And so it begins again

Looks nice, fresh paintwork is always lovely! How does it differ from Phoenix yellow?

Even though the differences are subtle for me the overall effect is massive, Austin has more tones and is sharper, side by side

Ive always loved Phoenix yellow and It would be my fave colour for a z3m so your colour gets my vote
There used to be a Phoenix yellow z3m on the forum, it had a a black hardtop but a subtle Phoenix yellow fleck in the black on closer inspection. It looked amazing!!

Yes I remember the car it was stunning. I was amazed when he sold it.
 
Got it out in the sun today and it doesn't half light up, I also tried the chrome grills but they look dreadful against paint, so they are going to be gloss black with satin bars, also got both sills ready for painting along with both front wings,

I read earlier your not doing black wheels? Given your having black grills and I’m assuming wing vents too ? Think the wheels done to match may look rather special against the Austin Yellow. That’s my opinion mate.

Shadow chrome on the wheels will be dark enough for me, the side gills are going to be body coloured as I think they will look a bit gimmicky in anything else, the door handles, screen surround and front grills will be gloss black for now, however things may change along the way :D, thanks for the input.

Austin Yellow? Austin had a car back in the day which BMW made under license to get back into manufacturing, it was the Austin Ruby IIRC.

Yes, BMW Austin yellow :D
 
Does the Austin Yellow have different flakes in it to the Phoenix Yellow being a more modern colour @Sean d ?

Is that how it ‘lights-up’ more?

Not quite sure to be honest mate, it only has metallic in the formula and no modern mica
 
Nearly sneaked a look today Sean as by your way looking at a Z4 Coupe, Unfortunately after the compulsory ice cream on the front, ran out of time, can't wait to see the bits getting bolted on and the finished product. Its going to be awesome.
