    Default Help me pick a color!

    Having trouble deciding on a color for the 240. I'm thinking of a copper/bronze/gold color. Roof will stay black, CF hood and hatch. Rims are black 10 spokes with polished lip. Help me decide! Pics would be greatly appreciated. The winner will get a special prize!

    That's way to yellow/green. I'm looking for more of a dark coppper/gold color. Like the orange on the 350z, but less orange. I like the color on the diecast model. Somethings missing from it though.

    I wouldn't mind doing a flat color, but I don't want the car to be completely orange. I was hoping for a dark bronze color, but the HoK color Dejavu found looks really good.
