paint color question! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 97 camry, when I get the money I'm going to paint it soon.

A friend is really good at painting, if I buy materials he'll do it for like 150-200 bucks.

thinking so far:
black
blue
*military army green (not camo, but maybe a dark olive drab or something)
*hard to explain, but u know what I mean?
or maybe red, but red is like yellow and played out.

any suggestions? what do you all think?

That Dark Blue stock color.

Dark Olive Green would be interesting... I could imagine that with a nice set of rims and kit... keeewwlll

Mustang Lime Green

Stand out, but not play out

i would say the same, dark green may look cool. think of British Racing Green on Jaguars/Mini Morris etc (correct me if wrong) or Dark Green on Italian Alfa Romeos, these are very nice deep colors especially when metalized

yea i hate va beach... but now im still thinking black with some black wheels, or possibly going a blue like the toyota yaris blue my wife has...

uhhh.....cheap for a paint job...

i do like that army green....and i also like the stock gen 4 green....prolly because my '96 gen3.5 is that color. they introduced 6P2 in 96 and ran into over in the gen 4 years.

dcninja757 · 09-01-2009, 12:04 AM

ok I'll make things simple, black! it'll go better with whatever wheels I decide to get, it's a simple color, cheaper to obtain and cost is the name of the game, lol

I don't mind the army green there... maybe a tad darker and a tad more green. That colour looks like baby shit honestly.

If you do Black, you might wanna do a couple of coats and maybe a couple of clear? I had a friend do this to his Gen 3 (took months to do... painter dude was heaps busy)... he went 3 or 4 coats black, 3-4 coats clear.

Looks AWESOME
