Out of my own experience...

Exterior / Fresh E30, what colour to repaint?

« 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!

My dad, neither Iam are car painters.
Instead my dad is a master car mechanic (I dont know if you actually call it master in english).
The tires were painted at his company.
It is a neon color, meaning depending on daytime (lightning) the color looks alittle different, at night its more like dark orange, while when the sun is shining it really looks bright.
About your point, yes alot of people look at it.
That for sure is not the reason I chose that color.
Instead Im just a big fan of the color orange.
I thought about painting the car in black, but im not certain yet.

Thank you for your comment.

What colour is it now? Sterling-Silber?

WOW! How on earth did you manage that? How hard was it to integrate the haltech? Completely stock?!?!?!?!

With very good fine tuning and lots of patience.
It was a bit tricky until I managed to get wiring done. After that a friend did the proper maps.
Now I'm runing 0.6bar / 0.87 PSI. I think I can go 0.8bar / 11.6 PSI.
Sorry for the thread high jack.

What turbo do you have now and what turbo do you want? In what rpm range do you want boost?
I have a T3/T4@0.6bar and I have boost in the upper range (2nd gear from 4500, 3rd from 4000, etc.). Redline is 6800rpm.
