Need help picking a new paint color

I kinda like this look with the red and black...

Yeah I like that two tone GP4 look too. I decided to mix it up a little for the '74 by keeping the top color green.

I've seen a Pantera painted that color, it was for sale at Mayberry's either last year or in 2007 (I'm at that CRS age) and it looked gorgeous. Good choice.

I have been looking at paint color as well. I like the black and color but I have not chosen the color. Dug up a lot of photos to mull over old school themes. I doubt mine will be as straight forward as red/black but I am looking them over. surprising number of variations:

I am having a little time with the solid colors. It just seems to take away from the grit I am looking but I like the way the while lettering breaks this up from the De Tomaso registry:

I'm gonna vote for orange - is this the 'pearl orange' folks have been mentioning?

I think it would look awesome on a widebody cat ... maybe a shade more red in the mix (if they'll do that for you) so you're not copying, but creating your own colour! You don't want to be sitting in traffic looking like all the other supercars!

Sheesh, and I'd made a vow to myself not to talk about politics, religion or car colours when I joined the forum.

Thats what I'm going for. Should be Lambo code LOE2

It might change if someone comes up with a better orange.

Than your car will look like this Swedish badass!
That is a great orange. Lambo has another orange that is not with the brilliant, but a bit more red, and "burnt orange" in it. Have painted a HD tank with it, and will use it on a Countach replica I'm building.

The tank. Here you see how much the color change depending on the light:

Here is the color on a Gallardo.

Exactly but with black below the waist line.
Thanks

WOW! Orange is looking better and better.

Go for a Lambo-color. They are coolest. Here is the name and code for them all: http://www.lambocars.com/pnt/p...19a9c99d058b8e12ae0e

Have bought Blue Caelum for my Pantera. If time permits, I will try to have it painted before this summer. Color here on another Gallardo:

Whatever you decide, please don't do this!!!

Apparently, trying to be "all things to all people" is still being attempted...


Reminds me of those Harlequin VWs

Here's a Lambo orange Pantera that was at Wilkinson's shop last July - Gorgeous car!

A few more...

another...

and another

Here's the one George mentioned.

one more of the same car.
