CubbyChowder finally got a BMW 2002 - it's project time

[Miroteknik]

Yeah you could to all these pastel/metallic/flat hipster colors and it'll be awesome for a year or,

You could paint it white/cream/oem and it will be timeless.

What about this grey?

I really like the solid grey look, and have actually considered going that route as well. The brown on the other hand is not my style. Brown would need to be metallic

No please don't make it brown! What about techno violet? (The purple bmw colour i'm not so sure about the colour names)

I'm partial to purple, don't think I could go through with that. Thanks for the suggestion though!

How about Lago blue or Miami blue?

Would be going along with the Rabbit flare theme .

Awesome 2002 dude!

I actually really like both of those colors, I'll keep those in mind. Thanks!

What about this grey?


or this brown

[CubbyChowder]

kinda the same color as the license plate?

factory color closest to that is turkis i think but its a bit pale compared to that.

that and the black would be sick!

Kind of, but with a bit more green in it. It's more of a turquoise. That Turkis color is a bit too metallic for me. If I were to go with a color like this, I'd want it to be a solid color, like the one I showed. That Turkis is nice though!

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post them up, I'm open to all options!

No weekend update?

Unfortunately no weekend update, sorry! Been busy with other stuff

you need something to go with the black rims, malaga is a big no,

but hennarot maybe woudnt be too bad

golf yellow and black wouldnt be bad either maybe not golf but some yellow
(personally **** yellow car tho

ooh and the 2002's and csl's had that bright green color im not sure if was tiaga or mintgrun but that would be awesome. one of the best things about these cars is the colors they came in. id say stick with a factory color.

I've been tossing around a Robin's Egg blue color lately, like this:

This build is an inspiration to quality self made cars, really good to see you doing it all yourself the best you can! it inspires me greatly Subbed.

Thank you!

do you want to go with some metallic or solid paint? some old style color matching your cars era or modern stuff?

I'm open to either really, I go both ways all the time. I'm still very undecided. I will probably end up going a metallic color but I am definitely open to other options.

idk about malaga. i think with the flares and drop AND black wheels, I would go something lighter so you can really see the curves/ awesome work done. But, it is your car, so choose whatever you want. just dont choose inka.

Haha you just perfectly summed up my thoughts. My main reason for not choosing Malaga is because it's too dark, I agree that I need to go with something lighter to show off all the curves and have some contrast to the wheels. I've been thinking about a nice darkish silver/light charcoal metallic color, don't really have any examples, I can just imagine it in my mind. A small part of me wants to go a pastel/solid Tiffany blue type of color, but it would take a lot for me to follow through with that. I have so many different ideas for the color, but there is a 100% chance that it won't be inka, it's just totally not my style.
