How about E30's painted in Calypso red? How do the cars look? Do you guys think that the classic body style of the e30's go good with any of these colors? Thanx for your help in advance.

Oscar,
Since you asked, I'm on the fence when comes to yellow. I love the idea, especially since there is something quite diff't about the ix than other E30's, nothing wrong with using the color of the car to suggest this.

You can kill me for suggesting this, but, I have been up close to Dakar Yellow M3,s and Competition Yellow Vettes, you might want to look into sourcing some CY paint from GM. It's actually DuPont so don't be scared off by the Generals "quality control", or lack there of. And if decide red, look into some Torch red.

If you're going custom, sometimes a color never available on the model makes a bigger impact. Good luck and go with your insticts...
