That's what I'm doing. A) Easier and cheaper to do right because it isn't a complete color change that requires painting the door jambs, engine bay, and trunk. B) You get to keep the awesome Delphin Metallic ;)

black, white, and zinno(red) are the 3 best colors on the E30 IMO..

that


But in all reality a color change done right is a huge PIA (ie. pull engine, windows all of them, all the trunk lining, get the pic yet) To change the color and not have it look stupid when you pop the hood trunk open the door or anything.

Just respray in Delphin its one of the best colors on a e30 anyway

Delphin's a purdy color. As mentioned above, it's definately the easier of all paint choices. I've always been partial to Diamond Schwarz Metallic as well, but again, re-spraying the whole car is a pain and a half. The funny thing about full re-sprays is always the reassembly. I mean, unless your skilled and versed in removal/installation of major components of the car, it's almost garunteed that you'll scuff/scratch/rub something on the brand spankin' new paint. Which always, always makes you go x1000.

Good luck with the re-spray! Get some pictures up. I'd love to see the process and/or before-afters.

haha yeah. well when i bought the car it was an inside garage outside garage kind of car from what i was told. the trunk, engine bay, inside the doors were in still very good condition. alot cheaper to just respray like said above. im a college student so im not made of money xD will probably post the pictures of the before and after. hopefully early january this will all go down! :)
