what color to paint my car...

I think it’s just a childhood thing… When I was a kid, all the “cool cars” were always red: Cameron Frye’s dad’s Ferarri 250GT California in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, many Porsche 911s, my dad’s MR2 turbo, E30 M3s, my cousin’s 16v GTI, my step-mom’s first Cabriolet, my parents’ 68 Camaro convertible, et cetera…

My first car being a bright red CRX probably solidified my love of the colour as well.

I’m biased though :slight_smile:

just paint under the hood all black and then decide on the color later. U never can go wrong with black under ur hood.

here’s dark blue pearl. it’s a mopar color, i just couldn,t find it on one.

memory red?

can never go wrong with black and a thick clearcoat on the body

x2 on the underhood being black too, I’m doing the same thing this summer

intake manifold, fuel rails, valve covers, alt cover

hot shit

i am actually leaning towards the color of the Z3 on the front page… still kind of up in the air though

memory motherfuckin red.

dooooo it.

I would like to see a whole car done in Anthracite. It’s the bottom color of my truck. In regular light it looks really dark, almost black. But in sunlight or direct light it has an excellent shimmer to it that fades to the darker color away from where you’re looking. Almost like a phantom effect between black/grey/silver.

theres so many colors to choose from. I like the color of that z3 on the first page looks nice. That audi tt color is a little extreme for your 240.

you can spice up that color with a little bit of gold pearls mixed in.

I know that guy, he’s one crazy motherfucker. That car is sick… I remember last summer the bumper came off so he just took it and threw it into the back of the trunk… talk about beater drift cars.

My vote: BMW Laguna Seca Blue

purple

i picked out my new color today when i saw it, it was an 2005 nissan titain the brown/bronze color sick edit-----Red Brawn

i love the Interlagos Blue M3

looks even better in person

Magnolia Pearl Effekt aka pearl white. still the nicest oem color imo. if i wasnt building a car i would beat the shit out of, i would paint it that. but as it is, i never wash my cars.
