Default Alpine White III 2nd gen GS300

Here is my newly painted 1998 GS300, I asked a few of you a month or so ago what I should paint it and someone came up with this idea and I liked it I only have one picture at this moment but I will update it on Monday when I get it back.

This picture was taken inside the shop so its a little dark but you get the idea, let me know what you guys think

Okay here is the first picture I ever took of the car



Here it is at our shop the same day, its hard to tell in the pictures but it had a lot of rock chips, dings, scratches, and some minor damage to the driver side doors.



These are the new emblems

Looks like you also had boddy work done. But looks good.
I was also thinking of changing my paint from a Cinnabar Pearl to either the white pearl or maybe a charcoal gray.
Still debating since I like to original Cinn Peal.

You have a rare color, so I would keep the Cinnabar. There are plenty of white and gray (GGP) GS's out there. You'll regret it later if you change your color.

Nice, you definitely have a rare color combo!!! Did you paint the chrome strip white too?

Yeah I agree I would not change the color on it the Cinnabar color looks great. Yes I had them paint them they were badly faded and honestly Ive never really been a big fan of the chrome trim.
