So Friday wasn't the greatest of days for me. Started off getting to school late and then some stuff happened at school etc etc. Fast forward to 3PM which is when I get out. I walk out to my car and there's a key mark running along my rear quarter panel on the driver side. So I drive home to clean my car and buff it out. It doesn't really come out. Then as I'm cleaning my interior, I hear a huge crack and the garage door falls down on top of my car. So basically, I need a new bumper and to get the driver quarter repainted but since they're going to have the blend the paint, I'm thinking maybe I can just get the car painted a whole new color . So whiling I'm looking for the silver lining of the situation, I'm hoping to get some ideas for a new paint. I'm not really a fan of two tone paint jobs or fades so I'm really hoping to keep it a single color. With that in mind, I would also like to stay away from the blue realm because almost every Scion color has a blue hue. So far, these are two photoshops I came up with.

Gold: (I can't get the right hue though)


Here's the color I want: Picture courtesy of Playing with Fire from Scionlife:


Red: Not sure what style though. Pearl maybe? Not the same as the RS1 red though


Just post up your ideas and if you can, photoshop the color onto my car. Photoshop quality photo

Edit: I think I've decided on a color haha. Red Metallic from the new EvoX

Gold would look awesome. Red is nice, but even if its not the RS1 red, people outside the Scion community will see it as just a red tC, haha.

Gold would stand out!

^^ Yup I really like the gold too. I've always wanted a red car haha. I'm trying to stand out but at the same time be clean and defined. The thing with gold is my entire theme right now is black and red and if I change the exterior to gold that kinda messes it up haha

Edit: I would also like some input on colors you like

Wow sounds like you really did have a bad day. But it's good you are looking at the silver lining in all of it lol. Anyway I think that gold looks very hot! That would be my first choice for a new color. Good Luck with everything man.

the gold + those rims looks VIP

another color I imagine is a lime green metallic, but that's just another idea. It takes a strong body-kit to pull off the lime green mica

I still say gold

Hmm, is candy apple red too outrageous? That would be pretty sick.

^^ No idea yet. Insurance is covering so I'm just gonna pay the difference to get the rest of the car done. Considering I have the quarter panel and bumper already. They'll need to blend that so I don't think it'll be too much more to paint the whole car.
