choose my paint!

I was thinking about painting my car but I need some help on choosing a cool color. I was thinking about painting it WRX or Acura blue...but I forgot that there is already a blue 240sx on our racing scene and I want to be original without people thinking that I'm coping their car. So that led me to yellow...I was thinking yellow for 1.) i never seen a yellow 240 and 2.) it will make make my carbon fiber hood stand out and grab people's attention. I was thinking a yellow along the lines of the RX-8 or the Evo. so if anyone can come up with any other cool colors that you would like to see a 240 as or tell me what you think of my suggestions.

You wanna be original, try black fenders and white doors. I guaran-damn-tee you, you'll be the hit of yer' neighborhood YEEEEHAW.





Just kidding... white is really nice but as you can tell, it's very common... black is good, but a b*tch to keep clean. How about jumping into Pshop and trying some color mixtures out?
