Hi folks,

         I am planning to get my car re-painted. However I want to lookout for a different color. Let me give some details about the Car..Its Hyundai Accent Viva 1.6 DOHC, 2002 model, with Forest Dew factory paint. However I have noticed that at couple of places panels hv started catching rust (worse at the drive and front passenger foot-panel). I have thought of below colors. However any suggestions are most welcome. The order is as per my preferences:

1. Yellow (same as the one you get in Old Lancer).

2. Blue (Similar to the one in Chevvy Beat)

3. Red (This will be my last resort, and if I only have this as an option will better keep F. Dew itself).

         Do suggest which one (other than Red) would best suit the car.

Thanks in Advance,

Rahul

Personally, I would prefer the Blue of the chevrolet Beat. Note that I am referring to the dark blue(beat comes in two shades of blue). A metallic colour like this will give the car a fresh and premium look rather than going for a solid colour like yellow. 

Yes, you do get metallic or pearl metallic yellow, but the skill required for this job will be on the higher side and if not, can ruin the beauty of the car.

I too would go for the blue but the lighter shade. Personally I favour lighter colours as dark colours tend to attract heat.




An accident is generally the result of a screw loose in the nut behind the steering wheel
