Default Color Choices: Painting My Car! CL INPUT NEEDED PLEEASE!

As beautiful as Black Onyx is, I'm having my car painted this week and I wanted to paint it a color that isn't an OEM choice and is easy(easier) to maintain then black. If you guys have pictures of examples that would be of huge help to me.

Thanks in advance!

NEON PINK!! You read my mind!!

I've never had an appetite for blue cars except for Ultra Sonic Blue, which is the only OEM color I'm considering. What do you guys thinks?

Wow! I think I'm in love. This might be it. Thx WINDEX!!

I'm getting LC818's, and was going to get them in black chrome or powder goat them gunmetal 32% semigloss. But with ATHLETE SILVER, do you guys think Satin Black is my best bet?

That gray would be amazing, I like the fact it's between Silver and SGM.


Also: check this gray 330i

I like it, kinda different.

Reminds me of silly putty...You know when you take the pink one and the blue one and mix it together...Looks good!

You can always try getting super silver (i'm a huge fan!) from the current gt-r's...

Go with a color no one has done before. Do the gunmetal color from the GTR
