    cirrus Blue to estoril blue

    Hey, I don't really have photoshop so would you guys mind me asking if you can make this car estoril blue? If it's not a good picture let me know. Car looks different by now btw.

    are you sure thats cirrus? it looks like glescherblau (see: sig)

    cirrus is a bit darker, could just be the lighting

          Took your advice and looked at his car. Don't get me wrong, cirrus is a great color, just not all the time. I have a very small itch to see what the car would look like with a little more blue in it.

              See I want to go blue but still retaining that cirrus lightness about it. I think avus might be just to dark for me. I dunno.

                quickie



                I don't know how close that is to estoril. I still have the .png if you want me to adjust it.

                  Thanks for that sketch up! Estoril might have a darker tint to it perhaps? Like this one:



                  But even in that example could be a tad too dark.

                  But seriously, thanks for taking the time.

                    No problem. I'm snowed in and wicked bored.


                    Closer?

                      Closer?

                      Once again thanks for taking the time. I don't know if its closer, because in the end both pictures are affected by what type of lighting it would seem yet;I'm really liking what direction this could be heading. But the problem is that I'm going to be using Valspar because I get a really good deal for paint and clear through my college. So color matching might be totally screwed by the time I get to the final step.

                        If you are looking for a darker blue that still keeps the softer hue, check out arctic blue. My first e30 was arctic blue, but it was an eta. Though I've never seen it done, I think it would look good on a plastic bumper e30. I personally love the cirrus blue though.

                        Dropped 2 door cirrus blue on 17" Alpina wheels with smoked lenses = :pimp:

                          A quick search turned up this thread about arctic blue. (It's a metallic finish by the way)



                          I don't have any pics of mine because a stupid bitch in a Chevy Tahoe ran a stop sign and totaled it. It now sits in the corner of my warehouse under an inch of dust. :(

                            Wow, the Arktisblau looks spectacular. I do agree how that color looks good with DB's but with some more thought, I would be willing to go that route.



                            amazing car.
