I will be painting my track car, the current paint looks terrible and is faded. Should I go with th original color (maroon) or switch it up? I have always been kind of partial to white SE-R's but the maroon is a little more unique.

White is dead easy to paint. Rustoleum is cheap and makes for simple touch up int he future. How would you match the maroon now or in the future? Strategic strips can be great for seperating areas of different paint.

Plasti-dip it, easy to peel off and repaint if you want

There's basically only one period-correct livery for a B13:

White base with BRE stripes, like this but on your Sentra and not a 510;

White cars are awesome. White Nissans with BRE stripes are awesomer.

White will help keep the interior a little cooler in the summer.

Dark shades look good on a b13.

I vote for pearl white with excessive gold trim.

Very cool.

As for the BRE stripes, spoiler alert: In the next issue of GRM, Peter Brock explains how they came to be. Plus some other related tidbits. For reals.

Paint it your favorite auto color, then put some stripes or other interesting graphic on it, or you could get it wrapped.

I initially was pretty dead set on the white, but every time I look at the picture I posted from roebling earlier, I can't help but think it certainly looks nice in the maroon. I am torn...

I went with white with a black roof. It came out great!

Unfortunately it decided not to start hence the crappy picture in front of the shop and not in front of my house. I think it's the igniter chip, I picked up one on the way home... Keep your fingers crossed.
