My E30 Painted

[iamsam]

I kinda like the paint. Sell me your Borbet T's. I want them.

Your car is different, I like that. My few opinions are, white wheels with a chrome lip, euro bumpers, and maybe a delphin stripe in the blue just below the white, but a bit thicker than previously advised. Maybe 1.5 or 1" tapered to .5". Smoked smiley's and smoked tails. Ditch the e30 tech sticker, roundel sticker, and don't bother with putting the r3v one on her. Put it on your trapper keeper instead.

lol i aint in school so that doesnt help, but my tails are smoked, euro bumpers are coming, and roundel sticker will be coming off it way too big and i aint feeling it.

i was thinking about a stripe but i don't know what color to go with. i was going to do yellow b/c of my motor, but the motor is going to be gone soon. going m50. i had some people say do lime green, i like the chameleon idea. wheels are going to be white.

^^^^^^ much better IMHO

agreed. Do the pinstripes for sure. It helps to transition between the 2 colors. Without some kind of visual aid to help the eye adjust from one color to the other, it ends up looking awkward and 'block-y'

So yeah, back on the paint scheme:

I like the suggestions of white stripe in the blue, definitely like the idea of white wheels, no matter what they are, they should be white...but here is a suggestion on the pinstripe: Use a tapered stripe, about 3/4" in the rear, tapering down to 1/4" in the front, just a small stripe. Do it in silver, or even silver/blue pearl, maybe even chameleon paint...just a bit mind you...but obviously, you are looking for something different here than most guys are. I know I don't care for two-tone, but it isn't my car!

So go ahead and rock something different, but do the best quality of work you can. Don't give up now!

Nice yard

I sense some brother/sister marriages happening out there.

But I like the paint scheme...different and clean.

[KillaCams]

It's different not my really my taste though, if you painted the entire car that blue it would have been tits. Props on the HUGE amount of progress you've made on this car though, definitely alot more than i've made on my car lol

I like it with the white pinstripe. Either way - it's your car. To be honest when you came on here I thought your car would never go anywhere. I'm really impressed by your progress.

I like it. I think we need some different schemes in the e30 commmunity, and you are doing precisely that. I bet you all will shut right up if he throws a set of rs's on it, hehe.

someone put a blue pinstrip just above the blue part, so there is a blue in the white and a white in the blue.

how would that look?
