I am going to get the car painted within the week at the dealer (Friend) for 1200 with Oem paint but dont know what color to go with .

Right now my car is Innsbruck White( Same as weightless white w83)

Not sure what color i want that color again or weightless white .

Opinions would help

Note they are really close to eachother with Wicked white a bit more yellow . I also noticed and he told me that my paint is 2 tone in the sun its whiter and in the dark its a yellower .

My car has black Cedia headlights with amber , gold wheels, stock red tailights , Vg will also be painted , Rexpeed type 1 spoiler will be added and later down the line i want to get a front splitter made by Apr .

Here are a couple pictures .

 

Just wondering, but why paint the car if it is already the "weightless white" color, unless you have a body kit, or new exterior parts your putting on?

 

Although u would be the only 02-03 lancer with a WW pant job that i've seen, W83 FTW!

 

Well i was thinking about painting it more of a super white . Like the Corvette white and Bmw white .

I am painting it over again because the paint isnt really all that good , the lip kit was a add on and need a new front end after i wrecked it over a yr ago .

 

i dont kno if its just me, but when i see a white corvette it just looks as if the entire car is made out of unpainted plastic, i cant comment on the BMW and idk how it would look on our cars but its ur choice.

 

i say go with octane blue it would look sexy with the rest of your mods...

 

If your thinking the bmw white, its called Alpine White. Its just a cleaner looking white and works well with any kind of exterior mods. Heres some pics of Alpine white just incase. (btw lol I have a BMW and this is how I eventually want it to look..once I'm done with the Ralliart tho.)

 

I say you go with the brightest, purest white you can find lol. I love wicked white cars, expecialy on our cars. btw, what lip is on yor car on the 4th picture from the top?

edit: nevermind about the lip, its the DA lip right? and if it is, how did you know how to make yours? is there a how to thread anywhere?

 

Wicked (IX) white if you are going OEM. It pops more. Weightless (VIII) has more of a yellow tint to it IMO. Or you could do the pearl white off of the 3000GT VR4. It "pops" more than the Diamond White Pearl on the OZs, same situation as the Wicked/Weightless difference, a little bit more of a yellow tint.

 

Ugh my car is pissing me off =/ lol

New Oem fenders 400 new hood 300 ,paint job and body work 1400 = $2100 and i dont even like it all that much anymore been thinking of getting a new Bmw 3 series and leaving it alone .

 

werent you saving up to get an evo?

 

lol go do it! BMW is and will always be my first love. Get the 335i or even the 135i. Even you can't afford those as of now. Even the 325i - 330i are beautiful and quick cars.

 

Forest green metallic!! This is the third paint thread I have expressed my desire for a green Evo or in this case a lancer Definitely do something more experimental if you are repainting the entire car!

 

I think i may paint it the same color code but there is 3 different ones , they get yellower , whiter and one with a touch of blue . Im going with the touch of blue on the car , the car just got out of the shop and is now waiting for paint , cost me 700 for the body work and frame work .




And this is the color I'm going for .

 

good choice
