What color to paint?

[B3n]

So I got a 95 318ti active, the color it is as the tag reads is cosmos schwartz metallic. The paint is peeling and so is the clear coat so its time for new paint.
I want to stay black was thinking a jet black perhaps.

I like the paint on this 318ti especially seen below



So let me know what color black, if there is any real differences

Thanks!

My car is the same color..cosmos schwartz met.. And I wouldn't change it for anything... Well only and alpine white ti loL..

Paint it the same color. Nothing like original

Cosmos Schwarz is hit and miss with me. Sometimes it looks good and sometimes it looks dirty and chipped. Jet Black(SchwarzII) looks great until you start getting rock chips and you have to wash it just about every other day. I was thinkin about changing my color as well. I've considered LSB, but there's already an LSB ti here in SoCal and you're limited to a select few wheel colors that will actually flow. Alpine White, Artic Silver and Titanium Silver are all really nice colors and hide dirt/blemishes really well. Right now I'm toying with the idea of a Granite Silver ti, it's like a metalic charcoal color. I think it's one of the few colors I can get away with without having to respray my SchwarzII engine compartment

yeah, I like the SchwarzII and also like just Jet black , both look nice to me but Im not sure if it will be a real difference if i just go with JET

If I'm not mistaken, SchwarzII is the same as Jet Black. Cosmoschwarz just has metal flake.

ah okay, yeah cosmos looks good sometimes to me , but other times looks to light.

Jet black-668 code

It's realy crapy to keep clean and like every other black sucks .. Everything shows on the paint any scuff/ scratch ect ect.. Light colors hide it better.. I bet to fully respray a car it would cost over 3k done professionally with good quality paint..

Ben.. Where In jersey are you located?

Sorry to revive this old thread but i'm interested in what you chose!! I'm looking to repaint my baby in the spring. I have minor surface rust on the front wheel well, and some tad toothpick spots on the hood and roof. I'm i bit unsure where to start with the surface rust nor do i want to start a new thread probably because someone already made one. So if someone could direct me i would appreciate it. For the color ideas, i'm either thinking granite silver or estoril/ world rally blue. What do you guys think? P.s if anyone would like to see photo's of my arctic silver feel free to ask!

Still trying to deside myself haha

LOL im in the same boat im thinking mean while i save up the money for it.. my car is schwartz II and well im pretty much tired of the jet black color.. so many black cars out there... theres only three colors i would love to have on my car... hellrot red... dakar yellow... and charcoal gray.. but im leaning towards the gray it looks super clean and after seeing stefans ti its like an epic win but well i guess ill think bout it until i get the funds

Rather off topic, I was just reading, but figured I'd comment, I have a hellrot ti right now, but I'm considering a color change, not sure, I need new paint for sure, but can't decide on a color. Or just leave it in the original hellrot.

Id paint it red again if it needs new paint, to much work to convert completely.
