GUN METAL GREY COLOUR CODE (s) ?

[lolipo]

Hello there guys!I am planning to repaint my long time abandoned E34 to gun metal grey but i can't seem to get the color codes for it and whenever i google it, it seems there is 2 types of gun metal grey color. One dark gun metal grey and another one lighter gun metal grey. Any of u out there can help me on this? Please post in the color codes with photos of the color on a BMW please.Appreciate it if u guys could help me on this for i have only 20 more days to go before it's my turn to send my car to the paint shop. Thanks in advanced.Regards,lolipo:top:

Try #184, but it ran till 1990, so not sure if it was an original E34 colour. Some of the other E34 gurus should be able to help.

There is no gun metal grey in BMW color base on my knowledge, I can be wrong...
Another site for you to browse http://www.cardata.com/spoilers/Car_Paint_Colors/BMW_paint_codes.htm
Btw, 184 is dephin grey and it is a BMW color.

Why gun metal grey? Go with funky colors like purple with yellow lines heheh
Or pink with green stripes? cool eh???

It appears "Stahlgrau Steel Grey Metallic Grey 51 91 1 052 651" would be the nearest. Seen pics of z3 in steel grey. Looks cool. I think it goes better with smaller/sportier model. Considered that before deciding to change the colour on my e34 from bmw dolphin grey to porsche seal grey

 

[lolipo]

Wow! Thank you so much for all the help guys! Appreciate it. Keep posting guys.


Miepower...maybe i'll go for black with pink stripes...with a touch of polkadots on the fenders and to top all that, i might use white bodied tyres with a 15" rims. Cool huh? Yamcha bro?

my suggestion,

1.check out pics of the same model (e34?) with different paints.. decide what colour is best. well, i guess u've found out gun metal grey is the colour u want?

2.different sized cars wud have different effects.. so look up for similar sized cars, eg merc, audi, camry, etc with nearest 'standard' colour of your choice. then look up their colour code. easier to match by painter.

3. also look up 'common' paint codes for porsches, ferraris, lambo, aston martin, etc.. u can just choose, u wont go wrong this way too..

gud luck!
