Okay what color should I paint my FC vert. I need some advice here, it is currently red and I like it red but what do you guys think? I thought of a dark silver. I need options though. Currently I'm doing a TII swap in her and plan on 17 or 18" rims with a good thick lip, and maybe, maybe a kit... still debating, also having a custom vented hood made for it...

A dark silver would look awsome with the black top. I have mine a deep blue, but I still have a few things to work out before paint. What about black with a grey pearl in it?

import_rican

never thought about that color, you have an examples.

gun metal grey looks great.

Since '90 I have had 3 S5's. 2 white and one silver. Biased here, but bar none I prefer the white. To me, the white vert (my current 7) with the black top is the best looking and sexiest. Reaks of class and style.

BLACK! My vert is black, beautiful. I think black is the nicest color but hard to keep clean.

^^ agreed black is nice

I'm looking for a really discreet clean look, white is nice but I had a white camaro and only associate negative vibes with white cars.

again black is really nice but too many black cars; want stand out but not really, only stand out to a car enthusiat's (sp) eye; not the teenage girl that wants a bling bling car.

Actually I prefer red the least of all colors, its just what I wound up with.



The white looks AWESOME on an s5 car...white moldings, white body, blacked out top and windows and tires..ooooh.









IF I were considering a color change, I'd go with brave blue, it's very rare, a mix of black and blue. Looks awesome when done right. (the first one looks like brave blue, its hard to tell on a monitor...the second one definitely is, I have seen it in person)





Another awesome, rare stock color, harbor blue metallic:



IF you were considering something wilder, electric blue is always nice.

blue / gun metal

wow awesome looking verts! I have always loved your red vert though, but man, I never knew white could look so good on vert!

gunmetal would be nice, but do you mean with a mixture of the two colors?

While the coupes look good in most colors, I think the convertible looks best in medium-light colors as you get the contrasting black vinyl top & dark tail lights against the lighter color paints.

My personal favorites OEM colors on the vert are nobel white, R1 yellow, and Mica Blue.
