purple and orange will look so last year.

that was all the rage in the 70s and a few years later people would just shake their heads and wonder what the owner was thinking when they ordered a metallic orange car...

i like red2 or stock. those colors will age well.

Are you just speculating? Do you HAVE a car you want to paint? If so, what color is it now? Because I have seen a lot of people repaint cars some color totally different than what is on it without doing the whole thing, i.e. inside fenders and engine bay, etc. and that just looks like ***.

Someone had posted a pic of their white FD but you could see it was originally silver in one pic where the hood was up....disgusting!

Purple, maybe a tad darker. Just do it right which will run you extra cash.

His car is MB 93. the paint will be done right. all the jambs and under the hood but the rest of the engine bay will wait till we pull the motor. He just has to decide what color he wants and he has gone back and forth over about 5 colors for 2 weeks.

Blueskaterboy has a very simily paint job to Red2, you could probably PM him for pics, he also has a 99spec nose on it.

He has something like "stage 2 candy apple laser red with gold flake" I dunno, just thought I'd help out!
