Any matte color is cool. Paint it the matte white. U had the idea to start with. And everyone talks of resale after paint. Color change or not, any paint work ruins resale. Any good ppi includes a paint meter.

Back to it. Do the matte white. F the resale

ok. have a few days to #$%& or get off the pot.

matte whites seems way to played out and fo "player" figures... dont really wanna fall in that category.

im thinking
obviously i dont care much for picking a paint...

burnt orange like the 1m bmw.
mexico blue or riv blue
matte cobalt blue(extreme mettalic)
rs green.
or steve mcqueen grey



thanks in advance.

heres a pic of the car. have clear leds now.
those are my top pics. as of now.

i know the colors are loud but ive had a black car for 4 years

While I love the Aqua Blue, white is a very forgiving color on a car. It always seems to look good with enough care. Just my experience.

RS Green or Signal Green would look amazing on the GT2!

Did you already have the whole car stripped? Because if not, I'd be hesitant to take perfectly good factory paint off the undamaged panels. It's just so difficult IME (some say impossible) to get the same finish and quality of factory paint from a respray, no matter how good the painter...

i like the stock grey but to common for my liking. also really like the lime green. im leaning toward the rs green/signal green so far. limes a second. any noticable pics of the difference between rs green and signal green? i think someone mention one had a yellow hue and the other a blue hue. EEK btw is the lime rs still for sale?

you also have to factor in that some of those are water-based paints.
