    BMW Achatgrunmetalic - Detail shots

    I've got a prety unusual coloured e30, so I thought I'd share some older shots that were taken after a nice detail.
    (it's original paint BTW)
















    And please no comments on the lights. Yes I know you all hate them but I liked them, I've changed back to OEM, so deal with it :up:

    enjoy!

        Cheers mate. Yes He does. Although in all honesty... it wasn't worth it, not on a 25yo car. The results just weren't that much more than I could achieve at home. You could still see swirls in the paint if you looked hard. Not doubting his skills, the paint is just too old.
        It was a stage 3 BTW.

              needs some better lightING... looks like an interesting color but it is hard to tell exactly how it looks.

              i used to have those tailights btw... i dont think they are that bad!

                That is good lighting. A warehouse full of fluro lights..
                Trust me even in the sun you'll be like "you need better lighting we cant see the colour" lol
                It's just one of those you have to see in person.
                These photos give it pretty good credit though.

                In different lights:

                      Wow man, that is a beautiful color. I have a friend who has a euro bumpered E28 M5 in that same color. It looks amazing in different lights. The taillamps seem like such small potatoes when you see the color.

                      Beautiful!

                          Final Inspection is the company that detailed the car. These photos are straight off their online gallery. (The listed my car as an "e36 318is" lol!)

                              I found an early E28 euro car in the junkyard that was the same color. It's absolutely beautiful in person. Congrats on a rare color!
