[VeYzZii]

Hey fellas,
Im looking to repsray the car at the end of the year and was looking around at some nice colours to go with.. Im open to suggestions, but am really keen on Championship/Grand Prix White, or Bermuda Blue Perl, both of which are stock colours.

Heres some more info i found on the internet. Its fascinating.

If you haven't already seen the thread on s2ki check it out (http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/752585-s2000-oem-paint-codes/).

I personally like laguna pearl blue, havent seen it with my own eyes here yet. GPW is common, so I'd go with laguna blue to be different.

Yea i've seen the thread. But there list is only stock colours. Im open to custom colour suggestions too. There is another thread on custom colours but it is short lived.

lag/bermuda blue is awesome in person :P


there's millions of colours to choose from so it's abit hard.. lol

lexus starfire pearl has always been a favorite but heaps of people are going that route. It's not a cheap route either it's a 6 layer pearl paint.

Is that the perlescent white? That looks almost silver? mmmmm

[vyets]

nah thats the pearl white on the is250 it's amazing

[ncmx5]

get the orange one... nsx orangy colour.

[VeYzZii]

That starfire pearl is a very nice colour. But I just don't think it's for an s2000. It's a shiny white with a purple sparkle. I like to keep the flat like colour. But they are stunning on the Lexus. And there Is actually a bloke with the Lexus pearl white paint on his S2000 on the forum.

How much would it cost to resprayed an s2000 a different colour?

[ludecrs]

I've been quoted 2200-4500 ext only.

[VeYzZii]

I should be getting a full respray, inside and out this November for 1400. A close friend of mine.

[ludecrs]

^ Engine out and all?

[phatty]

Thats a good mates rate o.o

[VeYzZii]

Yea. Engine bay, in door trims all that.

That's super cheap man... Paint alone would probably cost ya $500+ if your going with the fancy pearly stuff...

BUMP BUMP. I really need opinions on Bermuda Blue Pearl. I seen some Bermuda Blue S2000s in real life, and they are darker then the ones on the internet.. Alot darker. Vyets, is your blue stock blue? Are they pearled from stock?

No my blue was a respray. Yes it's pearled stock that's why it's called blue pearl.

It was a beautiful colour :) but since your car is silver I would just spray it honda moonrock or lexus graphite.

Would he be interested in more jobs?

[VeYzZii]

What hes charging me will obviously be cheaper then what he will charge elsewhere. I can find out how much he wants to respray and inbox you.
