Well, the Evil Egg is going into surgery in the next few days so I thought I might as well try a whole new colour on the car. Any ideas? I have no clue what colour I want to try. Something racey like a bright solid color? Or something more subtle in a dark metallic? Straight white? Pitch black? Thanks in advance for the suggestions :)

Hey, how about red? :D

If I didn't already have red, I would probably want that nice sapphire blue that some NX's came with. Nice color.

Don't you have the rarest color on an already rare car???? WHY??? I'd either go stock with that color or get your hands on the IS300 grey, it is a grey with metallic flake in it. I'm guessing it's a little dark, but when you look closely or when the light hits it, it shines. In September I'm going to get my whole car repainted (all body issues addressed too), back to the factory red. I just like the engine bay/door jams to match the paint on the outside.

that silver gray looks really good on the nx :D

another color i like is that burgundy red kind like on the altimas but with a bit more pop to it.
or i have always wondered what a deep emerald green or bright british racing green would look like on the nx

i would stick with what you got. i like that silver. if you really felt you had to change it, go with another silver or another similar color. if you dont, whenever you pop your hood our open your doors, your engine bay and dor frames etc. will look funny since they will still be silver.

ok, heres my opinions on the colors. hehe

1. Porsche Yellow:D , its a great color of yellow, ive seen it on an old MG before. i think it would look great on an NX. might look a little ricey though, but who cares, we got an SR20 to back the looks up with!:D
2. British Racing Green:D , this color will have such a deep shine on it, and i personally think this would be a great color on an nx if you want a dark color.
3.Tartan Red, its on my old mg, its a very bright red and stands out. it would probably look great on an egg too:)

Or you can get a paintjob like Tom Green's "SLUTMOBILE":D

ewwwww.....honda blue...even though it's kinda cool, i would never make my car look like a stupid civic :P

anyway, i like your color that you have...i would stick with it or go with the nx blue like was suggested earlier...i think it looks good...either that or the lexus blue...

I would definatley hook up a nice blue, like the subaru blue, or that Z blue looks great...or maybe even a darker metallic blue...just my opinion though.

super black, or a bright metallic green to ashade of your liking, i personally wanna get my egg painted that color and get some black or gunmetal rims to accompany it should look diesel when ever i find the money. I have yet to see a green egg and i think it would look good

Hey your color looks great already. Silver is great and it looks like your color has really been kept up. I duno if this would look good but maybe a raceing stripe =)? I guess that could be a possibility. Also, I havent seen the interior of your car but you might wanna put some money into making that look better if it doesnt already.

Anyway thats just my thought
