why would you want to look at paint color on an lcd screen? Your car is not a liquid crystal display...

go to a paint shop.

Or, why not look at other cars around you? That's how I picked my color, first time I saw the Altima S-ER, I knew that was my color. Nissan and Infinity have some awesome colors, as do BMW, especially blacks.

I cant agree with you more, Infinity has an amazing array of colors. My faves are Obsidian Black and Athens Blue.

yeah, you cant pick your paint color looking at sheets of samples, especially online, and even worse on an LCD screen.

look at local cars in the area, or take a trip up to some random dealerships and check out car colors..

my car is going with autozone special paint, and a hybrid black/blue. fing02.gif
