Question FD Car Paint Colour Suggestions

Hi all,
Finally saved up some cash to repaint the car. The car is black right now and i'm thinking of painting the car something catchy. Looking at Metalic orange/Red/Maroon? Anybody have pics of their cars in the colours mentioned above? TIA.

Dave

If and When I am comfortable with the power & reliability, I will paint my car the spirit r gray/gunmetal combo....
I think it's nice, not too flashy, and still very recent

I have the same color as the pic. It looks awsome in person. I pretty much cause traffic jams when I drive my car.

Thanks all for their feedback. I'm very tempted to go with the Lambo orange but i bet my local painter here wont have a clue to what the colour code might be.
The blue looks good but me wifey wants to paint in bronzy red coz she says it looks sleek on the car.

Pink----> No way dude. In a country like malaysia you'd be lucky if they match any colour code correctly let alone painting it some off pink.

Please keep the pics coming. TIA.

Regards,

Dave

What blue is that...nice and bright, yet dark at the same time.

I'm getting that color, or one very similar this winter. Mercedes has "Carribbean Blue" on it's SLK vert. That's choice #1.

Does your wife want a bronzy red like this? (I think this is a great color, I'm not sure how it would look on a FD but it would probably look really hot.)
