need suggestions for a custom color!

alright, well, since my car was keyed, and i need to repaint the ride, i've decided to custom color the cls.

i'm thinking since my car is already black/black, thinking about a metallic/silver in the sun, but looks black at night. .i don't know what type of paint job this is called. it's not those chameleon colors that keep changing at different angles. .

any suggestions? AND NO! no blue, like the sema cls. .

i dont care what you say, Audi blue is the best choice

yellow if you have balls, it actually looks good on the car (ive photoshopped it)

i would do blue or a really deep black, like the lexus GS

In my dreams: 2001 CL Type-S
Right now: 92 Integra

What about "voltage blue." Since the mchtypes fiasco I'm sure everyone on this board would like to see what that color looks like

------------------
Please have a crane drop on my car so I have to buy a new CL-S. But wait till I'm not in the car. Thanks

Hey i know what your talking about. You've just answered one of my all-time questions.

My neighbor drives a Thunderbird with this same type of color your describing. I have always wondered why any 50+ yr old man would re-paint a car this color(because it sure does look custom for ford)

oh well

Personally I would not go with the yellow. I think it would look awesome if you get a real dark black.

Way back when on Honda/Acura.net someone photoshoped a yellow CLS, along with about 15 other colors, and I have to admit the yellow looked absolutely bad-ass! Yeah, it would take some guts to do, but damn, I bet you would get tons of people asking you about it and given props. Do it!

How bout one of these:

BMW: Steel Blue Metallic


TL Owners Custom Paint Job

Sorry... the custom colored TL is owned by Danny (1999TL). He is to TL owners what mchtypeS is (or may be) to us. He has cool shit... but always has an excuse not to show it to anyone... its been months just to get this shitty little pic (and a couple other shitty ones) He tells me hell get bigger pics soon. You can find him on AIM as 1999TL if you have questions bout his paint job.


Aston Martin Green:


New M3 Yellow:


Scarelt I Custom Yellow/Green:

Note: That IS NOT a stock yellow S2000. It is a MY2000 S2k that was in an accident and custom painted a yellow that looks lime green in certain light.... very cool.


Those are my ideas. Have fun

damn you hooked up the pics! hmm, the BMW steel metallic gray looks real clean. that color would be along the lines of what i would get. definately not the green. i don't care if it's on a 911 or not! thanks for the suggestions tho. .
