New Color For My DB8 After Accident

[ianbr26]

Hi guys, I am new here. I was intending to sell off my car but I guess my car is too sad to leave me.
Earlier today, some dumb ass motorcyclist coming in the wrong way, lost control and hit my car. He was a bloody kid woth no license. Thankfully, his dad was nice enough to pay for all the damages as i threatened to report this matter. Anyway, that's happened, so leave it.

Now, after a few years seeing my white car. I thought of changing the colour of my car.

I like the Milano Red but would prefer it to be 2 tone. Milano Red and Black. But not too sure if it would be nice this way. I thought of painting the roof black leaving the rest of it to be red. The spoiler i want it 2 tone as well. Black wing and red stand. U know like the RR spoiler style. But i cant quite imagine if it would look nice for a dc2 type r spoiler.

I got my inspiration from this. Have a look here:

I do not plan to paint the hood and booth lid black. I'll get a CF hood in the near future. So, don't wanna paint it black now.

Check this out:

Will the Milano Red look like orange under the sun? Because i dont like that color. I thought Milano Red is RED even under the sun.

I need some suggestions on how to get use this Milano Red and black to suit my car best. I am out of ideas.

Seeking some help here. I am sorry if i posted in the wrong section.

Thanks.

red is nice but susah to maintain. it will fade faster than any other colour. just my opinion. up to u bro.

ya, red oxidises faster. but as far as i know only solid red has this prob.
anyone has any input about how to get the 2 two nice for my car?

guess what, my db8 also accident. have u decided what colour to paint ur car? i am considering it now as well.

btw, i think u got this in the wrong section and hence no response. i am responding because i use a db8 as well.

IMHO, repaint to original colour is better. If still looking for a change, then if it's Frost White can change to Championship White, if any shade of red can change to Milano Red. Original colour can retain some resale value and $$$ rarely goes wrong.

Any DB8 manual owners want to sell off their ride kindly PM me. Tq.

ianbr26 was wanting to sell until this accident? check with him if he's still selling it if u r interested. u can also find a few in mudah. i just got my ride for above market price 2 months back. if u want, i also can sell it to u. haha. gl in finding a db8.

bout the colours, what u said is true. but even my current colour is not the original colour. i am also thining of red since the paint shop guy recommended red. i too personally like milano or roma or cherry red. still undecided, car is already in paint sho but confused.
