What colour for my car

[DingChavez]

Dearest friends/forumersI'm sending my car for painting soon, just after i do the mechanical/aircon stuff up. was seriously thinking if lotus racing green, but now i'm not so sure. fyi, for those who never seen my car, it's a stock E30 coupe with 15'' RD rims and stock metal bumpers. if possible i wanna keep the chrome and i wanna make the car look classic.....your feedback would be greatly appreciated. many thanks in advance B) Ding

If it's classic u want, the racing green should do wonders. Else go for ICEMAN13 blue. (is that a new color.. haha)

Ding,

I think that the steel blue from the E46 would be just the thing as it has both the grey and bluish properties that you like. Besides, I think that your car would presreve its classic look in this color.

Cheers!

Yup.. darker colours will suit your chrome bumpers well

Don't forget dark colours are a pain to keep clean............

 

[MeanStreak]

no pain no gain lah bro.... lighter colours like white or silver will not do his chrome bumpers any justice... just my 2 kupang

Estoril Blue
