Author Topic: Fresh E30, what colour to repaint? (Read 5797 times)

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.
