So until 2 minutes ago I thought the Eagle Talon only came in one color. I've seen 3 in the used lot and they've all been the metallic burnt orange with the black top. Until just now when I got a teal blue Talon with the black top. Now since if you paint Talons they lose their black top, thus what sets it apart from the Eclipse, and now that I know they come in other colors I now want every availible factory color scheme.

So there's my question. Can you all here tell me what factory colors the Talon can be found painted? Or at least have you seen any in colors other than the burnt orange/black or teal blue/black?
 
Good info, thanks. Never sorted paints by manufacturer. I'll check that out. I'd like to have that car in every color it's available. Aside from the black, as that would defeat the purpose.
 
As you mentioned, the greenhouse is painted with the car. The DSM isn't he only car that does that, and it is a shame.

An easy way to see which cars the color comes in is to run a one-make race. Jar mentioned several colors that I've never seen through that method, so I don't know if they are just Eagle colors or actual Talon colors.
 
Since eagle only makes the talon (or the talon is the only eagle in gt5) then all colors sorted under eagle are for the talon

there are all 7 colors mentioned
ive only seen it in white and teal though
 
Well the problem I realised just before my thumb hit X to sort by manufacturer on my paint list is that it really doesn't give me any info that I didn't already know because it only shows me factory colors for the Talon that.......i've already bought. It doesn't show you any other colors the car comes in even if you already got the color on another car somehow. It has to have come on an Eagle you've bought to be on the list for Eagle.

Anyway at least I know it comes in a few other colors than the 2 I have. So I'll keep my eye out, and maybe see if I can't do some trading for a couple of them since I'm coming up on having every used car in the game soon. I've gotta have something someone wants.

You receive paint chips as part of your daily login bonus. So it is possible to get paint chips in colors that you've never purchased.

As a result of this, I think it may be possible that PD has included colors from manufacturers that aren't on the cars included in the game. This could be for a number of reasons, so I wouldn't solely trust the Eagle colors available in the game.

I've only seen Paprika, Bright White, and one of the green colors. If i remember correctly, the Tsi was sold from Eagle in what Mitsubishi called Pasadena Red. I assume that is the same as Eagle's Indy Red, but I haven't looked, and I haven't seen it on the car in the game at all. It could be that the color was limited to the Tsi and wasn't sold on the Esi.

No idea why the Tsi isn't in the game.

If you take a look at gt5cars.net and search for the talon and you are at a lower day, then you should have all 7 colors show up

EG: http://gt5cars.net/used_car_searches/51110002?utf8=%E2%9C%93&used_car_search%5Bcar_to_find_id%5D=179&commit=Search
At the bottom

So they do include all the colors, some are just less common per the days most people are on. Just like i always thought the XJ220 only came in green untill i got the blue, then i found one or two more colors.

No magical non-included colors
