IMO, the Nissan Silvertone and BMW silver look the best of the bunch.

I am uploading silver 185s for my own reference.

I found an old PS of what my car might look like with a more metallic aluminum silver.

Gotta say I dislike gray, but I like silver. Seems to be a fine line between them.

I dig silver more than grey too.

Me too. I really like the Audi grey but only on their car. I am going to paint the car after I fix the other axle and resolve my fuel economy issue.

I really want to paint my car white. I love a white 185 most. However, I hate dealing with a white car. They get so damn dirty.

Drooooolll

Here is a 5th gen with a metalic silver. I do not think I want a silver like that.

If everything goes as planned, I think I have a color picked out.

?

Maybe a bit worse than gray, but white is one of the easiest colors to keep clean!

Try owning a black car. :shoots:

You guys are smoking crack. The OEM grey looks way better than most of the silver cars above. Bronze or gunmetal wheels will really set it off. Just keep it shiny like you would a black car and it will look great.

Haha yes! anyways, if you need lots of shots of the oem gray under different lighting you can always sift through my photobucket. Lots in the subfolders within that URL as well.

It's been said before but I don't remember the name of the color.

Thunder Cloud Metallic Celica (Very rare color for this generation)

I've also found a beautiful an OEM Blue Green color shifting metallic Chevy color that I think I've settled on for painting my Alltrac.

White is not bad for a the JDM look but I think the Alltrac really shines best when it's wrapped in metallic hues that show off the body features the most.

Yes. :doh:

You should have seen what I was saying when I first started my "swap" thread. Oh, this should be done in a couple of months...

In 5 days, this thread will be 2 years old.

good luck on finalizing a color.
i can't tell you how many times i've flip-flopped on what to paint the MR2 but we made a decision together that should be really nice 8)

white is really pretty but after having to deal with joe's white Teg i never want a white car again.
my Tercel was a really nice metallic silver & it hid dirt well :wink:
