Title: Fresh E30, what colour to repaint?
Post by: Vladi on December 05, 2010, 04:33:03 PM

Hello all!

I've just bought my 3rd E30. Because the PO repainted it in a crappy RAL 7016 and I can't stand it I want to do a total respray of the car, engine compartment, interior, trunk, everything. Car is already stripped to the metal, engine off, etc. :)
Car was originally Bronzitbeige.
What colours do you guys suggest would look best on an E30?
I'm leaning towards Hellrot. :)
If it's of some help it will run on 15'' Ronal Turbo, full tan leather interior, MTehnic I trunk spoiler, Mtehnic I sideskirts, front IS lip.


Note:
I already have a SterlingSilber-Metallic sedan and a Burgundrot-Metallic Baur.

Thanks for your time!

Dark blues are always my favorite on E30s. If you're going for a red then consider Mugello or Henna. The orangey reds always look great on E30s.
