What colour should I paint my hatch?

I am getting a new paint job on my 93 hatch, what colour do you think would look best?

Depends...

Are you painting the WHOLE thing (engine compartment as well) or just the exterior shell?

If you aren't paying the coin to have it ALL done then I would just keep it the factory color.

Regards,

WORD.

I don't care if the color you have now is shiet brown - it will look better than having some whacked out two tone effect when you pop your hood, doors or trunk. That just seems a littel ghetto IMO.

Ya

Well, I am only thinking of getting a new paint job because my insurance is going to be paying for more then half of it, so it would be a complete colour change, ie under the hood, in the doors, everywhere.

Picking the exterior colour of your car is a big deal becasue if you decide to make other changes ie.interior it should all flow and keep a colour theme so think it through although the orange with nice tan teg leather would be cool. IMO

The Lime green isn't bad.

I like the gray. But I also like the colour of OverKill's old Si Hatch. A nice light blue kinda thing, I also like the nice M3 Blue.

But many people have blue now, so go for something different, but not too strange. It would suck if your paint job caused your car to get some "extra attention" (ie. valdalism, theft etc).. That would suck big time. So just be careful and best of luck!

Personally I don't like that grey on the Audi TT, it's kinda bland and boring (but I like the car!!)

I like the lime green in that pic though!! It looks really nice!!
