Respraying legnum

[jaygore]

Hey guys im just looking for a few oppinions, iv seen alot of the normal coloured legnums on here some rare and some not so rare...

I found out the other day that a guy i know now has his own business in panel beating and can even do airbrushing(not that i would)

But my car is going to be getting fixed so what i was thinking was maybe respraying it not long after this when i can get some more money together...

I spose im after some oppinions on what colour you think would suite the Legnums, as an aftermarket colour, nothing toooo out there though..or is it best to stay the stock colours?

throw me some ideas

 

[godzilla]

It will come down to personal preference but i am a sucker for colours like MY99 WRX Blue, GTR Bayside Blue. Also you just cant beat a really nice silver i.e Mercedes style etc

 

[jaygore]

yea i didnt think of an awesome blue like those, i love the wrx blue and a nice dark siler would do down a treat, im just hopeless with colours hahaha, and i also think that with the shape and stlye of the legnum you really cant have anything to out there

 

[jaygore]

just found this evo V and i really like the colour,

what do you guys think

I'd really like to see a Holden Ute green or purple.
Not!
Actually my 93 GTS-T skyline was a awesome black with coloured flecks in it. I'd love to see how that colour would go on the Legnum or Galant.

 

[jaygore]

yea that was one of the things i was just reading about... Just trying to get a different looking colour out there

 

[naughtika]

how about the R34 GTR Purple?!

 

[Madhav]

There was those video games, need for speed, cant remember whether it was carbon or pro street, you can basically paint your car what ever colour u like realtime, good for experimentation.

What u like only u can know?

EDIT: I actually became a fan of matte black from that game, it can look totally awesome with the right rims, it can also look like primer if done cheaply...

 

[Guest]

it really depends on what you can afford to do,

if you going with a low cost job (closed door job)
id go with the stock colour or something similar, as the engine bay/door jams will still be stock,

if you going all out, and getting a full proper paint job, ive always liked a nice blue metallic or pearl,
or even gun metal,

 

[jaygore]

yea well i would want to go all out if i was to get it done... And i am seriously considering a nice dark blue/metallic blue, something very similar to that...

and that R34 GTR purple is pretty sweet to...

have there been many other considering doing this

 

[Guest]

Gun Metal Gray with a pearl fleck would look good or even the metallic red from the evo x would look good ..... http://www.autosbikes.com/content/uploads/2006/11/evo-x-1.jpg

well my 2c anyway but remember your the one that has to live with it.

I think there would have been more then a few people considering getting resprayed, but no one has actually bit the bullet and got it done. Sartori's (sp?) VR-4 has been resprayed a light blue and it definitely stands out. I would personally go a more down low colour, but it's your car and i wouldn't mind seeing a VR-4 in scrape-your-eyes-out yellow lol.
Anyone know how much laying down new paint costs?

 

[Macca]

Depends on the colour but from memory about $3000 upwards, Can anyone else confirm?

 

[Mac Dog]

I love it!!!

I'm thinking about a respray for my car. Red is fading... and after finding out how much it may cost i'm contemplating a colour change. Very keen on matte black or the "blue" on the new lancer.

 

[bogan bob]

I think id struggle to pick between midnight purple (although the stock purple colour is dam nice) and the wrc blue (but then you might look like a wrx).

I do like the matte black but more so in a drift-pig spec situation

 

[godzilla]

There would be so much involved in painting the car matt finish and pulling it off. For starters the matt finish would make every single dent, ripple & imperfection stand out like dogs...
I reckon you would be up for a good 5k+ for a decent full respray including engine bay...

 

[Mac Dog]

Yeah 5k was a quote for a full respray.

But in all honesty if I just get my red resprayed, then I might just get a closed door job.

 

[Macca]

If your going for the same colour thats all you would need.

 

[bratwurst_boy]

i really like the colours in the mazda 6 line up. i like the radiant ebony and stormy blue.

Or this is the colour on my supra its a factory toyota colour i really like it alot.

 

[bradc]

I like both of those blues. Just a pity that they have overstyled the car too much!
