Default Paint opinions *POLL*

I told myself a while ago I wouldnt start one of these poll's, but now Im really stuck on what colour to choose, so thought it wouldnt hurt to see what others think.

I decided on black, but after seeing a few really nice looking grey/gunmetal cars around lately im back to square one and dont know what to choose. I need a bit of motivation to decide on a colour.

The car will be rolling on bronze wheels as soon as the paint is done (wheels are ready to go on the car).



or



Let me know what you think

I really like the black. If you want to go with grey/gunmetal, i'd go with a darker color for your car, like a good mix between the two.

I love gunmetal, but it needs to be pretty dark imo.

Bronze on black = sex

Thanks guys, keep the opinions coming.

I did make the grey to light when I chopped it. It would probly be a bit darker than what is shown.

Another reason I was thinking Black was because they EG sedan never came out on the factory in japan as Black. They did do a charcoal black (greyish black), but not a nice deep black.

They did do a gunmetal.

So if I go black, I know it will be quite unique.

Ok, Ive decided on Black, Ive got the painter to do me a whole heap of black swatches (on card) so I can see which black I will choose.

At this stage im thinking "Obsidion black metalic" which is the Black in the mercedes range. It is said to be the blackest black out there. Im not really into pearls so it sounds good

Anyone else know of any nice ones?

Off the top of my head im guessing people will say, bently black, or nighthawk black.
