I only recommended Battleship Gray because:

1) Its subtle, unlike Teal or Purple
2) The teal looks like **** on a Lamborghini, why would it look good on an Evo?
3) You can easily sell the car when painted somewhat of a normal color like this.
4) Its completly different than GG (this is non-metallic)
5) I'm 30 years old, if I was 18 I would suggest every flourescent color out there.
6) Its classy. I'm not looking to impress high school kids or car show judges.
7) It looks good in the engine bay AND on the exterior.
8) If you see it in person, its awesome.

Just from personal experience, my friend's battleship grey bay is fading over time. It's turning yellow

and in response to #2, I think it looks nice to me?

I've always liked the idea of "flat" colors. I would really like matte white or matte orange

I think it would look amazing
Possible choices:
Lamgorghini Grigio Telesto
Ferrari also makes a similar non-metallic gray, but I can't remember the name.
Its a great classy color that you wont get sick of, and it wont be hard to sell down the road.
Damn you man No you got me thinking that color I think I need to just stick with my Blue I originally wanted.

Love both the cars But I would have to take the Ferrari over the Lambo any Days

I am getting ready to paint a Friends Yamaha R1 Satin White I am not a fan of "flat" white it just looks like faded paint or cheap or crappy It needs to have some shine to it so the satin finishes look better I think and that lambo is Satin finish too and looks good

You just gotta throw it in paint and not think about it. If you think about colors too much then you'll forever be changing. I had the same problem when I was picking my color for my old car

haha sorry man i thought i hit you back on your last pm. i can't keep up with this site. there's like 5k post per day lol. working on some stuff for the car. getting more serious about getting the car prepped for redline so i have an aero consultant on board now and we're working on some things. also still waiting on the motor. it's been gone since oct. when we had some issue during our last event of the year. hoping to get that back soon. and shep just went through the box so that's in good shape. hopefully we'll see a bit of coverage once everything gets back together and out on track again.
