Default 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.

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!
