V8 Swapped E30

[johnprusinski]

Welp I finally got my front coilovers done when I got the right strut housings. Now I have a rolling chassis. Just for kicks I put the wheels from my black e30 on.

I know that is just primer but it looked like light silver and I liked it. What color are you doing again?

Lol yeah the fender is silver. I painted it just to see if I could paint. I'm going to go with a gray for the color.

pastels belong on VWs/girl cars only.

Wouldn't it have to be an actual color to be pastel? I never thought of any shade of grey being able to be called pastel lol

Pastels or pastel colors are the family of colors which, when described in the HSV color space, have high value and low to intermediate saturation.[1][2] The name comes from pastels, art media characteristic of this color family. The colors of this family are usually described as "soothing",[3] "soft", "near neutral", "milky", "washed out", "desaturated", and lacking strong chromatic content.

that aviator "gray" is definitely a shade of blue, which is "washed out" and "desaturated". i'm sure under some light or low light, it just looks gray,  but this photo of the color that makes it pretty obvious:

i only argue this because I have to deal with it all the time.  i work at an interior design firm, and the women around here are always complaining about whites not being white...grays being bluish or yellowish, etc.

[Earl]

Yeah that's definitely a pastel blue at that point haha

I want to match the red Barron e30s color. I think it will look pretty neat. check the picture I attached :). 

As for an update, I haven't done much since my VW decided to break the water pump. I did however get my seat in and I moved the car over.
