I once looked at a BM in Sterling Silver i think. That was really nice, but i do love the Callipso Reds :wink:

Isn't sterling silver the most boring colour possible? Thats what my 4dr is

p.s sorry for the chameleon paint suggestion.... :-)

thanks for the input folks,im thinking it will be between calypso red,malachite green or the mettalic blue, definately wont be white,black,silver as i find them a bit dull(no offence intended)or any sort of flip paint,ill leave that to the ricers and nova boys.definately wont be moonstone blue as i think that would be taking the ford/cosworth thing to far :thumb:

I saw a couple of techno violet e30 tourers in Germany last year, think i posted a question about it on here or the bmw club forum, anyway the looked the biz and stood out as i've never seen or heard of any here.

or there's always laser blue ! winkeye I've got some decent pics of mine in the sun and (i think) it looks great!

I see a red car and I want it painted black...

preferably matt.

Try Ford (I know...) Satin Black. hmmmmm


Cosmic is just too metallic.


White is cool, Black is cool, Matt Black is cooler, slab colours are great (azure blue, opel grapefruit yellow, bmw dakar yellow, fiat giallo fly, BL british racing brown).....
..... or get it chromed!!!!!!


Have never seen a flesh coloured car...

First thoughts would be Sterling silver because its such a nice colour, enhances the shape i would think. But if thats too common for you, how about a nice shade of Dakar yellow. Never seen one before.

Photoshop anyone?
