GunMetalGrey Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Nope, thinking more of a crazy blueish purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e92boost Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Oh yeah! I'd go with a oem BMW paint, Avus like the e39 m5 (e36 has darker hue) or estoril ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Why oem? none of those really "pop" in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e92boost Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 unless you got a track e46 M3 to paint orange lol, i think any bmw repainted should be painted to another oem color, bc unless you got baller wheels/kit and coilovers a custom color wont look good. just my opinion, and have you seen estoril in real life lately? that color is one of the best blues ever! glows at night looks dope in day....

straight6pwr Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Any color suggestions? I am back to not knowing what color I want... I like a dark grey with metallic, but I dont know what else would look right. my favorite e30 colors: sepangbronze - early model with euro bumpers brilliantrot - late model coupe alpineweiss - late model sedan calypsorot - convertible schwartz - m3 there are so many good bmw colors. as long as you stay away from bronzit, they all can look really good! some sedan examples: cirrusblau [see signature] delphingray schwartz lagunagreen lapisblau (?) sterlingsilber alpineweiss zinnoberrot brilliantrot Edited March 27, 2011 by straight6pwr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
