i've seen numerous purple cars i LOVE, ofcourse i doubt it was macco that did the paint.

Noone can tell what color you are gonna like. Question is, what is your favorite color.

red, blue, black, white, silver.

any of those will be fine

I'm still going to suggest hot pink...

cos, if you're driving a camry, thats fine... but if you're actually going to bother repainting an oldish family car... well, you should paint it pink, so you get the bashing you clearly deserve.......

just my opinion though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif lol

Dunno what color the OP's car is but here is a 1994 Camry XLE:

To the OP....whatever color you get it done in make sure they paint the insides of the door sills and whatnot so it's not flamingly obvious when you open the doors that the car has been resprayed (pet peeve of mine)

cool paint only looks good on cool cars. sorry.

just get a respray of what you have now, or some other simple color.

x454546 i hate cars that look ghey but have a nice paint job (like a racing stripe)

But a quality respray of the factory color can make a Night&Day difference on what the car looks like overall...

See here:

Not a "cool" car by any means but it certainly looks better than it did when I first got it IMO

uh oh maaco...........

Maaco painted my car and did a great job. I went from a silver to a black, clear coat mixed in with the paint though (I would get clear coat on top if I were you), door jams and trunk/hood for $1,500. It has a 4 year warranty, so when I get little paint chips I bring it to them and they fix it... for free.
