Keep it white. You can't beat it as a colour on the VR4's.

Or dark metallic red similar to a Honda Accord with a jet black roof and pillars (with a dark tint, fuck yeah,) maybe an airbrushed section to divide the black from red on the rear quarter?

Leave it RS white as its tough enough any tougher and it probably would look rice, save what you were going to spend on the paint job and take your self on a holiday to Japan or States and get some idea's on making it really tougher than it is.... paint and engine wise!

Apart from the fact it wont increase in value at all painting it any other colour than factory maybe a pearl if anything love how pearl white seems to glow :twisted:

[tUfRiCe]

ite pearls are ugly they make the white look dirty it usually looks creamyb yuck candy apple/ black top all the way

Black looks good but is a total bitch to keep looking clean

[tUfRiCe]

Believe me, I thought before I bought my VR4 that black is fucking awesome, easily the best 'colour' BUT after owning this I will never ever have a black car again. So much time, money and effort go into making it look presentable then 3 days later it looks like ass.

I say keep it white. Get some nice 17-18" white rims and leave it at that. Remember the more eye catching the colour the more attention you'll get from cops. I'm sure thats the LAST thing you want.

I agree, I'm not a fan of pearl white

Citroen sapphire blue Had my torana painted that colour, it's a really dark blue, in low light it's black, normal light it's dark blue and in bright/direct sunlight it looks purple.

Never seen a citroen that colour either, I got it out of a 2 pack paint book my local paint place had. Also don't forget the black highlights (boot/pillars) if you respray it, in my opinion nothing ruins the lines of these cars more than painting it one solid colour.

Here we go!















^Looking at that again I'm seriously thinking about doing it to mine, but I've already done my engine bay white.......
I wouldn't use that red though whatever it is. New Honda Accord metallic red fo' sure. Needs darker tint too. 35% on the front, 5% on the rear I reckon.


I know an awesome airbrush artist too if you do decide on getting something done. I took lessons for a while, but I think you'd be better off getting her to do it.

Vote no on the black bonnet and bootlid!



A candy red isn't a bad idea though. PPG have some absolutely amazing custom colours out nowadays.
