87 325is Paint "space gray" vs Alpine White

[dcody619]

So I am painting bronzit 87 325is(diving board bumper) later this week but I still can't decide whether I should go "space gray" or alpine white II? Any input would be greatly appreciated...

Here is "space gray":

Made a poll!

I ruled out delphin gray(but I still like it)...

Repaint it Bronzit, as one color on the outside and another on the inside = FAIL

Fresh Brozit looks bad ass any way.

Im picking up a bronzit soon and the paint is fucked. I cant spend to much money on it so i might just go with a mat back, Even tho a buddys car just got re sprayed with bronzit OMG is SEX on wheels!!

[call me jack]

i voted space gray, only because i like delphin so much

leave it bronzit

bronzit or alpine. the space grey looks good on newer cars but i think would look like shit on an e30

Every bronzit ive ever seen looks like shit and im sure its cuz the paint is f'd. Im scared to invest in it and hate it...

And i will be painting under the hood, in the trunk, pulling off fenders but im not sure about inside the cabin.

And i like the delphin gray but wanted new so i figured space gray...

Any pics of a nice bronzit???

This is the first time I've seen your car mr sleeve. About time. I like those wheels and low status. And that bronzit isn't terrible... but not my first choice.

OP, if your'e doing door jams and everything else, and do some more modern touches (motor, wheels, interior) then I thinks space grey could look pretty sick.

I agree that car looks good and thank you for the pics but it's just not my cup of tea I guess even in great condition...

And yes this whole week has been removing all trim around doors and windows, the trunk is clear inside and out, lights are all out, tomorrow will be clearing sides of engine compartment. Yes door jams will be done...paint will stop at carpet.

I am having some trouble finding the clips for my early diving board IS valance...anyone help?

Yeah, too bad I sold it this spring. I miss my car :( But the little woman needed a better mode of transport, and I needed the funds, so the hunt is on here in 6 months or so after I get back to work, and my truck is paid off, and get another SUV for a work ride so I can retire my truck form DD status before is wore out. Then its time to find another e30 prolly look for a good southern Swapped, in Delphin or Lasch this time, but will not hesitate to get bronzit again.
