    I am currently working on my newest project car, my nissan sentra b14 super saloon se (well not newest, but it was stocked in the house for several years).

    The repairs are not yet finished as progress is slow because I am doing it myself, I'm planning on restoring the car to the original specs, all stock...

    Now I'm thinking that since malapit na matapos ang repairs ng kotse its likely that I will have it painted soon.

    So I just wanted to ask your opinions on what color would look best on my sentra. My only choices are black and white (metallic black, glossy black, pearl white, whatever white, etc). Its current color is yellow, originally white.

    Madami bang tao ang naka white na sentra? do you see a white sentra on a daily/frequent basis? how about a black sentra? whats more common, a white one or black one? I want the car to have the less common of the 2...

    Anong kulay kaya ang mas mag "co-compliment" sa design ng katawan niya?

    I know that maintaining both colors are very hard because I have a white and a black car. But I just dont know what would look good on the sentra

    And pictures of your black and/or white sentras please! hahaha

    Thanks in advance.

    Gusto ko kasi sana kita ang mga "lines" ng car, sa altis ko parang medyo natatago siya di katulad ng mga ibang altis na nakikita ko sa daan...

    pero true, mas mainit ang interior at mahirap palamigin ang black kong car mas lalo na pag nababad sa araw.

    I really fell in love before with a blue corolla big body na nakatabi ko sa parking lot, and also the blue subarus!

    pero masyado yata flashy ang blue eh, I dont want to stand off too much...

    Pearl white on a toyota land cruiser or any lexus is crazy good. 3 layers ata gamit nila to attain the look. Pearl white pala boto ko hahaha.

    Also, 3 out of the 4 nissan gtrs that ive seen here sa pinas are white... maybe white would give a sportier look?

    im really confused kasi I like both white and black, di ko alam ano pipiliin ko. Unless, I paint half the car white and the other half black (sobrang baduy yata nun, and baka mahal!)

    Ito ang magpapahirap pa sa situation: There are many types of paint, according to my research.

    meron flat white, matte white (ayoko ng matte) glossy white (pareho yata sa flat white) metallic white, and pearl white.

    For black naman, all of the above black...

    so, metallic vs glossy vs pearl? i cant find much pictures online eh...

    Look at the difference. Metallic vs gloss. I prefer the gloss if i have a covered garage.

    Glossy paint ang common finish sa cars. Solid White or Pearl White are both glossy. Yung Pearl White nga lang ay may pearl dusts mixed to the paint.

    so im assuming that pearl/metalic paint would be more expensive than glossy due to the added ingredients...

    glossy white would look too bland kasi plain lang siya diba? but i think din naman na pearl white would look too flashy and might only suit a luxury car (which i believe the sentra is far from one)

    so ano kaya ang best balance of the two?
