i really don't care to post it on the paint and body cuz i hardly go there so i just wanted to pass the info on the final color decision for my s2k.

i'm thinking of going with the Corvette ZR1's Cyber Metalic Gray color. Heres a link to some pics; http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-...te-z06/861390/


i really like this color. i gotta go to the paint store next weekend and see about pricing out materials. i'm shooting for a spring paintjob, but i'll start working on the car as soon as the house work slows down.

i'll take pics of the project as i go along, now i gotta find me some wheels...

Why not Dolphin Grey Metallic? Its dark, but when the sun hits it, it lightens up yet still keeps its dark color.

Here's my S4 in that color.

joey1320

hummm i'll have to see it in person to decide if i like it anymore than the zr1's. i have seen the zr1 in person and the color looks awesome. but thanks for the input.

marty

Don't get me wrong, I love the ZR1's color. I haven't seen it in person but it looks a bit brownish in some shots of the pics shown.

joey1320

yeah those were the best pics i could find and i still thinkthey don't do it justice. the color looks great in person. it has a "chromish" look when the sun hits it at the right angle.

i'll look into your recommendation but i'm leaning towards the zr1's

marty

Either color would look smashing on a S2000 tbh. Rawr !

joey1320

yeah i think so. i want a darker color than my silverstone but i don't want black or anything like that. i think either gray will look awesome too... can't wait till i start working on it, just too much **** to do on my new house

marty

I was in the dilemma too when picking a new color. I have had 8 silver/grey cars in the last year and it was getting tiring...

The S2000 was sebring silver, but not for long !!!

joey1320

sorry for not being in the know, but what color is/was your s2k???

marty

My S2000 is still half sebring silver now. I got lazy priming it, but it hasn't moved in the shop since I bought it back in october so im not driving it around like a ghetto civic. Im repainting it in the coming weeks hopefully.

oh nice. mines park for the winter so i'll have enough time to prep. i'll do the prep along with my older brother and then him and my pops will spray it. he went to school for that and my dad has been painting cars for 30+ years.

so as soon as i have some free time, i'll move it to my twins garage(****** got a 6 car garage) and work on it there. just waiting on him to get his mess out of the way. lol

marty

I wish I had a 6 car garage.. holy crap ! I will post pictures of my crap box when its done. Im sure it has been done before though.

I like them both...

Basskika

Like both colours and think they would both look great

joey1320

thank guys!

2poor2mod

are you pulling the engine and painting the engine bay as well?

Black LeX

Does anyone have the picture of the JDM s2k, the Monte carlo blue one? I would def. go w/ that one if I were to repaint the S!

joey1320

not sure yet... i'm leaning towards it tho

2poor2mod

just curious cause i want to do a full repaint/color change but was looking for ways people were doing it without pulling the engine

White Smoke

The Cyber Metalic Gray color is very slick. I think it will look great!

Google...

yeah a coworker has one of those audis on the pic and i think the corvette color looks better imo.
so saturday i'll stop by the paint store and price out materials.

mikesta21

Whether you go with the zr1 color, or that dolphin gray on that s4, I don't think you can lose! you guys have good taste :thumb up:

how i hate my sebring silver.... lol

HondaKyle

I love my silverstone!

joey1320

lol thanks man
well the only reason i'm painting it, is due to some dent in the quarter panels... if it wasn't for that i would keep as is. but why just fix the quarters and keep the old paint on the rest of the car right?
