I know it has been done before but not for a while and a lot of the old links have gone.
I am thinking of changing the colour of my Cerbera but what to go for that is the question.
Currently it is Sapphire Black. Reflex Charcoal is top of the list so far or possibly 'dark fantasy'.
But what others??

so to get the ball rolling here's mine....
SAPPHIRE BLACK


Black in most lights but a hint of dark blue when the sun catches it right.

A lovely car!

With cream and black interior anthracite wheels you will need to keep the colour near black, IMHO.

You sure you want to change colour? Have you thought about getting the car professionally detailed and polished? I fell in love with my mystic black T350 all over again after a day in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing with polishes and waxes.

Black, or near black colours can 'die' after a few years. Easily brought back to life, and not expensive

I wasn't sure that there were many cerberas in this color...
Mine is saphire black too...
So, if you change the color of yours, it will be one less !
So mine is going to be quite really rare !

Why do you want to change it ?

I think it suits it very very well !

Oh Bugger! Just seen my title is spelt wrong. Can one of the mods correct it for me if that's possible?

I do really like the Sapphire black and a fresh respray might bring back the sparkle in it. That is still on my mind but am looking at other options while in this position.
The car needs respraying to detailing is not an option in this case.
And I do love black cars so if i do change the colour I doubt I will stray far from black or blackish lol

I need to give mine a wash and get some photo's now.

Can't remember the name of it, but it's black and has multicoloured sparkles in the sun.

My Tuscan is Saphyre Blue.
I find it shows all the tiny spidery scratches and drives me crazy.
I had it detailed in the summer for our driving holiday down to Spain and discovered I liked it in the strong Spanish sunshine but then back home and I dont like it again and its covered in little scratches again.

How about a black and put a spectraflair over the top? Invisible in normal light, amazing effect in the sun.

I get the same. When it is nice it is really nice. (clean car and sun shining bright which is rare in this country) but any other times it looks a bit of an off black.
That's partly why I am thinking of changing.

Mines a bit like that, took a quick pic of it during a rare appearance of the sun.
