Keep it Zinnobar; looks great when it's nice & shiny! :D
Easier to spray too (& under the bonnet etc will match), unless you're stripping the shell entirely & taking it back to bare metal?!

Find a posh upmarket dealership, we have one round deals with Brabbus, Porsche, Ferrari and the like, then go and pick a colour in this weather at least you'll have a true colour not an internet one...... Just read that back sounds strange but hopefully you know what I mean?

I might be a little biased, but if you want to keep the colour an original E30 one, and you want a brighter red, then brilliant red is perfect:

:lol:

No offence taken, I'm just glad it doesn't look pink! :)

Sig pic was taken with my camera (Olympus) and the pic I posted up (also my avatar) was taken with a Sony last summer....

Ferrari red's nice, but would that really suit an E30? Some Photoshop mock-ups might be a good idea before you decide :D

You have to make sure your painter is happy for you to go for a complete colour change before you pick a coloure mate. I say that because there will be a lot more work for him if you decide to go for a colour change, unless you're going for a bare shell re-spray. If you're not and you want the colour changed, then the will have to do the engine bay, door shuts, boot shuts and a whole heap of other things. If you do go for the change, then i'd agree that the Enzo red is really hot.
