I've really been debating on paint my tC. I find myself going back & forth with Flat Black or Super White. What do you guys & gals think?

Don't do super White. It's a stock color. If you are going to repaint the car have fun with it. Personally, if you think you want white, I'd go pearl. Just kinda off-white with pearl in the clears.

I like the flat black idea, but that's me. I've always wanted to do a flat black on my car.

Yeah me too! I had a 94 Civic that I murder out when I was in high school & always loved flat black. I think I'm leaning more towards white this time around. Thanks for your input.

That does sound pretty bad ass! But I'm getting a pretty good deal for one solid color. Other wise I would. lol

I still like that one silver/ blue tc here on the island. I still can't seem to ever track them down. Normally I am passing them on the road and I don't want to follow them. But go Red, with your black rims, red would look good and there aint to many red tC's. Or Orange too. Yes I like bright colors, lol.

Depends... Are you making a show car, or a nice looking car for yourself? Flat colors don't count as a "custom" paint job at bigger car shows. My opinion, if you're going to spend the money on paint, go wild! :up:

Oh this will be just for me. lol I don't know much about show cars. This is why I came to y'all for help. Like I said before, I like bright colors too, I can't make up my mind. I still have plenty of time to think it over cause I don't plan on getting it done until I get back from my trip.

yea do something that nobody has, lol and something that fits you and the theme you going for .. i know around here it being truck or car i see a good bit of flat black and super white .. to me after bunch people get it, it gets old after while but if you have something different nobody has then it is always a eye catcher .. they have a lot of people on here that is good with paint programs maybe somebody could throw couple good idea's out there for you .. i am in the same boat with you though on deciding on what type of custom paint job i want to go with

Out of those two colors I'd go with white with a pearl coat. Green with flat black stencils would be pretty kick though!

Neither white or black are colors to start off.. If you want to do paint, definately pick a real COLOR.. Check out some other cars that you like and see what factory colors they come in.. I know that some of the Lexus colors look pretty tight...

I like the dark brown of the Toyota Venza and Avalon. Not sure how it would look on a tC though.

White is every color combined.

However white is my choice with flat-blackcents.

Make sure to get it done right though, not a maaco $200 job. Remember, paint is in the prep work.

i love the interwebz... "i cant decide between white or black" ... "get pink!!!" flat black is not a normal paint job and not something a normal painter can do... if your getting a deal on the paint job, the deal prolly doesnt include flat colors, or the painters skills cant do the job. get super white, flat black is getting played out these days and unless your going to do some wild bright color accents on it flat black on a tC just wouldnt look all that good.

Thanks. At this point flat black is "out the window." I don't want to do anything crazy tho. Looking for a nice simple color that will catch eye's. I have a lot of thinking & searching to do. Once again thanks for your input, It helps.

You're thinking about painting your tC too? The color of your car now is pretty dope. What are you thinking about doing?

not sure man .. i want to leave the bottom part under the line the car color then above the line we have want to do something, but i have no idea .. and 1 good thing is that they don't have many of those colors around here .. and people actually ask if that is a custom paint job cause you don't see them much especially at car shows, lol

First glance at the poll I thought you were voting between flat black tc or white supra, then I'd def say Supra haha. Anyway, not a fan of flat black paint on any cars.

I told him Orange or bright red. You need something that stands out here. There are way to many tC's here. An unusual color will stand out here. I like the orange in the tC at the top of the page.

i think a 350z copper/orange would look pretty hot on a tC....

Or a nice deep red with some metal flake, layer of gold flake on the bottom. It looks amazing on anything if its done right.

grabber orange or grabber blue. Those colors are amazing! I have seen a red tc floating around here and I love that color too. Makes me wish I had waited to find the perfect color tC for me
