A Major Decision Has Been Made - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #21614 42 posts Started by Supersprynt
After much deliberation, scolding by some, frustration, guilt and finally relief, I've decided on a color. Well actually, I've decided again on a color. Awhile ago I had decided on a color which I felt was the greatest color ever. Nogaro Blue. And then some painted their cars versions of blue. Pieters car ultimately made me change my mind on the color, because his car is basically exactly like mine and having 2 cars so very much the same bothered me, I didnt wanna step on the toes of creativity. So the search began for another color, and I found Graphite Grey Metallic. A great color. But I found many variants of graphite grey, and everyday many cars of the graphite nature, and also, the nagging feeling that my heart wasnt in Graphite Grey Metallic.

So after scolding from friends, much deep, inner though, I cannot bring myself to settle. I shall go Nogaro (funding willing). I think this path was way to hard to reach, many may not understand, some, maybe all to well.

My buddie has an s-4 with that color, its hot, but then he sold it and got an a4 with darker blue, even hotter. Id say go for a darker blue, i think latinos is to bright/poastel.

Im also thinking about painting my car, when i get funds a graphite gray, im thinking more along the line of the lexus is-300 color, or maybe just stick with a black peral or somthing.
I300 was the color I changed to, but theres just something bout Nogaro. I gotta do it, or at least try.

yo actually the colors are not the same the audi is darker ive parked next to one
Yeah thats why I picked Nogaro. Theres no colors that really look like it. It was this color or Laguna Seca, and LS is a lil to light for me.

Super, that was the most boring story.

Ever.

>wink.gif> good luck with the color
Yeah I know I know, but could you feel the inner turmoil?

I think maybe with the addition of a car chase, a murder, and a hot woman it'll make for a good TV movie.

dude Eric I dunno what you are fussing about. rsp is way darker in person, people tell me my car is purple. besides even if we had the same color you would still be unique so don't even sweat it >wink.gif>
I know its not the same color, its just the fact that you and I both have the TRD wing and front extensions. Thats all.

BTW: its Erik (with a K) >wink.gif>

I wonder what Phat99's color is like.

I wanna say Spectra Blue Mica but I dont think it is. Looks more like a pearl.

I dunno on that last one Doug...That girl is pretty good looking though >wink.gif>.
Those pants are um...Tight heh...

And Supersprynt, I completely understand your color situation. Its a hard choice, especially if you want to stand out from cars of the same with many similarities. Me, I love black (although its a pain in the a$$ to keep clean) and I can tell you how many Black Celicas with an invader kit I have seen but I still love the color so I think I am going to Go With A Metallic Black Pearl (Maybe a Red Peal on Black base coat?-Gotta think about that one).

Armed? Armed with what?Oh I dunno, colorful language, bad breath, a feather duster...Whatta you think theyre armed with guns you tit!
Damn and i was going to paint my car DeepSea Cristal Blue.... wich is basically the same color.....

i can't wait to see her when you finally get her painted!! f*ckin exciting. w00t

former celica owner.
personally, and from experence, non-metallic colors, especially bright ones, show scratches like mad (like swirl marks and car wash marks)... That Norago blue screams out to me that it will be the same, even if it is pearl coat, if im not mistaken... the color IS hott, but that alone would make me think twice...

Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driverCar #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03
that lil emblem probably says TRD or maybe it has the old celica dragon?

edit: u know im not really shure... but i think that first photo but i think it was more of the girl then the car.

Yeah my thing was always what hasnt been done and blue became very popular within a few months and so for awhile I didnt want to. Now I see that its the color that the car should be.

If you mean like a drive through car wash, you can forget that. I've brought my truck through one once and then thats its. I never bring them in there. I am not going to worry about how it shows scratches and what not, I'm going to be very meticulous with the paint. It'll always have wax on it, and it'll always be clean.
