| Considering a color change... |
Subject: Considering a color change... by CSS996 on 2009/3/27 16:12:28 OK, so my Ruby already has had some crappy paint work. It is hard to see, except in direct sunlight. My paint guy said there are three shades of paint in the GM catalog that are called "Maple" something. And it looks like the factory color was one of the darker shades, and the repairs were made in one of the lighter shades. It bothers me to see it. Now, the back of my car will be repainted because of my fender bender, and it seems like a good time to just have the whole care painted. That got me thinking... I really like the Ruby color, but since I have the opportunity to change it, I might as well at least think about it. So What do you think of these? And bear in mind that my interior is the Ruby color, so whatever color I choose (probably the original ruby color) it has to go with the ruby interior. I'm not gonna rip all that out. Anyway, here are some things I'm considering. That dark blue metallic color from the early C4 (which I could not re-create very well)  The Silver/Gray two tone that I love on the early C4:  And one of the slightly brighter Ruby reds:  This is the original color. A little darker red:  I guess doing a color change on a Ruby is probably some kind of sacrilege. But if the car is worth nothing now, then how much harm could I do? So... Thoughts? Ideas? I'll probably stay with the original color, or maybe go just a shade brighter, but I figured I'd play with the idea a little. |
