the chances are that if you wanting to change teh colour of your car you wont be wanting to sell it on any time soon. candy oranges and reds are awsome, really deeps ones are even better with 4 layers of paint and 3 or 4 layers of clear coat, that gets my pants wet.

Lol. I'm not sure how or what was used in painting that Focus, but it sure looks good. Maybe someday I'll have enough money to custom paint my cars that color. I could have a matching MINI, M3, and Exige S....

not a fan of paint like that now tbh. it looks like an oil slick in water and the surface goes all shiney like a marble.

Go for something original.

Thumbs up

To the fireman: you've got the greatest taste in colors of anyone I've ever known of in my life. After drenching your car in that marinade of Bartles & Jaymes, look into the Zeemax body kit, scissor doors and 37 inch chrome blade wheels to offset your born-again honeywagon's brilliance. Game, Set & Match.
Godspeed.

I'm not keen on flip colours but when I win the lottery I'll get my Aston painted like
the focus . Gorgeous, makes Nocole Kidman look plain. Hmmmm well maybe not
that gorgeous.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs
