Hot OEM colors??? What's out there?
 

And what are the hot OEM colors out there right now. Who's running OEM rather than some super custom mix?

I'm doing ones like the Subaru blue my '69 was painted and the new Atomic Orange.

What else is hot?

Thoughts?

Also looking for cool silvers and "earth tones"

Good high res shots might get used in the story to illustrate :)

The stripes on my car are painted a BMW color called carbon black. It kinda color changes between black and dark blue depending on lighting... or how dirty the car is.

I have few high res pics at home. I can send them to you if your interested.

Eclipse Bizen Orange on mine

I am using a Toyota burgandy and charcoal colors.

Easy to fix when scratched later.

I really like Honda's Galaxy Gray as seen on Civic Si's

And I wnat to start using colors from sport bike manufacturers. There are some truly mind blowing colors in the two wheel world.

Ton's! I really like Chryslers - Modern Blue Pearl. Has some really cool effects and is much darker in person.

The VW beetle I believe it's called Shadow blue it has some pearl illusion in it. Expensive paint but damn cool.

And you can never go wrong with a "blue black". Mercedes has a super black that is sweet!

Thanks,

Paint codes and pictures.. lol

Anyone with a nice high res of thier car in a hot oem color let me know.. might be able to use in the story.

THanks

I know it's not the flashiest color, but I really like Slenning's color combo on his 69 LS7 Camaro on this site. I also really like the darker metallic blue on the later 4th gen's like 2000+ model years.

Steve's got mine. :D

I think this is a pretty sick factory (GM) color. It is "Sport Red Metallic" and the code is WA817K/63. It may not look right in the light they shot it in, but believe me in the right light it has a really cool purple maroonish look to it.
