Black or Red? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #28417 21 posts Started by ToYCeLi8
My car is currently black with a red pearl, but I was thinking about changing it to red with a black pearl. Although most of the black cars look a little better, a sleath/aggressive look to it. At the same time red will attract more attention at the shows. YES that means cops too. But well what do you guys think??

Here is a pic i found... I need to know before I make my final decision. Thanks

I was looking into a metallic or crimson red with a flake.. I thought it would look pretty cool, but not TOO attention grabbing.

Were you going to spray the pearl with the paint, or spray it over the paint? Spraying with the paint will make it a bit darker, and the pearl not very prominent. If you spray it over, it will be verrry shimmery..

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
I prefer red:

A sports car should other be Black or Red. Any choice is fine as long as you can get the right set of rims!!!

I still LOVE that pic. Which is why I really want the red.

Mark - I will be spraying it WITH the pearl. Like i did the black with pearl. And I kinda dont want that shimmery look, but i still have time to decide. Im not completely counting it out.

Candy Apple red is the actual color I want to paint it. Candy Apple Red with Black pearl.

Then my sponsors want 2 put huge decals on my car, which is making kinda feel ricey. But when we agree on a size, what color do u guys recommend? Black? That reflexive silver? White? The decals will be placed on the usual spots, front windshield, on both sides of the car across the doors. Then a few of course going down the side markers of the brands I have on.

Well whatever the 6gc enthusiast see best fit.

Black decals -- less obvious, particularly on a deep red...ricey is all about being obnoxiously obvious, so less obvious, less ricey.

I'd suggest the red over the black -- it's not as difficult to keep it looking incredible, and if it's a deep red, it won't fade into all those other sporty cars.
i like black, a nice dark dark dark black with a highgloss finish to it. Maybe with a red metal flick. Too many red celica's out there, if ur gonna go red, go with a nice colour one like tufy's car

i would also include silver and yellow, but you cant beat red!

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Every Celica is a sports car. ST or GT.

Red and black always stand out of the crowd especially with the shape of our car. Because it refers to Ferrari i guess. The mother of all sports cars.

I'd say white... closer to the true rally car that Celica once was
