Refrigerate Wax....Whats the Point

Milano Red

I didn`t want a red car back in the day, but it grows on me the more I look at it, which is quite often

My 5 series is silver, my 3 series is silver grey, my Mustang is Jalopena red, and my wifes Mountaineer is Black. The truck is the hardest to maintain. Silver is great.

Heh heh, my thoughts exactly

Most of ours are variations on silver, but I do have the "tender blue" (how`s *that* for a precious name!) RX-7 and the Byzanz M3, which is a pretty cool color IMO.

For *years* I said I`d only own black cars, but man do I have a lot more time for other things since I got over that!

Heh heh, some people really do detail out of enjoyment huh? That`s the sort of question I avoided asking myself back when I had black cars; you folks with black had *better* enjoy it

YouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d be amazed how many different shades of black there are. Try parking black cars from different makers next to each other some time.

Obtw, if you want your car to be really black do not shoot it with DuPont Centari enamel. (DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t remind me how I know that.)

Oh, and our cars are white, mint green, light blue and black.

Ditto that. My black car actually has a brown look in direct sunlight. Or maybe it really wouldn`t be considered black, but according to the color code it`s black.

Two silver cars here. My Spec V is molten silver, and I absolutely am in love with the paint color. It gives a gorgeous liquid silver look in sunlight, and a cool blue hue in the shade. My SE-R is brillant aluminum, and I am not as big of a fan of this shade of silver, as it`s rather bland and white looking. No where near as nice as molten silver.

My fiancee has a black car, and it makes me cringe. So happy I have silver! I`m a good person, though, and I buy all sorts of polishes and stuff to use on his car.

I care more about what his paint looks like then he does most of the time...

Mine is burnt orange, Lemans Sunset. It has tons of flake in it and it`s pretty easy to keep clean.

My last car was black, and I don`t plan on getting another black car anytime soon.

Not surprised that silver is #2 around here. I just read the other day that silver is the most common color for new cars, and has been for 6 years running.

**YellowC4S** · 01-14-2007, 02:41 PM

The Audi is Emerald Green. The Porsche is Speed Yellow and the Aston is Meteorite Silver.

**ca8680** · 01-14-2007, 07:00 PM

The lincoln town car...is brownish/creamish/light brown/beige/goldish.......

**Bigpoppa3346** · 01-14-2007, 07:23 PM

My Envoy is a metallic silver that looks goldish when the sun hits it because of the flake. I love silver/light metallic cars, black is just too much of a PITA.

**She-L-S** · 01-23-2007, 09:43 PM

Gold baby!

This color would never have been my #1 (bought it used)...but I LOVE it! Stays nice even when roads are grimey and slushy. My last car was silver and this one shows dirt MUCH less than the silver car did.
