Brilliantrot 1990 325iS


the issue of paint color...specifically, red is something that has been sitting on the back burner of my mind from the drive to pittsburgh from hollywood...

red is extremely hard to pick because my experience is to often when i ask owners the actual ppg color or something similar...they 'farmed' the work out and they don't have a clue...often people buy their cars 'finished' and the color was selected by the previous owners...

while i'm posting for the record here...let me say just for the record...i should confess that RED is NOT my first choice...in fact there are many colors that i prefer over RED...but while i don't prefer like red as a first choice, i dislike changing any car's original color worse than my general aversion to RED...this 320i isn't my first restoration...but...i've never had a car that was 'finished'...i'm just sayin...that's a weird answer to me...

this Brilliantrot 1990 325iS e30 is a solid color that i've considered...the current paint color is Korral and its a '90's color...the car was 'refreshed' in the '90's which explains its higher mileage, and good condition...the '90's cosmetic refresh was pivotal to this deeper restoration i've been attempting...

my mind changes constantly when it comes to color...today, brillantrot is pretty appealing.
