Well I'm repainting my car as my semester project for my autobody class and I'm planning to stick with the color silver because I'm not planning to paint the engine bay. Well my choice is to repaint it stock color (munich silver) with blue pearls or other silver colors, probably titanium silver from M3?

If you guys know any silver colors, please post (it would be nice with pics and paint codes). I want something a little darker than the A69 (lancer silver)

Thanks in advance


P.S: Remember only silver colors

 

Go to your local auto paint dealer and check out the sample chips they have.... If you are gonna do a pearl, I hope you have a steady, and even stroke with that paint gun. Pearls are a 3 stage process (tri-coat) and the mid-coat (the pearl) can be tricky to keep even over the large, unbroken areas (ie: your hood). I am a huge fan of the pearls though! Good Luck!! I think an M3 metalic silver with diamond white pearl would look pretty sweet myself.

 

The dark grey from the MR, that's a nice color.

 

Well I'm not trying to mismatch from engine bay color. Well does the grey is close to match the munich silver (engine bay, no clear)? Yup that color is very nice.

 

Its a little darker, closer to thunder grey really.

 

Here is the 2005 M3 Titunium Silver. Look pretty nice.

 

mmmmmm M3!!

 

Yup, I will need about 2 quarts to paint the whole car and for that color it will cost around $168 for 2qt ($21 per 8oz/half pint) and I'll have 40% discount since I am autobody student (This autobody supplies store gives discount to student ) I say a total of $300 for everything. Well I will see more silver colors 1st.

 

M3 silver looks nice, especially up close. Post pics before and after pics

 

why would you paint the car a color that it's not. you should just buy the M3 if you want that color. ricer.

J/k that color would look nice.
