Well I have been looking at other colors, trying to match what I have, and I have picked out some I like. The first is the closest to my curent color I could find. I did find other colors I think are cool enough to replace this color as well.

current color:

Here is the closest color I could find.
It is a 98 Quicksilver Supra.

I think the Quicksilver Supra of the Pewter color would look sweet on Celica!

If I was to paint my car again, it would be Titanium Grey ( RX-8 ) or Steel Grey ( Viper RT/10 ) I love those colors.

While I agree that the dark silver colors look great, I would never paint my car in any shade of them. Years of experience in a body shop revealed that a lot of people just don't see those colors and run right into them.

Just my $0.02USD

I would go with the supra silver, if you're looking to repaint the car close to what you have. If not, I would so get the RX-8 titanium grey. I think that looks real nice. But then again, I love the RX-8 :D

Yeah, i've already gave my opinion, but i'm with him... If you're looking for something close to your previous color, the Quicksilver Supra color would be the best. Titanium Grey is the front-runner on my list though... and maybe take a look at Avus Silver (ALMS Edition Audi TT Quattro)

[off-topic]Gurr, I have an RX-8 in my driveway right now :wink: I'd like to have an All-Trac though :doh: [/off-topic]

On the note of titanium, here is a pic I found of my car at night. Looks sorta like it. Wish I could just patch up the color I already have...

That is a beautiful picture CMS. That silver looks great on there. I've been trying to figure out what color I want to repaint my car as well. So far I've been contemplating the same color you have. That titanium silver or a Mercedes Benz Silver. The only thing is that No matter what I plan on painting the canopy Merceds Benz black. But the rest of the car is the tough part for me. The other color I want to do is this dark blue sorta iridescent blue that Volkswagen has for thier Golfs and Beetles. It's a dark blue but when you look at it, there seems to be a lighter shade of blue that comes through.

The biggest reason I'm stuck on these two colors is becuase I want something that really brings out the nice rounded edges that the CS hood and the stock widebody has. Like in CMS's picture you can see the way the silver really sets off the bulges in the hood and fenders.

Nissan Chrome Silver


They also made a Liquid Aluminum on a limited number of 350's in 2004 and it was an $1100 option - trying to find some decent pics. The color is the same as the Chrome Silver without the black pigmentation. Very very bright silver...
