About time to paint the cage!

Well, it's getting to be about that time where I need to start preparing to paint the cage. As expected, I'm torn between what color to go with. Now the easiest thing to do would be to spray the interior and cage all one color, say flat black.....but what fun is that. Although I know I'm going to immediately regret not spray bombing it all one color (due to labor involved) I think it will look a whole hell of a lot better if the cage stood out some (interior will be black). suspenceful and e28bmw did some Photoshop for me a few weeks ago but since then I've been doing a bit of my own.

The "mystery color" is tied to a special project I'm working on, that may or may not mature into something greater (more on this later, hopefully), but I'm always open to suggestions!

Everyone gets two votes (if you choose) so you can pick your #1 and a runner up or the mystery color. Votes for the mystery color (even though you have no clue what it is) will be taken into consideration and forwarded to the involved party of said special project. All I'll say about the special project is that if it becomes a reality, it'll be big

Here's a few renders I came up with. Curious what everyone's thoughts are.

Poll closes end of August!

Red


Purple (Instagram and Facebook wants purple)


White


Grey


Black


Blue


Mystery!

Is the car staying black? I'd say blue to match the BMW emblem colors.

Yea, the precision coils are blue. The blue on the turbo is painters tape covering the inlet
