    I need your input guys!! '89 325is full strip and repaint color options.

    So I own a bodyshop guys and I am stripping my e30 and doing a color change and its going to be a type of red without a doubt in my mind. Always wanted a red e30. Now I'm deciding whether its going to be henna(e30 m3) red or just any other red I like. It's currently bronzitbeige metallic. Let me know what u guys think.

                    Yeah I was leaning towards Henna myself. Any other ideas? I will definitely post up pics of the finished product for all your approvals lol

                        Have you looked at Nason Ful-Thane 2K Urethane 400-47 Holly Red. I took mine down to the factory primer. Sprayed it twice with epoxy primer, blocked it until it was flat. Sprayed a final coat of epoxy primer, wet sanded to 500 and sprayed three coats of Holly Red using a GFG-670 with a 1.4. It is a wonderful color.

                          Fresh Brilliant looks godly, zinno and henna are both really nice too, but Henna is really rare, so I'd go with that.

                              personally prefer henna on early cars and zinno and calypso on late cars.
                              if you go to the link in my sig you will see what i did for a color change and media blasting. i would never do it again
