Best Colour for an e30 converty ???

[TheConverter]

Tricky business this, completely stripped the car to respray and was originally gonna go with mauve purple, now i not sure and thinkin of mauritius blue, maybe astoril blue?? I have no idea!! haha!! any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers!

[Greeny]

Any of the colours you mention will look good as long as they are done well. I personally like the sound of the mauve purple. Why not put it to the vote and choose the most voted for colour?

[dazleeds]

malacite mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[candyman]

purple yes mauve nooooo !!!!! LOL

[orangecurry]

same as the best colour for any E30 - calypso red

[Rosc0PColtrane]

I like Imola red, the newer bm colur, otherwise do it blick

[Greeny]

I do have to say black is a good colour, althought it is a nightmare to keep clean.

[stevo_sideways]

Navy in a cab is my favourite! A bit obvious maybe but they're hard to beat

[ash-e30]

nice perl green(dark green fadded into black)

had same issue when painted mine but decided a colour change is a big job to do right, so stuck with diamond black met.

personally think white cabs look the best

[seanboy]

macau blue or A newer bmw colour would look good.
is mauve the vr6 colour or do bmw do A mauve?
cheers

Dave - put your best picture up - I only have one of my old car..... and it doesn't give the right message

[GDBN]

Burgundy red - but then I'm biased !!

[blingsta]

def e36 estoril blue....

[Gouki]

i'd go for estoril blue but either way whatever ones you decide on its gonna look nice regardless.

[m3-cab]

Not cos of i've got one ( ), but i'd say Macau Blue cos it flips from grey to blue to a sort of almost purple when you catch it at different angles and then at night it just looks like it's black!

[Geeman]

Avus Blue or Imola Red.

If I EVER get round to doing another E30 project, Imola read it will be. It's such a nice shade.

[grantfk10]

Laguna green! It's the new calypso red

only got the ones from last year and i don't really like them ...yours looks fine.............ok then

[goosiegander]

Brilliant red, its stock and rocks!

[bootyman]

BORING, BORING, BORING!!! What you need is a nice Booty Blue or an Even better Booty Kandy Red. Even better still you can achieve the look with a few cans from Halfords

[gary]

Macau blue...I have a mate who is doing this as we speak on his Tech II Sport, was origianlly red

[DaveD]

can you come round and do mine on Sunday ben tell me which cans from Halfrauds

[bootyman]

Both. I can get you the cans for £20, but my labour is £4980

CALYPSO RED
