Mercedes Designo Mystic Brown

Lotus Chrome Orange

I have really liked some paint to come out of Mazda plants lately. Their machine grey is sweet, and their soul red is really beautiful with great depth.

I’ve gone through so many black cars, so being boring, my favorite black is Mercedes Obsidian Black Metallic. It has just the right amount of metallic flakes to give a much brighter mirror like finish without overpowering the base color.
93563
Bonus is it wrapped in matte clear film, the reflections from the metallic flakes power through the film to create a satin like finish.
93564
Aside from black, McLaren’s Papaya Orange is always an excellent classic color being a fanboy.
93565
Honorable mention to Lexus Molten Lava which is a slightly deeper version of Papaya Orange.

The first new car I remember as a little kid that my dad came home with was a Plum Crazy Purple 71 Satellite Sebring! I loved that car... He kept it all through my youth and 3 weeks before I turned 16 he fucking sold it! I was so pissed at him haha!

Some great colours in here, some colours I would never in a million years, but thata part of the fun I guess is everyone rocks their own style.
Interesting to see how popular metallic orange is.

I remember as a kid purple was for "fags". I love it now that I'm older and there is no silly social stigma around a damn color.

There are so many nice purples out there and it works well to show the curves of the host vehicle. There is an Instagram page called "ptsrs" that is dedicated to all Porsche PTRS colours, and man are there some cool options that come out of Stuttgart.
