mr.e90 · 01-31-2012, 09:52 PM

hey guys, i recently got my car vandalised so im taking the opportunity to changing up the color. here are some pics of my car before. So now im asking you guys what color would you suggest? i am thinking on mineral white, glacier white(Audi), Imola red, or something different

red! something flashy... how often do you get to do this...

mr.e90 · 01-31-2012, 10:35 PM

or

technoviolet (w/ black accents+wheels)

or

estoril

Matte white paint with a light pearl red(very light mixture of red to much and you'll have a pink car)...then make sure to use the matte clear!!!!

that way it looks white butttt when the sun hits it you'll see a slight red tint..did something similar to a cousins car!! came out great!

mapleridge · 02-01-2012, 03:46 AM

matte white if its possible.

Krantz3r · 02-01-2012, 06:07 AM

Why not midnight black ?

Eric335 · 02-01-2012, 08:54 AM

either lambo white or green!

TroyDeJ · 02-01-2012, 09:05 AM

changing the color of a car really decreases the value unless its a show car or something so keep that in mind with your decision.

But if you going to do it anyway i think lamborghini balloon white would be awesome.

JDLM · 02-01-2012, 09:10 AM

fwiw: Balloon white is a hard code to get to have paint made w/ it (They are keeping it hidden lol )

the color I posted is an OEM Lexus Color

GetSomeE92 · 02-01-2012, 09:19 AM

I would just get it painted in the same color. Unless you're going to keep the car for so long that the color change won't really affect the price of the car, that is the best option, in my opinion.

However, a unique, non-BMW white would be a decent choice.
