Painting the E30, Color recomendations.

[Jonny Cash]

Over the weekend we've started to prep the car for paint. The car was originally B-rot, but is almost completely faded off.

I want to keep it a red BMW color code. But Im kinda torn between a few. I really like hellrot, but never seen it on an E30.

Suggestions?

Imola....

or Henna, I love henna.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Barber, or Crimson Red from the 1 series.

Crimson is good, Imola is better ;)

calypsorot or burgundrot

Depends how much work you want to put into it. If you keep it Brilliantrot it will be less work (you wont have to take all the panels off to respray the jambs). But the excitement of a full color change respray is pretty cool when its your own car and not doing the work on someone elses.

calypsorot or burgundrot

Those are nice.

But Im more of a fan of a "please pull me over!!!" type red.
