martinmac Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have spent a lot of time on the same decision. I have posted it too. At the moment I dont have the time to sort mine out but the top suggestion was candy apple red. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 have any of you thought that if you change colour you may have trouble with selling it on in the future as potential buyers may think its been in bad enough of an accident to have needed the full respray. thoughts???

chrisjones6699 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thats a good thing about being on a forum. Everything you do (if you choose to) is documented. If you put your Zed up for sale on the forum, then no one would question things like a respray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I have spent a lot of time on the same decision. I have posted it too. At the moment I dont have the time to sort mine out but the top suggestion was candy apple red. Hope that helps. I looked into candy apple red as it looks fantastic but in the end it seemed to be a VERY expensive way to go. Firstly the initial paint job will be very pricey due to the price of the paint and the number of coats required. Then when you pick up the inveitable scratches and stone chips you may end up having to have the whole car repsrayed to get a good match due to the way the candy is built up in layers. Also from what I remember the pigments in candy apple red are organic so even with the UV protectors mixed in they will fade after a few years in the sun and you'll end up with candy apple pink! That last one might not be a concern with the amount of sun we get in the UK though! So I copped out and went for Audi Ibis White! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You could get it vinyl wrapped ? cheaper option plus you can peel it off if you need/want to I love that browny colour above...

bronzee Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 OOohhhh I know!!! The same sort of red/brown as the new R8 Spyder would look IMMENSE! And I have never seen it on a Z before Some of the 370's come in a colour similar to that. Perhaps a tad of burgundy with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
