  • Should i repaint my car?

    I'm thinking about repainting my car Daytona Blue, the same blue that comes on the new 350z's! What do you guys think. My car is kinda of a midnight blue now. Let me know what you think!

    no. I think you should leave it the same color.
    I think it's a damn nice color!

      I like the color of the car now, but i love that blue on the Z, it would look pretty slick on a camaro.

        the stock blue in my opinion is nicer. i have a buddy that is on this site with a custom color simular to that and i like the stock color more [img]smile.gif[/img]

          i think it would look better, but not several thousand dollars better. its money better spent elsewhere.

            I would keep it. I was thinking about painting my car your color... not that that should sway you, I just love that damn color!

              I too have been toying with the idea of repainting my car.
              Either a Dark blue (similar to above) or Black.

              Thing is, to do it properly, I'd need to strip the car completely, so that the engine bay etc can be done - so that's kinda putting me off right now.

                Since your car is already blue, you probably could paint that and save some money on areas like the engine bay that are already blue. I wouldn't really go through all that extra hassle with painting the engine bay's costs, but then again, it doesnt bother me that much. I would say it depends how much you really like that color blue. Is your stock paint in bad condition? Is that blue worth the few grand the paintjob will cost? I'd say if you really like the color, go for it. Any maybe find if anyone you know could hook you up with a decent paintjob price to save some cash for it. Otherwise, like the others have said, your car looks good already and you could probably get something else really nice for the car.

                  well what you could do is send someone a better photo of ur car and im sure they could photoshop it with that color and you could see it....i think it would look good...but maybe too bright..the darker blue feeds into our cars more.
                  speed costs money, question is how fast can you afford to go??

                      Honestly I woudl keep it...

                      The blue on the 350Z is nice but its a "flash blue"

                      While NBM is a "Class Blue"
