Tasteful and bright colors don't got in the same sentance... =)
Black is sexy... anything FLASHY is going to look ricey because it's not a classic car IMO.
Dark Blue, SEXY...
Orange, ghey, green, ghey, Light blue, ehhh,
Take a pic of your car, put it in photoshop and adjust the colors... that will give you an idea of what you like... but hey, it's your $$$. do what you want.
i thnk that copper is cool if you have a 350 or a murano or max ...but...on a b13...it might just look too ricey....i am seriosuly contemplating a nice shiny black...but i gotta get rid of rust first..
if you wanna drop a good chunk of cash, how about that color changing stuff? that is very cool shit. I think it's called pearlite or something. A guy I worked with a few summers ago had it done on his 68 chevelle and it looked cool as shit. not ricey at all, just looked good. kinda changes from black to purple to blue to... as you walk around the car and the light hits it at different angles. It cost him 4 grand or something for his chevelle. but he was really really anal about how it looked, so for a less than show quality job on a smaller car it would be a lot less I'd guess.
It'd make your car really stand out and it seems like everybody from ricers to old muscle car guys think it's just plain cool stuff.
they've got it in 3 can kits at wal-mart, napa, etc for like 20 bucks. couldn't do a car with it, but you could do somethin with it and see how ya like it. I've thought about painting my computer case with it, as a 20 dollar way to tinker with something without damaging something expensive...

well iwas going to paint it myself and i didn't want a complicated paint.i wanted orange because i love the old camaros and mopars with the orange and black stripes
IMO i would go with black. right now my car is flat black with silver 16in wheels and it looks pretty good. everyone calls it the stealth bomber. i might just redo it in flat black because i didnt use very good paint and its starting to fade and you can see some paint strokes.also how about the bright red or the maroon pearl that came on the sentras. and that like steel blue color.

i was gonna do the lancer gray/gunmetal. oOooOOo loOks tite. but then sum damn cRX in my town beat me to it... but i love the 200sx orange. so its autumn orange or watever.? i thought it was burnt orange. butttttt. black is klean but harrrd very hard to keep klean. as long as u dont brush up against it when it got a light coat of dust on it.. heh
well in my opinion bright/pastel colors are for chics. evertime I see a pastel honda, with a guy driving I laugh at his ass.
In my opinion if you want to stand out, go with the cooper from a 200sx, I have seen this on a local guys car and it looked great. WRX blue would also be a good bright non ricey color.
Ive also seen a pick of a bright yellow b13 and it looked nice.
Favorite colors for B13 would be Silver, Midnight blue from a 03 max, and blue that came on the 94 b13 se-r
