I'm respraying my s2k what colour

[Djbinh]

Hi guys

Just need help in a new colour for my s2k atm its an black s2k with full red interior inside.......

the respray is not costing me much at all just dont know what colour any ideas

[IEVAQ8]

whats wrong with black????

[Djbinh]

i like it at the start..... but im getting over it now seen alot on the road...

[IEVAQ8]

fair enough...............personal opinion..........i'd love a black s2k........apart from having to wash it every second day to keep clean................its a big change.....but paint it white.........

[lenz]

oddessey purple

[ludecrs]

Sky blue looks fantastic.

Can't find a picture however.

[Djbinh]

i really want white at a stage or i was thinkin candy apple red

[markoJEK1]

In my opinion dont respray your car to a colour that already comes on the s2k, you have unlimited choices to change it to something different, not something that makes it look standard

[F20C]

a friends friend has a pearl red with some air brushing on it, looks quite good but if your in melb dont bother lol i dont think you want two strolling around.

[VTi_b0i]

candy apple red is awsome, but abit too showy... id LOVE to paint an s2000, the new MAZDA red one day... i dont know the exact colour... but its on the RX8s and mazda 3's ive seen. i think its called Velocity Red Mica... or even Copper Red Mica. which is the sp23 colour... delicious! :D

[rayb3na_]

velocity red pearl or something

[Riviera]

velocity red pearl or something


agreed

red pearl not candy apple... unless show is what your after

or go white CW
i dont think ive seen a S2k in CW....

[burak213]

blaze orange metallic :P

[aramiK]

Championship white...

doesn't get much sexier than that.

[i-vtec]

Lexus Pearl white

[aowwllan]

[CONAN]

[Djbinh]

[Djbinh]

i got that interior

[aramiK]

Is it a show car, or you more into the jdm look?

Might make the color easier to choose..

If you want a car like the one above ^ go for the house of kandy stuff if not.. go for something clean.

[Djbinh]

this was my plan at the start

18 inch rim white with red walls
carbon fibre oem front lip and a rear J's diffuser
and leave the car as black

i got everything besides the rear J's Racing diffuser

[JasonGilholme]

white.

but im biased :p

[NVD52K]

is this going to be a full respray or only door jams and out side of the body, because black engine bay will pass for nearly any colour since its just a flat colour. i was thinking maybe a white with pearl blue at the end of the day its your car do you car to what you like not what everyone else thinks. do you have any side on pics. also i reckon you should upgrade your front bar to ap2 makes it more modern

[phil3842]

why not just put a flaked clear coat over the black

[martin]

i got a white s2000 and in getin it repainted s15 white u should do that

[vyets]

Lexus IS250 White is best!

[JasonGilholme]

i'm not a fan of those pearl whites.

Or any pearl colours for that matter.

Championship white is hot.

[ludecrs]

matt black on a stock S2000 looks shithouse.

[FASN8U]

[STAiN MASTER]

[OMG.JAI xD]

do something different. since you said you seen too many black s2ks around.
you dont see a cream one everyday.

What's the Honda colour? Moon rock or something.

[Type R Positive]

Or here's another alternative.... and its Honda OEM too.... its the purple from the NSX.Yeah, that looks the same as that BMW Techno Violet I suggested. But this colour is better, as it is OEM Honda FTW! :p

[STAiN MASTER]

Purple paint with CF parts and black wheels DROOOLLSSSSS!!!

[ludecrs]

^^

Why have mis-matching body panels for the sake of showing off carbon?

[JDMWhore]

Championship White with a CF hard top would be fkn sweet!
but you need the $$$ for that =]
anyways hope you find a color you like

[tiksie]

candy red + red leather is pure sex

This is what NOT to do to your car. Leb-tastic.


IMHO, I would go Impulse Blue with a few tinters to customise to your own taste.

what wrong with candy apple red and the red interior?
looks sexy.

i would go candy apple red or a midnight purple colour!


yuck, good way to make an expensive car look cheap and nasty

s2k car expensive? then what you call a evo 9? GTR r34, Holden Statesman, golf r32 etc etc.

still i do agree matte black doesnt look nice on a s2k.

[Crapdaz]

ruby red w/ cf hood/boot

[FASN8U]

dont no what you got against candy red and red leather , maybe just another one eyed jdm fan.

[STAiN MASTER]

Red interior and candy apple red is disgusting, i know this because i work with paint ;) i like the colour, just not with red interior.

I still don't understand why he has the tow hook attached, it obviously isn't made for the track or street, i think maybe he is over taking it off and on because the only outdoor activities it participates in is going up and down a tow truck from car show to car show.

[FASN8U]

because you work with paint dosent make ur opinion on peoples taste in colours correct.
and so what if he only uses it as a show car? some people would rather the carshows / magazine shoots etc than race there cars on track , thers nothing wrong with either . cars are a passion to many ofcourse there going to be built for different purposes

My opinion's are very valid because i run a successful business because of my opinions, that's why people come to me for advise on colour.

Well of course cars are a passion to many and they're going to be built for different purposes but it still dosen't justify from an artistic point of view which one would be looking at for this particular "show car" that the red still interior doesn't blend well with the exterior colour.

congrats:thumbsup: i see ur point im not saying you dont no ur stuff, but if its been done someone out there must like it!

[F20C]

coke red =) lol. i was thinking of spraying mine coke red but decided to stick with my plain old yellow lol.

[NVD52K]

i dont mind the candy and red interior it kinda goes with the flow, everyone has there cup of tea i guess. for example stain master you might like one of these two examples ? remember house of kolor paints arent easy to paint especially marbling etc. thats why people appreciate the time and effort on the work. although people come to you for advice on paint colour its really up to the person on what they want on there car.

sorry to be a little off-topic, i'm new to the forum and i'm looking at getting a s2k in the near future. I've done a bit a research but i can't find out the colour that are available for every model year.

basically i'm trying to find out if white was available for every model year and if it differed from year to year?

cheers

[chunky]

Only one white - Grand Prix White. Championship white was never an option.
