    Don't do a color change.

      It might look good on these pics, but it's pretty bad in person, and I don't really like the bronzit. Want to try something different

        Mine went from Bronzit to Sparkling Graphite to Brilliantrot

        You should do Alpine White

        If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

          I really like that graphite color, and I like alpine white, but most the people with e30s in my city, have or had alpine white e30s Lol

              Unless you are also pulling the engine to paint the bay, don't color swap. Cars that have a non-matching engine bay are a no-no.

                All your door jams, engine bay and other misc parts of the car will be different color... will not look good. Of course if you are stripping it to bare shell and spraying EVERYTHING, its a different story.

                  Well im doing a swap by Upcoming summer, so I will just paint the bay then. I guess I can deal with it for a couple months

                        My dad has an Interlagos blau e46 M3. Looks great on that car, idk how it would be on an e30 though.

                        You made this thread before and I'll say my vote again-Imola. That's what my car would get if i ever repainted it, but that's largely because it's already red.
                        The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                          He didn't say don't paint it. He said don't do a color change. I totally agree.
