Okay, this has been giving me issues for a while and im hoping that Im not the only one but more so i hope im not wasting anyone's time. I cant decide which color to respray my s4. I have a buddy with an imola yellow s4 and a buddy with a nogaro blue b6 a4 and i cant decide which color. Nogaro is my all time favorite color, but for some reason imola draws me to it. The car is currently silver on black rims.

Also, my buddy's s4 just blew his ko4's and he is wondering whether or not to get ko4s again or spend the extra for tial 770's.

If i can get some personal input on the paint i would really appreciate that and if there's any word on what my buddy should do with his, we both would really love the help.

 

if its just a respray i'd stick with the factory silver color. if its a full paint job(door jams, engine bay,etc.) i'd go with Achat Grey, Nogaro, Hibiscus, or cactus green. i'm a stickler for factory colors.

As for your buddy wanting to upgrade to 770s, make sure he knows it requires a pretty hefty engine build.

 

I meant respray by base clear cermic coating over, but i plan to paint the engine bay, jams and all. Nogaro is my all time favorite color. Idk what hibiscus looks like and a green s4 wouldnt be too bad; never seen it. The only thing he needs to do is to put his built 2.8 heads on and he should be technically fully built.

 

hibiscus red, cactus green and achat grey are the rarest colors in the b5 s4/rs4 line up. achat grey is only 1 of 1 in north america. there is also a legit achat grey b5 rs4 in the states, but that doesnt count cause it was imported from europe.

Holy crap! Lol. You didn't have to take the time to write all of that.. Dang. But I think I'mma look into the greens, but other than that, so far it's between nogaro and achat she's currently metallic light silver. I think achat might be cheaper since it's not a complete change, buy hey, we'll see

 

I've decided against any green. I'm thinking nogaro, achat, ebony, and I think I few more colors. I'm not done looking
Thanks for all the help though!
