GPW, Imola orange, or any color that's a bit different than the options from the factory (darker yellow? darker red?)

You mean why I dont recommend red?

Well, put simply....exclusivity. If you are going through the trouble or repainting a car, why not make it something beautiful? Something that NO ONE else has? One of our members has a STUNNING green s2000, the only one on the site, probably in the US with that color....looks great, and one of a kind. Why repaint a car moonrock? 9/10 people couldnt tell its not factory. If I spent 5 grand, I better get something out of it. There are so many colors to choose from, I cant fathom painting the car a stock color.

The reason why I recommend Nogaro blue over Laguna blue is simple....Nogaro blue is NOT a metallic color, and is VERY easy to match if you get a nick. Laguna blue is a very difficult color to match, requires blending, thus, costing more money for upkeep.

With so many colors out there, be original, and be the only one with it....at least, be the first.

When you put it that way...yeah I guess your better off getting a color that everyone doesnt have. Especially for that much money
