I have not been in contact, not sure where he's at on the car. I've been paying the local paint supplier to fill spray paint cans on different colors so I can spray them out on something larger than a paint chip. At $50/can it's getting expensive fast.

Still looking for THE brown, something like my altered rendering. That is likely going to be something custom mixed. I also really like some of the darker browns, I'll know it when I see it.

Finally figured out how to Photoshop to a darker brown without making everything in the pic darker, it's very close to existing factory colors from Mercedes and BMW now.

I think I'm set on a color. I know... BMW Macadamia brown metallic.

First two pics are my rendering with the modified color I worked out. To me it's very very close to this BMW color. I love it. I actually saw one in a parking lot today, and from every angle, shade and sun it looked great. I added a few pics of this color on different vehicles to the bottom.

I know brown is not a popular color, but I love it. And I plan on keeping this car forever, hopefully I can stick to that. Thanks for all the suggestions and pm's, you guys have been great.

Get the paint bought and sprayed on the car ASAP that way you have to much invested to change your mind.

Saw this on BAT. It's Honey Bronze with lots of pics.
Now that I see your last post, your wanting something darker.
