    Stella: Imola Red l Mtech 2 l Mfest Build Journal

    Hello all, just wanted to share with you a brief journey of Stella and I. Pictures are taken off of my iphone 3g so please excuse the quality! She started off alpine white.. Just now getting around to having the paint done by a local shop. Color I chose was Imola Red 405, hope you like it. Cheers :)

                    Maybe to check for dents/waves. Or maybe to make the red pop look more vivid. In my time as a painter I always used a olive drab color under red for easy coverage.

                    Op you are doing it right! Best oem red bmw has.

                        Looking good so far! Let's see it finished!

                        Btw, what are your wheel specs?

                            In for this. Red Mtech coupes are some of the best looking E30's.

                              IMO, Imola is the best BMW color...for anything.
