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

E30 in need of wiring loom smoke since April '11...
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?

No offence but your sig pic makes your car look orange.
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

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.
