Simple thread premise: Post interesting or good paint colours which come on modern cars and which could work when applied to our sort of ting. If you have examples then even better! Seat Canica Blue: _files/Media/IMGP1977/IMGP1977.jpg) BMW Urban Green:  And on a tasty civic:  Nissan's similar Moss Green:  Ford Stealth Grey:  Fiat Indie Cream:  Come on, show us what you've got... *n |

My mate has had his Mk1 Escort painted in BMW Marrakesh brown metallic. Looks awesome. The car isn't built yet and I have no pics of the shell but here's an A4 I found in the same colour:  The purists got upset because apparently Tawny Brown should have been sufficient  |

Son of a Gun is not bad, it's a new GM colour. It is road-coloured though, which I normally avoid for safety reasons.   |

I work at a Renault dealership, some good colours on the Captur (and in the whole Renault line-up in fact), but it desperately needs some new ones, apart from the additions of Flame Red and white, the colour line-up is pretty much the same as when it was launched nearly 3 years ago, getting kinda boring now.
As with Flame red, looked amazing when I saw it on the first Clio4 in 2013, but now its available on every model its lost some of its 'wow' factor - especially as every other car we stock order seems to be painted in it 
Most popular colour for the Captur though seems to be Ivory- usually with a black roof. Will always remember when one of the salesmen sold his mum a Megane CC limited edition in Ivory - he got a bit upset when I referred to the colour as 'Austin Montego Beige'  |

Had this for a year, painted in new MINI blue, I think, whatever it's called.  I love blue cars, but was in two minds then and two minds now. |

Marrakesh brown from BMW has been used on several of their older models. A mate of a mate of a mate had a E30 in it, sold recently.  I was researching what colour to paint my Regata a few months ago and I'm currently seeing if Fiat Smooth Mint is the one  and Volare Blue is nice too  |
