which colour to paint...

Yer black is my only really option if i want a drastic colour change.

I had a look at a RX8 red in a local car yard,its pretty nice.yet again so is the DC5 red(which is milano red) just looked nice and clean.

Maybe standard milano red but in a metalic version,with a few coats of clear.

i think black or white with the interior maybe type r yellow... with the cf bonnet and red int look cool?

black dont look that good with a CF hood

id spray the car yellow

the red is too much on the inside
after spraying the car yellow i'd probably put some yellow highlights inside to break up all that red

^^ what? yellow? Yellow is not a neutral colour. man thats too far. Return some of the interior to stock colour. its too red man. if ur gonna kept the interior that way u might as well go with jet black or black like u suggested.
Maybe a grey colour. gun metal grey?

i honestly woudlnt paint my car red if i had a red interior .. too much over kill i think

white with red interior would look good .. but u said too subtle ..

wat about a kandy paint ?? like kandy pearl black with a hint of red ?

You could do what i did the first time i got my car painted and get a pearl mixed in with the stock red. Have a look at the pics of what my car used to look like with a gold pearl in it, it looked awesome when the sun hit it. Best way to go if you aren't going to paint door jambs, engine bay etc.

Good luck with it all.

did u say you had a gold pearl ? i'm still trying to spot it... hehe

hard to really see pearl in most pics. i can't really see mine in pics :confused:
but when people see in person "oooh blue pearl" lmao

i'd go an orange with a red pearl. that way you will get a bit of red int eh paint to math your interior. i wouldn't go yellow cause then you'd have to put yellow on the inside which would make your car look like a mcdonalds company car.

i was talking about like the pheonix yellow
and theres nothing wrong with maccas

Its a huge decision...i really dont know.I used to have all white interior(was to hard to keep clean) so i went all red..:) Also before the white rims i had black rims.Changing rims to suit the colour isnt a drama,but im not changing my interior again! plus i have EG6 interior so im not ditching that...lol..So i think its either between standard red with a metallic,rx8 red or black...
