New paint job

I've been thinking about getting my entire car repainted another color rather then just having the kit painted silver. I wanted to see some Lancers with after factory paint jobs so if you have any pictures please post them.

I owned a Grand AM that was a nice bright red but I've been leaning towards the blue that the evos come in. A friend of mine had it on his Mirage and it looked pretty nice.

That would be a cool color, I know the JDM lancers (cedia) were painted EB. Looks crazy on our cars. I'll be painting mine at school. I'm leaning towards a dull gray color with a clearcoat, with flat black rims. Can't wait

Do OEM Diamond White and add in some red flake. That's what I'm going to do. Or you could do red flake on a nice light yet deep blue. I've seen the red flake on some blue cars and it looks drop dead gorgeous.

I have a guy that paints professionally so really anything under the sun that I can think of he can do for me for paint cost plus a few $$.

I got a hook up like that too since I went to a Vocational high school and took auto collision repair there, I know the teacher so I would just have to bring my paint and car and either the class would do it, or I could do it myself, free of charge just buying the paint. But yeah, I'd say, whatever two colors you think look really good together, get the car painted one and add the second color in as metallic flake to set it off. It looks amazing, like when you go to a daytime car meet and your car is under the sun.
