I have always wanted to paint my car lusterless black, with some gloss black tones and silver accents.

Black and purple sound good. You should post some samples of the paint colors.

nice color choices. but if i had to chooose id go with the darker purple just because its not so loud as the other purple and since its dark you have more accent choices to blend with. the satin black is nice to but if i did the satin black id have accents on the body as well the color is to plain to be alone. imo

I swear I just wet myself with those colors. Personally for me I would go with the candyish purple on flat black.

Not a fan of either but I'd choose purple. Flat black is way played out.

Here is a custom purple based off a oem paint. I wanted to make sure that no one could copy it.


Looks black at night, purple when the light hits it and red right before sundown. Best thing to do is work closely with your painter. Have him mix and shoot test strips till you find out what color you like. And keep the birth sheet for later!

What do you mean by accents?

I don't want to be mean, but when I think a two tone paint job with "accents" it ends up looking like Super Street crap from the late 90's.

Or bass boat blue:

Flat black is blah IMO.

Dvp is one of the most beautiful colors that dc2s came in...my vote goes for that if you really insist on having purple.
