Favorite paint color?

[4u2nvinmtl]

As I`ve gotten more and more addicted to detailing I`ve started to inspect the paint on random cars and really appreciate the freshly detailed cars I encounter on the road. This got me thinking what`s the best-looking color I`ve ever seen and what color might I repaint my own car... At first I thought black right away because I love the reflections, then I thought about that Hyundai Genisis blue, but once I layed eyes on a freshly detailed Ford F150 with Ruby Red Platinum paint I knew I found my favourite color car paint (for now of course). Why that color you might ask, well because I don`t even like pickup trucks (at all), but this one looked so good that I kept thinking of it days later. The color just looks so rich with depth gloss and reflections to die for!

So what`s your favorite paint color and why? (Pictures or paint color name would be ideal)

P.S. if anyone has this color paint on their car I`d love to see more pictures.

I`m right there with you 4u2nvinmtl. I`ve always been a sucker for red. Any type of dark red has always been my favorite because it`s dark enoughon the color spectrum to get really deep and glossy, but not as unforgiving as black.

Love your clean Mercury, Ray. Looks sharp. I always appreciate older, well taken care of cars.

I think it was called Starlight Blue. Came on Dodge trucks in about 98 I believe. Ford had one in the late 70`s that was similar. I like most medium to dark blue paints when they have a hint of metalic in them. Like most others I like Blacks and most Reds. Not big on Greens though a nice Forest Green (think Bullit) can be nice. I don`t like any of the Desert or Brown colors. I`ve had a lot of white vehicles and can`t tell you that I`m in love with white. These are easy to take care of. My Edge has White Platinum, kind of a metalic pearl tri-coat on it. It`s very nice with BlackFire`s coating on it. Undoubtedly the best white I`ve owned.

GearHead_1, if we`re thinking of the same blue then that would probably be one of my favorites. I didn`t even think about it until I saw your post.

I tend to lean towards black and darker blues. However, GM Graystone Metallic is what`s on the wife`s Suburban and my brother`s truck and it has really grown on me. A really nice color when it shines.


Sent from my toilet using TapaTalk. You never know, do you?

I`m right there with the darker reds too. They just tend to look dripping wet. A flawless black deserves mention too but I still don`t think I will ever buy another black car.

I forgot about British Racing Green. I LOVE that color on the right car.

Thanks

My favorite is British Racing Green and of course tan leather interior. I currently have red, silver, and white cars. Can`t find too many cars in a shade of green. The closest thing I found was a dark green metallic Nissan Rogue. I hope car manufacturers will start putting more color choices in their car lineups.

Truth is some models just look better in some colors than others. A scarlet red that may look good on a Mustang doesn`t cut it on a Town Car.

Not sure I have a favorite but I really like a lot of the "electric" blue colors and some of the metallic tangerine orange colors.

Love the VW blue!

I hope car manufacturers will start putting more color choices in their car lineups.

I agree! That`s why it was exciting when SRT announced their 1 of 1 program. You can basically order your Viper with ANY color combination you can think of. Every manufacturer should start doing this.

This is easy.

1. Ferrari`s Red Rosso Corsa or Porsche`s Guards Red.

2. Honda`s Aegean Blue Metallic (very similar to VW`s post #12 above).

had an 03 f150 that was maroon and was gorgeous when it was clean. now have a silver f150 and just doesn`t pop like the deep red truck did.
