View Full Version : Help choosing car color
Hey guys,
I want to know what is the best color for an integra which will only be used on a track..
I want the car color to stand out a little bit so I can get it noticed by sponcers, so help me out here..
I got some idea's
1- Same Orange color as the Evo

2-Baby blue with and Orange line down the middle like the Ford GT40 Gulf

To Photoshop a car, white is the worst base color, just to let you know ;)
BTW, IMO the best color for a trackcar is plain white LOL.. I feel it's a bit boring ;)

why is white the worst for photoshopping?
Yeah White is good for a track day car but it won't stand out.. And my car is Silver .. Any other suggestion TT.. Other than Black or White :mrgreen:
I would really like someone to photoshop that gulf blue/orange on the integra. I also think it would look good but I got that tiny thing that says it won't work.

Well, first of all, on a white car in most cases many lines are like flattened, they disappear when it's white and then well, when you paint a white car in PS usually you end up with a red/blue/green whatever car on wich you miss those details that were missing because of the base color ;)

Well, to get you noticed obviously as bright a colour as possible is gunna do the trick, but if your looking for sponsorship then i'd stay clear of the gulf colour scheme, as it may clash with sponsors logo's and it leaves less panel space for big stickers. A white car would be best for making simple graphics stand out, and easy to paint if you stuff it, or to touch up slight stone chips or tyre donughts!
What series is it your racing in?
Also if you have any ideas of prospective sponsers, then you should probably go for a colour that suits their graphics/logos. :)
I don't have any sponsers right now, I'm hoping to get some when the car is ready. The only company I'm sure I'll put their logo on the car is my own brother company which is orange in color. That's why I kind of like of thinking of something that got Orange in it..

This is how the Gulf theme would look vaguely ;)

I really like the orange in the Evo, altough it´s difficult to imagine how an Integra would look with this color :roll:
So Now

2 votes white
1 vote red
1 vote Orange

definitely the same orange as the EVO, you need a fleet of cars that color like your signature.

IMO, id leave the cars just in the same colours and conditions as in the first three pics.....the mitsu looks awesome, and the integra as well...perhaps the only car that id change the colour is the GT40s...id leave it in black or red one.......anyway the GT40 look great as well....

did you even read anything he wrote?
He wanted to know what color to paint the Integra and used the GT40 as an example of a possible paint job to honor a racing legend.
as i told u id go with the same colour as your Evo.i love that colour and with your bro gettin his s2000 painted the same colour,it would look pretty sweet all of you havin that colour :D

in the integra i prefer the orange of evo, but i think this car look much better in black or red
Fire up your trusty PS2 - boot up GT3 - load up an Integra and get creative with the colours... :P

Pick to high contrasting colors (i.e. neon green and hot pink) and fade them front to back, that would really make you stand out.

for integra, i actually like the stock champion white and phoniex yellow found on the ITR's.
as for custom color, i like the greyish silver pearly color found on new cars
What about British Racing Green :?:
Or spoon color's
Blue/Yellow :?:

not BRG, i think that will look wrong on a integra. Maybe blue/yellow tho ;)
Yeah the blue/yellow spoon style will be cool on the car.. espacilly if the car got brownz wheels :D

My attempt to photoshop this ..
I don't think it looks bad.. The color is not very good in photoshop.. but I think it will look good in reality.
The wheels are kind of brownz..lol.. that's the best I could do. :lol:
What do you think. :?:

The same orange as your Evo would be a good choice, as well as the yellow/blue combo.
You could also leave the car white for the most part and paint the wheels and lower part of the body in the orange your Evo is (a bit like the 911 GT3 RS, but without the text). That way, there's still the connection with the Evo and the S2000, as well as that it's easy to spot on track and the white part is excellent for sponsor's stickers.

That one is cool.
How many of you guys like the Blue/Yellow combo and how many don't.. :?: :mrgreen:
it looks ok,but seriously id go along with the orange of your evo.plus in my mind i can picture it lookin really good,especially if u get sponsers on there aswell

Or, how bout a really shiny gloss back at the front that fades to flat black when it nears the rear of the car? I think I saw that paint job on a car tuned by Fabulous. Looks real good.
