Not real sure what the name of the color is. When it went to the paint shop, it was suppose to be Intense Blue Pearl, but it came out closer to Medium Blue Metallic.

Does anyone have a closeup of the K3 Sunbeam Silver Metallic? Mine was originally that color, but it was resprayed at Maaco by the DSPO and faded to ****...

I wanna see if it has the little sparklies in it...

I like the little sparklies in it.. Not one of those paint jobs like on a boat or something, but like on newer cars if you look into the paint, it has little flakes of metal or mica in it.

Is K3 still available? I heard that they don't make it any more.

Thanks! Yeah, that's factory paint. It's a pretty rare color me thinks. All the other brown rex's I've seen are much darker or more golden brown. I just painted the wheels and that really tied the car together with the black accents.

I like yellow my self, but all the cars above look great as well. If I had to chose another color, I would have to say silver.



Allthough I just painted my car I want to go orange next time.http://pittdp.homestead.com/files/side_viewa.JPG

There's two of that color brown in the scrap yard near me. Both 84 GS'es... Too bad they're rare, cause I'm gonna have to hack one up.

If they're 13-inch, what are they, how much $, and where can I find a set?
I have an '85 GSL (limited edition, not an SE) the same shade of silver, but the stock 4X110 rims are butt ugly.

Those appear to be Kosei K1's... They are available in 4x110 from www.tirerack.com .
