Needs to be RED !!!

Sorry.

I love outlandish reflex/chameleon/spectraflair paints.

My first Tuscan was Reflex Green and dropped jaws everywhere it went... much more so than my current far more sombre Reflex Olive car.

If I was having a full respray I'd go for Reflex Green.... but the Reflex Spice you've posted looks pretty great too.

Good luck with your choice!

Here is the Reflex Olive in 12 exposure HDR...

Chameleon and Reflex colours are amazing, but if I had the choice again - I would avoid, as localised paint repair to deal with scuffs and scrapes is virtually impossible. I've had a fair few expensive front end re-sprays!

I am leaning towards red. Although the fleck in the focus rs is great.

I think in reality the reflex paints will cost to much. But might as well aim high then come down in expectations.

Any bright reds with some fleck? Candy apply red?

Pic4 gets my vote, although a very very good Crystal Topaz would be my first choice.

I had a chat with a local painter regarding reflex green, after a chat with the distributers he thinks it will be around 1000quid per litre and 3 to 4 litres for a full re-paint. So could be £4k for paint alone before the labour starts. I don't know if other reflex colours are in the same ball park but I do also have a like for reflex charcoal.

I love crystal topaz:





Really lovely light blue / gold shades.

Crystal topaz is a lovely colour. But perhaps a bit too reserved? Needs a bit of purple into I think. I am after loud but not too loud.

Spectraflair blue, still a nice colour even when the spectrum is not showing

I think in years to come that Crystal Topaz will be seen as the classic Tuscan colour aside from the swordfish flip. Strange how fashions change over the decades.

Formula RED Pearl.

I went through this 2yrs ago, and ended up with a variant of Spectraflair blue, however that was influenced to a certain extent by my blue/grey leather.

Depending on your interior, my vote would also be for Dark Fantasy (colour which a couple of others have already suggested) if you can afford it. It looks nice but a bit boring until the sun comes out and then it's superb.


If you're after something which looks great at all times, i'd always thought a nice Teal colour with a bit of Spectraflair would work well. This Teal one popped up on my FB feed.
