Question on paint colors

goldguilexx · 11-07-2008, 11:18 PM

So im gonna paint my z4 3.0 roadster. Its original color is silver (the norm silver nothing fancy) so im going nuts on what color i should piant it. Its getting a lot of work done and the interior is black with carbon accents, the top is black and the hood will be a black. So whats everyone think? I thought about white cause it kicks ass but then theres the orange spots to deal with, i thought about black cuse its killer and aggresive but ultra hard to keep clean and hard to maintain overall. Any suggestions of cool colors you may have seen will be greatly appreciated.

yeah, the whole car is getting painted. The shop is called Donlyson Auto Concepts. They are doing all the work on my car. Francis (shop owner) has numerous show cars including a wide body ferrari, a crazy cool looking 3000gt and an all carbon 350z. So the guy is no stranger to making cars that will stand apart from the croud. He actually should be finishing up SEMA by now (i was gonna make my cars debut there but due to delays with parts we where ordering we could not make it in time). But anyways, yeah not sure what color, so far im thinking a special kind of silver maybe, something that can give me that wet look. But im not sure about yellow or anything, its a lil too shocking for my taste he he he.

A darker shade of red maybe. Ruby Red.

Every few months I think about trading my car for one that is ti silver. I hate the factory paint, very thin. Respray it ti silver. My all time fav Z4:

hmm i like the ruby red idea, that would give me a nice deep wet look im looking for, but damn Ti silver sure does look nice...... grrr
