Final Colour 2 paint my XF

As some of you may know I have been building an XF, it has the MMM kit, with no rear spolier, and has 15" ROH extreme mags, dark tint etc...

BUT I have no idea what colour I should go, its sitting at the painters waiting 4 the kit (still) and I havnt picked a colour
the 3 I have in mind are:

1. midnight Black (not going 2 do, as the body work isnt imacculate)

2. Some sorta red/burgandy

3. Gun Metal Grey

I know it comes down 2 personal opinion, but thats just it I dont know!! any pics or photoshoped pics would help :)

p.s no I dont have a pic 2 photoshop (sorry)

How about Blue Pearl or similar? My dream colour for my XF, would look awesome with the chrome around the windows, although dunno what it would be like with your mags.

By the way, what's this MMM kit? Any pics?

Sparkling Burgundy, it's a AU colour and I reckon the XF would look good in that colour! specially with about 4/5 coats of high gloss 2 pack clear.

sorry no front pics, its the same stlye as that of red one with the plates "pumpin" or vigalantes blue XF, its not a GT style bumper like the other ones on the site

Sparkling burgandy is what I was gonna go (same as XF6250) but Im not 2 sure now, and gun metal grey is very nice, I remember awhile back I had a post bout kits and somone lowerd and removed the rear spolier of the one in the link, somone can have a go at the colour 2 if they like :) I would but I leant my PS7 CD and havnt got it back yet (I formated)

mate i reckon go the gun metal gray cos big boxy cars like the xd-xf's look shit hot in dark colors (ie.black and cobolt blue,g.m.g and others) also all the silvers and grays hide dust and minor dings due to there flatness of color nature

If the body work isn't immaculate dont go a dark colour.

It shows up the slightest imperfections in the paint & they will stick out like dogs balls.

A mate of mine had his painted a custom silver pearl mix.
Not really sure what it was though & the strip of plastic that went around the car was colour coded & had a very fine Purple pin stripe through it which set it off nicely.

Maybe a blue colour. Go down to a paint shop & have a look thru the paint charts. You will soon see one that you REALLY LOVE

Tell us what you decide.

Thumbs up Your colour

Mate,

Here is the picture of my car that the guys before were talking about.

It made my XF stand out from the crowd
