Yeah it's the BMW brown haha ---------- Post added 11-12-12 at 21:04 ---------- And thank you who ever added original colour to the poll!

original factory colours is the best investment and talking point for your car.

As what most people have already stated bud, and there absolutely right, go for the original colour will be worth your while trust me.

Suppose I could, then change it if i wanted to without wasting $5000+ getting one of the other colors painted over!

Two out of the three colors you've listed have been done before, so you should be able to get a good idea if it's something you like.

Assuming it's a Calais? I reckon marrakesh brown over silver could look alright. I like factory colours, but I also like when someone does something different. When I painted my VL everyone said it would look crap, even the painter tried to talk me out of it! After it was done I was very happy with it, and even 10 years down the track I reckon my choice was spot on, so if you want something different, think hard about it and go with your gut. If you've got good taste it might blow people away once done

^^What colour did you paint your vl?? Alot of people tried steering me clear of painting my vl phanton black over mx and to respray it in marenallo... I went with phantom, best decision i ever made from this to this Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mine was a fairly radical change, from this... to this... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have always been inlove your car <3 Is that siverslate?

That's a good point evlhsv, will definitely take that into consideration! Yours looks awesome too! I'm a fan. ATM I'm thinking that I'm going to just get a factory color respray, possibly white over silver.. And then down the track look at the brown or something! Gonna be a long hard think!

Mine was VX HSV insert grey metallic (VX GTS front bumper insert colour)

Nice colour choice.

I had this dilemma painting mine, chose to stick with a factory color. Although i dont mind that weird brown, considering it's brown lol.

Haha yeh, I think I will keep it a factory colour. If I don't it'll be the brown as I don't think there is another vl in that colour, n I think it'll look pretty neat Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You can tweak the factory colours a little bit of pearl, hard or soft metalic flip. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

When we say factory colour we mean what ever colour your paint code code says... defeats the purpose of going factory colours in my opinion..

Any colour can be modded granted its no longer going to be a factory colour. but colours come out (Slightly) differant any way - from brand to brand like Glasurit to De Beers and, - from the guy mixing the colours as its very easy to get it wrong Even when they rolled off the factory line there where colour differances from plant to plant Candy apple blue has my vote Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
