Final color choice and I'm stuck between 2!

[SP66]

I think I have decided to go with the grey, although now there is a second grey I have been looking at. Just need to get this thing painted so I can stop looking at 1,000,000 different colors!

1st color: Land Rover Orkney grey
2nd color: BMW Space Grey

Maybe use a Ford color---from the current Mustang

I do like it, but I am looking for something in a little lighter shade.

The Marines have landed and the situation is well in hand ... I have the solution to your dilemma.

I'll be in Vegas immediately and remove the subject of your deliberation from your possession at a fire sale price.

I'll throw in that I like the copper that is on it currently or something similiar to it . Obviously , freshen it up and that would look sweet ... classy AND different.

I always lean to the darker colors , and lipstick red is definitely NOT me at all ... so my vote would be the darker of the greys you like. My favorite thus far being the from the "...and one more" post.

I have always liked the gray on broncos it looks really good. Space gray is nice on the bmw but for some reason that was a color was whatever when I used to work at a bmw dealer imo, personally I think the range rover gray is a better looking color. My dad just got in a brand new 2012 mercedes cl amg at the shop and it is gray it looks amazing hence the pictures below. It is a metallic medium shade gray really pops out nice. If you want like a red or orange shade of paint I would look at the new bmw 1M, it is called valencia orange, looks pretty nice especially when you see it in person. Here is a link to it. There are a lot more pics of it online try to find some with black rims look really god with that color combo. Hope this helps.

Ya the valencia orange is really nice and when you see it in person you will fall in love with it. I have only seen that color once as that color is very rare hence only come on the 1M and there are only like 2000 in the US of those cars made.

Still checking it out. It really changes at different angles and lights. I went to see it in person but the dealership by me did not have one.

GM has/had sunburst orange mettalic and sunset orange mettalic , both similar to the Beemer orange.

One of the members here (70EB) has the sunset on his bronco and it is very sweet. My uncle has one of them on an old Chevy2 / Nova , I was hooked on that color for the longest time after the first time I saw his car.

70EB says the "sunburst" is more orange than his "sunset" color.

The sunburst orange is very close to the BMW orange from what I can tell. In pictures, it looks like the BMW orange is slightly more orange but very close.

Man , I'm telling ya , after seeing that Jeep (above) and recalling how seeing my Uncles Chevy 2 made me feel ... and I can't stress this enough , I dropped every other color I had in mind ... for quite awhile , and I had been hung up on a very dark blue for about 12 years ... still haven't gotten to the body work portion of mine , but I'm getting there soon , now that I make real money.

So , I'll probably make a point of visiting with him before paint time and get a refresher on it

Point is , if you can get out and find that color in person , DO IT ! Maybe it won't strike you like it did me , but regardless , you ought to find a color that "moves" you ... if you know what I mean.

What did you decide on?

 

[fetorino]

Uh, updates? ;D

Long story short...they sprayed the underside and when I showed up the next day it didn't look right. We compared the factory paint chip and it was off by a few shades. They mixed the paint exactly as the computer showed (no alternates to any of the ingredients were listed) and it wasn't right. They ordered a pint premixed from another company and the spray out was even worse! The last week has been spent talking to other paint manufacturers to get the right color. Has me a little worried...
