What Colour would you think suits best??

Basically im spraying the 180 in the new year, and am completely confused as to a colour. Some people are telling me stick to the colour i have but i have had that 2 years now and i wanna change, even tho i do love it.

I want something different, not the norm.
I am kinda leaning towards one of the colours below
But ill get opinions before i say which one im leaning towards

I have picked about 6 colours i like, and it will prob be one of them, so opinions on the 6. :confused:
Bare in mind the style of the car, all the parts in my project thread will be on it, carbon bonnet, 50/50 rear lights, works wheels etc....

The colours i have narrowed it down too are

Lexus Desert sage Metallic

Hyundai Burnt orange(bronze) Cound'nt find a pick of it but its nearly the exact same as this, comes on the 06 santa fe's

Some form of yellow

Nexen purple - hard to get paint code

or Black

the green is by far the nicest color there.
but, i think it would only work if the car was completely mint body wise and finished looking.
(didnt look at pics of your car as it stands so maybe it is?)

i dont think it would work with rough body work or weak wheel choice.

if you can narrow it down to even two colours,
dont be too spacific, say green and red instead of specific colors for example,
then off those two colors get a few swatches of differant shades and see which you like at that point.

I'm liking the green scamp but I agree with Alan the bodywork would want to be well finished to pull it off

the brown on the risky devil 180 is by far the sweetest colour but only if its done right with some mega low and rediculas wheel fitment!

Lexus green or brown for sure, with the new wheels it'll look sick

all depends on your cars styling, like the brown aint gonna work unless you got some epic wheel fitment , do you have epic wheel fitment?:D ave your considered this green?

If its for a track car go for something ina base colour something that aint gonna be hard to match up or expensive if you tip her, ( something you could tidy up yourself to save you some coins) but if its a road car, that brown looks to be the shit :D

Body work will be spot on , so could pull it off, if ya look at my project thread you will see the wheels and stuff i have.
