Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I'll be respraying me car in the next few months, step by step as i only have time one day a week.This weekend i'm going to fit the wings back on so i thought i might aswell paint them the final colour i want the car before i fit them.Gonna smooth out all the grooves and make a very subtle fit for it too.I have X-Power Grey (MG Colour) in mind, but I want some more colour suggestions before i make this decision!Pics showing examples would also be nice Thanks for reading!

Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Tempting but i'll leave that for you to do to yours!! Quote

Nanglebadger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 gun metal grey, so pretty much the colour u have in mind tbh mate! i.e. a metallic grey, awesome!Phil. Quote
Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Anybody ever seen a Grey N/A?If not, X-Power Grey it is! Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 it has to be a dark, rich, luxurious metallic grey dude, pure bolt gun metal / gun metal grey, nearly anthracite but not quite.Phil. Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 alfa romeo aurora nuvola.thats what i had my showcar sprayed in. it looked stunning. i added tiny 200mircron sized holographic flake to liven it up in sunshine, its a lush colour, looks silvery creamy in shade, then in sunlight turns a mad mettalic skyblue with gold tinges.its the only iridescent colour alfa romeo do. i used variant 3 of the paint colour. along with 1/2 litre of gold pearl ontop. with 4 litres of laquerlooked stunning. ill get a photo up.

Nanglebadger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 i remember pictures of the car of which craig speaks, the colour was indeed sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt!!!Phil. Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Thanks phil, when did you see pictures of it haha. i have the memory of a gold fish Quote
Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 I'd like to see pics aswell please! I don't want it looking on the chav side - no offence to your show car or anything though.This is exactly what i have in mind: Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 the color looked better in real life. my camera wasnt too great at the time.forget that its on a saxo lol that colour was amazing. im going to be getting the glanza done in that colour but without the flake. Quote
Sparky Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Yea i know that colour seen it on a few alfas, looks like a really light blue with a little flip of gold isn't it it when the sun hits it....really nice I say the gunmetal grey on Skylines, looks darker than X-power grey At the end of the day mate though its your car so its up to you!!! Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 yeah that gunmetal skyline colour is niice.but then again so is the midnight purple Quote
Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Somebody also mentioned midnight purple on tgtt.Riko kindly did a shop for me:I think maybe something a little darker?The Skyline Gunmetal sounds cool too, any pics? Quote
Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 I think its put me off abit, but it might look better in reality? Quote
SiCaln Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 in all honesty i dont htin that colour is anywhere near right, it looks more like dirt sorry guys - but i think your choice of colour will look very good Quote
Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 I thought the same Si, its abit too dull or something.Well its either the X-Power, or a darker Gunmetal. I'm going to my local paint shop on the weekend and i'll get a few testers that i can try out on the wing! Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 craig, u posted a pic of the saxo when u were sellin the holoflake AGES ago!!! thats when i saw it!! looks class man!!! should be real different on your starbo!!! good call mate!!! good call!!!Yeah those chops dont do the colour justice, search for pics of the skyline in the grey colour and just use your mind to picture it on the starlet dude, would look awesome!Phil.

paul w Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 wheres the skyline purple? looks shitty primer colour to me! I like the GT grey that some come in,or if you wanna stand out seat ovni yellow is lush but difficult to match! Quote
Idrees Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Its going to be Grey, not sure exactly which shade yet though! Quote
olive Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Heres our skyline when it was gunmetal grey(sorry if this pic turns out huge)I love this colour though (this was my bf's brothers Pulsar) Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 st orange needs black rims and carbon goodness to look decent Quote
Idrees Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 Made up my mind, well nearly..I saw a 2005 Polo in a dark metallic Grey today, really loved it, so i'm going to ring VW for the paint code tomorrow and order a tester.Also beautiful is the Grey that the Lexus IS200 comes in - I'll get a tester of that too and decide from there!
