Default New build color..

Ok, hopefully this thread doesnt go downhill at all, but I would like some help with choosing the new color for my SC's new build that will be finished est. 03/2010.


1. Hot Rod Passion Purple Pearl (matte finish)



2. Daytona Blue Metallic (again, matte finish)



3. Vintage Burgundy Pearl (and you guessed it, matte finish)



I will be keeping the TT wheels, and this paint will be coupled with a 97+ conversion and some carbon goodies. The TT wheels will be powder coated according to the paint but will not be the same color.

Also if someone has some PS skills, feel free to PS all three colors for me on a 97+ SC with TT wheels, but its not needed.

And yes I have a thing for matte paint, always have and figure with the engine build plans that are in the works, I will have the numbers to go with the color...the rest of the plans are staying a secret till the car is complete

too expensive..putting the majority of the money into completing the heart of the build.

All 3 colors listed above are going to cost less than $200 for everything, just need to decide on a color. but seeing as how the vintage burgundy has a majority of the votes, it seems my decision is made..

now time to decide what color for the TT wheels

exactly what I was thinking..but on top of all of this I need to keep the cost of dyno time factored in, so the wheels will be the last thing on the list right now.

I cant find the color right now (its 1am for me) but I say go with the new dark red more burgandyish/ candy type that comes on the new IS and GS i think that color is so nice and its an oem color with no pearl and no candy. I have talked to a few painters and they too have mentntioned to me about how nice of a factory color it is


EDIT : I found a pic this is Passnu2 car very clean 3GS its called Matador Red
