    Colour change :)

    Okay lads im going ahead with a colour change in next month or 2 so hoping to have the e36 fresh for the summer months, looking for some pics or colours ye think would be sweet for e36 coupe. It's currently orientbleu and I'm looking for a completly different colour to stand out I like too many and can't decide ha.

    Unless you're prepared to completely strip the car down to its bare shell I wouldn't change the colour.

    RE: Colour change :)

    Ah it's on my mind since last year man I stripped the whole car down last year and rebuilt it with all new setup, kind of ran out of money and decided to leave the paint for another time. Only finished off last few month ago and ready for test again only for small electrical bits. Kind of something I always wanted to do so Iv decided to bite the bullet again and go for it this year round.

    Or else I might for a full car wrap and see how it turns out.

    Were you thinking of going for one of the colours from the original 'E36 palette' or any colour from BMW or otherwise? Sometimes newer colours available now that were not available at the time suit older cars.

    Would you consider a pearl paint as opposed to a metallic? Was on fb yesterday and some blonde swedish totty was doing hers in a pearl midnight purple. Think lp2 or something was the paint code. Think techno violet on steroids. Looked savage and you wont see too many pearl paint jobs either.

    Yeah man Id go for anything really if I could just get a few names and paint codes so I could see them and maybe photoshop the car to the color and see what Roughly I'm looking at . I like the sound of that Venom I must go have a look. Just want something out of the ordinary as I'm going for it.
