, it would be awsome if they had the wheels chromed then the centers of the wheels gold plated. but that would probably be a $3000 set of stock wheels. :lol:

A really nice and deep burgundy does exude sophistication and elegance, though.

 

Make your own mix of Durban or that Bimmer color and add some pimpin' to the clear.

 

Some gold ice in the clear and then some sick BBS w/gold centers

this was the car i was talking about. i am gonna say the pics dont do the color justice at all. being around bodywork and paint all the time it takes one to really look nice for it to get my attention. the color was very very tasteful on this car.

ya i knowww fiji is GORGEOUS! but it really wont set me apart...i mean if u pass one "oh there goes a fiji" but if i go something else that looks good your going to be like "what the..." lol

 

and my brothers was cadillac pearl white...he sold it to some kid on here...i forgot his name but i havent seen him in years. pearlquest or something.

 

i would do a house of kolors but...it sucks to paint if u ask me.

 

 

 

in all honesty, im going to keep it fiji...probably 3 coats of color and 4 coats of clear im guessing. and i may paint the engine bay black, add some depth, hide dirt when its older lol.

If you wanna set it apart, get some small pieces of metal and try some pearl variations over fiji base. a little silver pearl or blue pearl in the clear might make it look way different, but it would still be our beloved fiji. :wub:

honestly you should build your car first, considering what you plan on doing, and knowing what I've already done. Once its built, tear it down then paint, then reassemble.

 

Trust me.

Go with my color. Dodge Viper GTS Blue. Gotta see this color in person. At night, say under some parking lot lights. The car glows.

 

Not mine, gotta get mine repainted too. It's been in 2 accidents since it was repainted. It's been fixed, ready for paint but now it looks like, well, I still love her but dang she's ugly right now.
