I really like painting concept cars. Feels... special. But yes, I tend to think really carefully about what color suits what car... and then choose British Racing Green because HRRNGH its pretty. I want to paint my real car that color.

Speaking of my real car, why is there no brown in this game? I've spent hours looking for brown cars and there's just nothing. The closest I've come could only be called dark beige.
 
Usually I like my cars red.. But I dont necassarily have an obsession with it.. I like having my paint based on company/brand signatures, so Lamborghini-Yellow/orange, Ferrari-red, alfa-red, honda-white(Or black), lotus-orange/yellow, and aston martin-Green
 
Black again, but some cars need a bit of color for traditions sake.
 
What car or cars have Chrome Silver or any other chrome colors? Is there a chrome yellow? What car has matte yellow?

Personally I like yellow. If there were day glow or high visibility yellow all of my cars would be that! If they're paintable that is.
 
I'm obsessed with more neutral colours... White, black and shades of grey (Silver if metallic). I can't stand other colours for my cars, unless the colour is commonly associated with that specific car... A DB9 in British Racing Green. Or a Ferrari in Ferrari Red, etc. All my cars that don't have a iconic colour are black or white. Unless of course I won it as a prize, is standard and I have no intention of using it, in which case it can stay purple or whatever crappy colour it came in until I decide to use it, at which point, I paint it.
 
Blue for a lot of my cars. I'm totally obsessed with Blue. Light blue, dark blue.. wish we had some sort of livery editor so I could mix light & dark blue. I looove the look of light blue on dark blue! Hmmm.. Orange for the Dodge Charger (I was obsessed with the General Lee when I was a kid! :lol: Wish they had the '69 model instead of the '70..) White body & black carbon fiber hood & black rims for my heavily modded Premium Cars.
 
I'm a bit obsessed with wheel colors at the moment I need black wheels on light colored cars and light colored wheels on dark colored cars hehe. I will only change the body color of the car if I really hate the standard color I try to keep most things the factory colors but there are a few exceptions in my garage of course.
 
Rosso Dino is a great colour. I bought my Ferrari 512BB in said colour, and then painted a GT-R Spec V in it. Looks amazing.

(It's like a deep metallic orange)

White, I love white since FM3 dunno exactly why. I guess I like to see the design and white is showing the car lines pretty good. I wont use white on Ferrari's tho, Ferrari gotta be red for me. I kinda like Matte paint too but it' shard to get so I'm saving them for the car I really love.
 
I choose colours that fit the best to a specific car from my point of view.. sometimes it also depends on my mood...
Though black is cool the shape of the car doesn't come out well!
Silver is the best for that but not too remarkable...
green is kind of sleeper!
 
Blue Tour de France! That color.....that color....is beautiful! No chrome bull crap.
Blue is where its at. It Fits my Murcielago SV, Maclaren SLR and Enzo the best :D
 
For some reason that must be linked to some toys I had back in the 70s I always paint my supercars gold, muscle cars green and road cars blue. I even created dup accounts to gift myself paint chips!

What's your colour vice?

Blue. Slowly but surely, all my cars are getting painted blue.

It has to be a certain shade of it though and anything similar to the blue that is offered on the Nissan 370 Z gets put on my cars.

I have a few yellow, black, silver and red ones though.

I have a mocha brown pearl chip. Must have been from the free daily chips.
When I filtered it indicated it was an Audi color.
 
I have an obsession for dark gray/graphite. It looks good on almost any car (probably because it's a neutral color and doesn't accentuate the lines).
 
mine is a secret colour obsession, i paint some cars differently to hide the fact i prefer a particular colour.
 
Usually I go for green for British cars, red for Italian ones etc. US muscle cars always seem to end up either red or blue, with a white stripe. For some reason if a stripe is not available I always feel the need to paint them yellow.

And no, I wouldn't do that in real life.
