    Arrow Time for a paint job...

    Tomorrow im heading down to see Dave at Corona Collision to get an estimate for a complete paint job. Im stumped on three colors that i want but don't know what to choose. Im partial to Imola Yellow but i also luv Nagaro Blue and Arctic White. What do you guys think?

    Imola Yellow


    Nagaro Blue


    Arctic White

    wish the blue was a bit darker, but i like, may complement your wheels better than the white

    the white though, looks great but i cant see you in it

    as for the yellow, um well, if you want to be different then more power to you bro, im not here to judge

    why all the sudden change in hue for your ride? are you in one of them quarter (or 2/5) life crises?

    I never really saw the point in resparying an entire car a stock color that was available from the factory. From those pictures I really like the white but I can tell that picture has had some photoshop work where the others haven't so it's not a true representation of the color. Maybe use the Sepang Blue Pearl from the A8, that would be pretty hot with a slight darkener

    keep is the same color unless you're going to go all out and paint all the jams and take off all the window and weather striping...otherwise it will look cheeseball and you'll wish you just kept the factory paint.

    How bad is it? You may be able to save it with paint correction. Post up some pictures of your car as is.

    Eurosnap nailed it. Keep the color the same unless you plan to have the entire car stripped and painted correctly as this will drastically effect the resale value.

    Naw, just that my whole front end is sandblasted to hell and i never liked black. I only got it because it was a good deal at the time.

    I just checked out that color and its nice. There is just no other color that i like for the S4. Maybe the burnt orange from the Lambo but i fell that's just too much. The ride is not gonna be for show so i feel that any factory S4 color would do just fine, other than black.

    im not cheap like that... its gonna get done right with the removal of the windshield and rear window

    its really bad, the whole front end almost looks grey becuase of the pitting. Pictures wont show it and i have none right now...

    The S4. The insurance is forking out a good chunk of the money so i figure im gonna pay a little more to get the entire car done.

    ^^ thats actually a really good idea, if u want nogaro or imola you might have to settle for higher miles or something, but trade + cash for a color u <3 might be worth it.

    Yeah I've owned cars of all colors and I can honestly say, the color of my car was never the reason I got a ticket.

    Fix the front end and leave it black or de-mod it and sell it and buy the color you want Rick. Those cars aren't worth much, and unless you wanna dump half what the car is worth to change the color, it will KILL its resale value. Nobody wants a car with color change unless its stripped of its trim, glass, motor and done jambs, doors, engine bay and nobody can tell. I like Black, I think it looks awesome.
