Default think i found the right color...

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.

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.

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

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 !!!

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

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?
