    What Color is This

    Hi I found a color on an e30 and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it was. I am also looking at getting a gallon of Burgundy Metallic. My car was Burginsumthin from the factory and I would like to stay close but have it pop more, so that's the reason for metallic. I am including a link to the paint, it's not House of Kolor but I have sprayed quite a few bikes with it and one 7 years ago still looks great.



    The picture is the car I would like identified if anyone can thx.

                  I am considering it heavily, I won't do it till spring because I am sure the majority of my funds will go to the bills, 4 kids and the wife. But I already have plenty of paper and a brand new gallon of Dynafill (doubt I will need it no dents in the car). So I am going to start on prep and hopefully I can smack it this spring.

                    I may go a little darker and try to get close to the factory because the interior paint is perfect. I have a dark cherry color that is also metallic, here is a car painted with the exact paint and color I would use. I am thinking this would be better to match closer to the original interior color.

                          Idk it's starting to look purple to me lol. I may just throw some metal flakes in the stock Burg and shoot it.

                            Holy shit Kronos, sorry to thread jack but thank you guys so much. My car is supposed to be Calypso but it's really more orange and I figured they just used some custom color or mixed the paint wrong but I'm almost positive it's Sierrarot. I didn't even know that color existed.
                            Thank god, R3V was getting boring since the ginger kid wrecked his car. - Stonea
