Painting My e30 in a week. Any thoughts on colors?

If the car is bronzit....leave it bronzit unless you do the door jams, trunk, engine bay etc. Unless you strip the whole car....its not gonna look good. Bronzit done right...looks great.

He starts monday and should be done thursday or friday, and im only paying him $1300. Hes getting door jams, everything

Oh and the trunk and engine bay?


If you want a different color buy a different car. A car with not great original paint is worth way more then a car with a 1200 dollar color change respray lol.

Updates?

Oh, the suspense!

lol... Definitely can't wait to see what you came up with.

Did you fix the missing front lip?

Who's painting it? I brought mine to Jesse in San Leandro, Bronzit--> Alpine. I've seen pictures so far and it looks fucking great. I'm picking it up Monday. Check out his thread, a few pics are on there.

Just checked his thread, that does look pretty nice. You're not bothered that under hood will be bronzit?

[Rsully70sev]

It was painted black before the S50 went in. So I'm content with that.

Don't do a color change, clean bronzit is dope and rare. Plus aside from you engine bay it looks super tacky when you open and close your doors/truck and its a different color inside. If you do do a color change don't limit yourself to colors that come stock on BMW's let alone e30's. Whats the point. Search there is a e30 painted ferrari red floating somewhere around here. Its dope.

I'd just go with bronzit if you haven't already made up your mind. That's what I'm repainting mine when I get some more money. Note my car was originally that color.

Agree on bronzit, I like it too and wouldn't change it.

I also agree on don't limit yourself to stock BMW colors.

I somewhat agree about not changing colors. I have a car that is 5/6ths Brilliantrot, and I HATE red from an ownership perspective, so I'm leaning towards a color change to something more subtle.

If I had Bronzit, I'd rock it, or a shade of it (Sepang!) so the engine bay wouldn't look completely out of whack.
