I usually start of by changing the color to white or some other bright color and then do the body work. This way I can see the bodywork in detail right away. This usually doesn't take very long since there aren't that many body choices that look good to me. After I'm sort of happy with the body, I go for the paintjob and start trying out different things. This can take hours some time.

So, agreed. Paint is very important for the look of the car.

yeah i think painting is usually thought about in making a car unique. i myself change the paint 3-4 times before i'm happy. the right paint job is usually based off of: the style of body kit, the rims, and of course - the car itself. so yeah i'd say it involves a bit of thought.

Wait, what, really? Someone forgot to tell my car then (unless it's dependant on the shade of blue - my car is a really wussy shade of light blue).

Obey the blue, T3|-| blue owns all!
As you can see, blue is my favorite color.
*I actually picked out the GTO color, parents wanted it yellow :lol:*
And then I have the Ferrari Blue in my picture.
Seems like this website is a ghost town. No longer worth a visit or anyone's time.

I think that it is imparative to think before you paint, as your paint type/colour affects the accessories on your car (taillights, etc), your vinyls (pearlescent sometimes, at least with me, makes vinyls difficult to colour), and most importantly, the attitude of your car. For example, if you roll up in a pink car, with a green vinyl, and a yellow roofscoop, then you could quite possibly be laughed right out of online play. :P

Paint is very Important,
If your using vynils,
You can't go wrong with white or silver.
When fitting a bodykit, a darker silver will accentuate lines
And pearl colours kinda suck.
There should be a custom colour system like in juiced.
There will be the basic gloss+metallic colours, or you can make you own.
This game needs candy colours!
Where do you suggest thios to EA?
Anyway,
Paint can be important for the car's image

F that the juiced paint crap was frustrating, I hope Pearlescent Blue is in Most Wanted.
