Navy blue is the best color on ws6. stick with it.
Also, why are you painting it? have you considered having it professionaly restored by a detailer? It would cost much less unless it's really hammered with scratches and chips.

nbm is boring. I thought I wanted pearl black, but after seeing it (factory and show cars) it really just looks dirty.

**seth_12** · 02-20-2010, 08:40 PM

well the factory color was metallic navy blue if i can say because the color looks different in different angles and i had the silver striped painted on it but I'm thinking it would look sick if i got black with a little darker stripes and got black wheels and had the tail lights smoked out

**seth_12** · 02-20-2010, 08:44 PM

look at the TA on my profile picture I'm thinking something like that except with sliver stripes and the bird on the license plate cover would also be sliver

That's NBM. It's not a bad cool but GM has some other blue metallics that look a lot better. I'll see if I can big up a pic of a blue TA I saw at G10. It had white ghost flames. Sexay!

NBM does looks different from different angles, its an amazing color it contrasts awesome with the amber color of the DRLs. its also highly photogenic on really sunny days, whereas red or other colors arent because the blue sky gets reflected off the paint and makes it look dull, (all my best shots were taken during overcast hours) NBM is the best color for a ws6 IMO, and your going to black? a color you cant even see all the scoops and curves?

have fun deconstructing the whole car to get the insides of the door jams and engine bay to match...

**seth_12** · 02-20-2010, 09:04 PM

well it wouldn't be hard the engine is not in it right now its at the machine shop getting rebuild with a bunch of goodies

I think if you go through the effort of a full color change you should get an attention whore-y color. Something that really pops.
