My personal favorite car color right now is BMW Fjord Blue. Its that
icy metallic blue color that they painted the early 70s 3.0 CS with.
Oh manI love that color. I got a can from Paintscratch.com and I'm
gonna paint my road bike with it this winter since I don't have any
other vehicles that need paint right now.

Black: hard to keep looking clean. Red: fades to pink if you live in
a sunny place, but I think it looks better than black on a Vanagon.
