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

[244Brick]

What about this grey?


or this brown

[StanceDatSucka]

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

[Steve.]

How about Lago blue or Miami blue?

Lago:


Miami (a little darker) :


Would be going along with the Rabbit flare theme .

Awesome 2002 dude!

[CubbyChowder]

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

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

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

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.

I've heavily considered that color, it looks really nice.

I'm staying away from white/cream, just doesn't suit my taste. I'm just trying to find a color that I enjoy most, not really concerned about if it will be cool to the general public in 2 years or not

Choosing a colour is one of the harder parts of a build in my mind because when you've spent so much time and money on prepping the exterior and the mechanical parts it would be a shame to pick a colour you don't entierly like yourself.

For example earlier i thought techno violet would look great but the more pictures & videos of techno violet beemers i realise that it probably wouldn't look to good on a classic BMW, it's a colour for more modern cars.

But i've been thinking of other colours and what about the same shade of orange as the GULF race car liveries? on a swedish forum (yes i'm from sweden) i follow a BMW 1602 build and the car is the oem orange and it looks really good and i think it would look good with the black wheels. Here you have a link to the 1602 build

Forgot to add that the most amazing part about the paint on the 1602 is that it has been sitting for 15 years accumulating dust and when he rinsed it of it looks like new!

Marrakesh Brown?

[zumjosh]

I considered Valencia Orange as a possible color for my E30 but I decided to go with a grey. Maybe Valencia would look good on an E10.

[SuperMegaDeathRay]

how about a solid darker blue like jesse james mercury is...



or oem atlantikblau



or oem nevada

[CubbyChowder]

I'm actually really diggin that Nevada color, might have to look into that a bit.

[dgoizo]

Been gone for a minute. Really like Nevada, but I could go for those lighter blues as well. Anxious to see what you go with

[Brian.]

That Nevada color is spot on the money. If I had a '02 I think i'd go Nevada. Unf <3
