If you want a really unique color… there are only 5 systems in the country that can do an entire car in true black-chrome… one of them is down here (in Valencia, near Magic Mountain)… it only costs $25K and your car needs to be stripped down entirely.

Are you a baller – or a wannabe? I looked into it – but I’m a peon and wussed out… I’ll give you the contact info if you will do it!

Put me in the wannabe category Someone else can be a "baller" with a beautiful all black chrome car. I do things to my car to please me, not the crowd.

me too for sure! I didn't mean baller as in pleasing the crowd - I meant as in costing real big bucks!!! I would love to have a black chrome car (even if no one else liked it)

^I think it's safe to say that a 25k price would scare just about everyone away on Driver lol

That's why I like your car so much...you did it your way. I even like the changes you didn't care for too much lol

The battle ship greys you keep referencing aren't really that grey, they have a lot of green in them. Don't get me wrong though, I like the colors. A co-worker of mine wanted to do a true Battle Ship Grey which we felt had just a tad of blue in it moreso than green...I mean it is seriously just a flat deeper shade than a tradtional light grey.

I like this color, it's called Millenium Jade (not sure who makes it), it looks a lot like the Infiniti Green Slate available on the QX56:



I also like this infamous 240SX color, Silver Moss Metallic:








I've considered this color because in terms of monotone, it is the same as the Diamond Graphite my car is now.

I saw an Audi (Q7?) on the way to work today - battleship grey... actually looked really good.

It may have already been mentioned out here - but I think that would be the best option for BG... havent looked for pics (its better to see colors in person anyway).

Hmm...I'll go see if I can get out to an Audi dealer soon Mike. Thanks

I like the Millenium Jade but not the silver moss metalic.That Porsche color is definately still on my mind

Hey Chris, earlier I was talking about a really bright white (like lambo) in satin with pearl...
There's a thread in the coupe media share where the guy repainted it, and he has a picture before he put on the clear. I really like it flat with the pearl. I say just do a Satin, matte or flat clear coat (make them do samples of each)

Check it out:
