So my whole car is getting repainted

So due to some recent events my Evo is being completley repainted, the car is at a buddys shop right now, its being covered by insurance. However I could get it custom painted if I want to. I guess I was just looking for some feedback as to maybe some color ideas or styling ideas.

The car is currently Blue By You, I have tossed around the idea of having it repainted the same factory color but messing around with a colored clear coat, perhaps a hint of purple in the clear. I have also toyed with the possibility of having some irodescent sp?) paint work done. Or maybe just a complete color change.

Lets hear what ya got

IMO you should definitly go custom. I vote dark blue with a hint of red in the clear. SICK!

Is insurance giving you enough money to do a complete tear down paint job which will allow for you to get rid of all the painted areas under the hood, door jams, etc? Because repainting the outer panels is much cheaper than doing a complete color change properly.

Long Beach Blue..... Cool color.



I've always been a fan of Audi's Nogaro Blue. But i don't know if it would work on an Evo.
