740i_Lou 5 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 I agree. Especially if its the M3 you were fixing up. Cars are always more sought after in their original colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellicose 9 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 Calypsorot Metallic That's saying something because i hate reds. But they seem to suit E30s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 I don't want to seem like mr negative here but I'm pretty sure Diamantschwarz is quite a desirable colour for E30's…So if you re-paint in the original colour it will - be a heck of a lot cheaper - a heck of a lot easier - have much better resale value. my 2c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 Seeing as you need to ask a forum what colour to paint YOUR car I think pink would be best. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slideways 44 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Diamanteschwarz for sure. Unless youre planning on keeping the car forever and stripping it right down and doing it properly. It wont be original though and it will kill it in my opinion. The tech 1's were only offered in limited colours it seems and seeing one another colour would look odd to me. My initial thought when seeing it would be that its not a genuine tech 1 and has just had the kit and badges stuck on. Really depends if you want to keep the car looking quite original or not.
