Cayman Blue? It's a Ford colour... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Had it on my Capri, lots of depth to it. Looks darkish blue at night, almost greenish in the sunshine. ![](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/DBevis/Capri_2-1.jpg) (Really poor quality pic, sorry - scan of an old photo!) ***edit*** Found a better pic. ![](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/DBevis/capri-1flat.jpg)

Stop faffing around with the estate and get the van done ;D I can't afford to do the van at the mo that's why I'm doing the estate but your comment has given me an idea for if i can't think of anything else ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Irving Bronze micah......sort of a creamy chocolate metallic. It's a Toyota Avensis colour, granted - but I love it and would love to see it on something unusual.

First thing I thought when I read the question was gold or bronze. I have to say, I think ASBO orange really wouldn't suit it, I think it's too large and slab-sided a car, it would be incredibly overpowering.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

How about Nimbus Grey? ![](http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6593/46416837bc0.jpg) I reckon it'd look awesome with your rims. There's also a light pearlescent blue that you see on Vauxhalls...I don't know the name though. Similar to this Alfa, but a bit further towards silver: ![](http://evolutioncars.net/images/Alfa%20147%20blue.jpg)

Also - although it looks like a 'solid' grey, I am sure that Audi Nimbus Grey is actually a metallic?? The Mk2 Golf at the gathering (sprayed Nimbus Grey) certainly had a metallic to it....
....and is prob one of my fave car colours of ALL time. DO IT!!

Matt black with a brush? lol
I think it should be a nice darker colour, the colour it is now looks really good. Maybe a reaslly shiny, pearlescent (is that the right word?) black. Not matt lol

I can see the estate in a nice burgundy metallic. Can't think of a colour off the top of my head. Maybe like rover nightfire but darker.
