Eh Leguna Seca Blue it is. It's been my dream to have an LSB M3 for forever but my car has some of the same lines and it will look sick! Then black suede headliner and maybe if I get lucky I'll get my hands on the peanut butter colored interior! I'd like to put some Corbeau racing seats in after I supercharge it too.

The first orange one you posted was an RS4 conversion. Nothing like 10-15k of body work to help pull off a flashy colour.

You doing this work yourself? Painting a 10 year old car is crazay if you're going to spend 3-5k to have it done properly.

Ya I'm doing it myself. I painted my dads CJ-7 when he and I restored it. It's 5 years and holding up. We learned a couple things from it though as 1 spot started to rust but we also had it stripped to bare metal which I will not have to do. Only in a couple spots.

Good stuff. I just bought a 60gal air compressor and am curious to try painting with it.
Nice when you do your own car as you can go nuts... I'd have to remove all glass, weather stripping, mirrors, door handles etc etc etc. Would be nice to pull the engine but that's probably overkill. :P

I think Papaya Orange with pearl is the best choice for you. This color looks great and give the car a shining touch.

I figured between a few colors I could probably make papaya orange out of Rustoleum lmfao. Not gonna risk it. I'm going to get top end paint for this. Maybe I'll buy it from BMW lol.

I vote for the orange. I like the audi blue as well, but the orange is just cool.
