What is Hong Kong yellow??

bmwsideways IMO choose a striking colour like red as a fully modded car has to be striking and stand out from the crowd or like the colour nik showed it will better suit your go fast mod's.

Im not sure what is the colour code but they called it HK Yelllow..

Vote is high on black.

Ok decision is here. Black with blue pearl. Never seen on public b4, quite nice.

If any of you guys saw my white b4, the same blue effect but black kolor.

your previous one still too yellow, if u can get something close to the bluish effect of the Fiat Coupe's pearl colour then it will be much nicer.

For better efect you can modify your bonnet to darkish semi-transparent like some US honda cars. They install blue light which can be on/off so when you park your car and switch on the light you can see your chrome engine internals.

Black is for sadists and masochists.

If you recommend black for paintwork, I would say that you are a sadist. Black is one of the most difficult colours to maintain. Every scratch and swirl on the paintwork will shout at you. A few hours outside a hermetically sealed environment and you will see a layer of dust. You have to hand wash the car to reduce the likelihood of swirl/scratches and watermarks.

God help you if you use automated carwashes or manual car washes that use wiper blades on the paint to remove excess water.

People who have cars painted black are masochists.

I have to call myself a masochist, since my Citroen ZX Wagon is black. Used to care, now wash once every two months or so. It is an absolute pain to see it dirty, but its even worse to see how fast it gets dirty.

White is not as bad, only water marks if you don't regularly wash and wax.

Dust and dirt is also less apparent than if the car were painted black.

So unless you have nothing else to do other than washing and waxing the car, u should stay away from black.

However, at the end of the day, it is your choice!

Good Luck!
