How many different paint chips?

Simple question. Just curious how many paint chips do other collectors have?
I'm at 3,236 and climbing super slow now! Thanks!

Around 3500 as of a few days ago, the last time I painted a car and noticed the count.

Well, I'm going to tell you what the rarest paint chips are. Collecting paint chips is what I do. Polyphony digital paints, are the same colors as purchased cars, the same as your ten daily free paints, BuT...there special in that you win them by coming in second place on seasonal events. So take for instance, a Color of a car that you can't buy new. Like a Plymouth, lemon twist, bahama yellow, Black velvet, Tor-Red or Vitamin C just to name a few. You can buy a car with those paints in the UCD, sometimes online dealers. But these paints and most others can be won under the Polyphony Digital name, (come in 2nd seasonal wins) Now I collect these entirely for there namesake, not so much the color because they appear to be the same as stock named paints. Some people will say why? Well why 0/0/0? No switches? Why not just paint your cars the color you want, instead of driving and grinding day after day to find, No hunt, for that superbird in Black Velvet! I think I would have been sick of the game after the first 12 months or so, if I didn't choose my little sector of the collecting world. Btw, I now have 6-800 pd paints. Not counting gran Turismo pd paints.

Feel free to disagree. Just my opinion

I have over 3500, and yet have only received one chrome I would have to say that makes the chrome colors pretty rare.

Suzukagrau met. is somehow rare because Audi dealer doesn't give the paint anymore.
Other rare paints ... Maybe tradeable colors from DLC cars like the Avantadore and the Aston Martin could be considered rare.

How many cars do you have? How many race days? It is possible to win a siver chrome every thirty days, with a little work of coarse. Even if you don't reload the game when you get a matte color, you should still get more than one on your way to two thousand cars. I know on my first time up through 2000 cars I received 3 gold& 2 silver chromes. Then I learned how to cycle through the mattes for 20 minutes and get a chrome. Also most chromes are purchasable in the ps store.

I think different game discs, regions, can make one paint rare to me and not to others. I have 3 Audi Suzukagrau's and 1 Audi Suzukagrau made by polyD.
But take for instance for me a Honda noble green pearl took over 6000 game days to show up in the UCD? Go figure, no. Really go figure lol
