[BMW] [M4 Coupé] : 120,000 Cr - Mineral White

It is a metallic white paint and I have not seen any other metallic white paint (correct me if I'm wrong) which I think looks really great. I only discovered it as I had won the M4 from the seasonal and had it in the "Yas Marina Blue" which the game classes as a metallic paint but to me it doesn't look like one and I tried to paint the car but was unable to so I bought the car and came across Mineral White. It is my go-to-white on most cars. Also, I think this thread is great, got some nice colours from some of the suggestions 👍

I will have a look at that!

Brief update to the OP, a more thorough update will take place in the next couple of days.

 

[Nurburgthing.]

Giving this thread a bump. Good info here.

Should be sticky IMO. Unless it will push sticky topics onto a 4th page.

 

[Callum B]

Thanks so much for making this list, been able to find some terrific colours for myself that otherwise wouldn't have discovered.

 

[HoneyBadger]

If you like interesting greenish colors check out the 90' Corvette ZR-1 in Turquoise Metallic

 

[C_Raccoon23]

The Mercedes CLK 55 AMG comes in a nice variety of colors.

 

[Callum B]

Can anyone name any metallic black paints for me?

Edit:
The tricoat black from the Cadillac worked a treat.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Is there any way to get chrome silver without relying on the (random) seasonals?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Buy the 15th anniversary edition.

 

[Madertus]

Is there a paint similar to the Fire Black from the MP4-12C?

I hate you for locking your paint chips from us, McLaren :C

Interesting information, thank you, will update the OP (when I get a chance!)

 

[glenn88]

Got a few questons :
1. What is the blackest black, i mean like the one that absorbs lights the most (solid)
2. What is the most pure white not the pearl ones that got a slight yellow tint on them
3. What is the darkest matte black, lexus lfa's matte black or the nero nemisis

Any help will be very mush appreciated cheers...

 

[Chrix12]

I like the 'Italian Racing Red' that comes with the Jaguar XKR-S '11. Such a deep bloody red.

If you want to calculate the selling price of a car, use this formula:(Selling price is S, original price is P)
(P : 100) x 30 = S

Also, more simple equation: P x 0.3 = S

Got a few questons :
1. What is the blackest black, i mean like the one that absorbs lights the most (solid)
2. What is the most pure white not the pearl ones that got a slight yellow tint on them
3. What is the darkest matte black, lexus lfa's matte black or the nero nemisis

Any help will be very mush appreciated cheers...

1 and 3. I don't have too many black blacks, but 'Obsidianschwarz Metallic' (even though metallic, still pretty good) and Brilliant Black I'd say. Ofc, they reflect some light and if you want a black that doesn't reflect light (as much), then a matte 'Nero Nemesis'.

2. 'Bianco Polo' is a white with yellowish tone to it and 'Championship White' has even less yellow tone to it (almost none). Both solid.

1. I find Berlina Black from the S2000 is blacker than most blacks.
2. Bianco Isis (Audi TT I think) is very white.
3. Nero Nemesis is much blacker than Matte Black.

There is also a Matte black on the GT86 concept car. Still not as black as Nero Nemesis though.

 

[glenn88]

Thanks mate

 

[Boone]

So far, I've received GT Chrome chips from these seasonal events(awarded upon golding):
Mercedes-Benz Vision GT Super lap: GT Chrome 006-W
Alfa Romeo Mito Sport Hot Lap: GT Chrome 10-W
Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione Hot Lap: GT Chrome 003-W
I did not see them listed and someone asked about chrome chips in another thread.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

M3 and the Imprezas have a great white.

1. Brilliant Black
2. Super White II or White Solid
3. Nero Nemesis in my opinion is darker

I only know that white solid comes from the Evo IX not sure on the others but they're the best in my opinion from what I own.

 

[Bo]

Championship white is very yellowy. Grand Prix white is very very crisp, so far it's my brightest white. It pays to look at the colours side-by-side so you can appreciate the subtle differences in tone.

 

[Callum B]

Arctic white from the new Mazda Demio sport is quite a good choice too, in face any car with something named Arctic white in it or similar is usually a good choice.

 

[ABP]

Championship white is very yellowy. Grand Prix white is very very crisp, so far it's my brightest white. It pays to look at the colours side-by-side so you can appreciate the subtle differences in tone.

The brightest I have so far is "Pikes Peak White". It's brighter then Grand Prix White. But I forgot where I got it from.

 

[Bo]

Arctic white from the new Mazda Demio sport is quite a good choice too, in face any car with something named Arctic white in it or similar is usually a good choice.

Some 'arctic' chips have a greyish undertone on them though, but in general you can guess from the name.

There is also a Matte black on the GT86 concept car. Still not as black as Nero Nemesis though.

I find Nero Nemesis is "less matte" than the LFA Matte Black, meaning it has more reflection to it. It does appear darker, however. There is also a matte black from the AE collection that is far more "matte" than the others that I have seen - I'll look up the number when I get home. Edit: "GT6 Matte 008" is the name.

Does anyone know if the GT86 concept Matte Black is identical to the LFA one by the same name?

NICKname [thank you!] updated the OP, sorted the cars by lowest price first (since it's probably what people are looking for), made a few corrections and additions.

Are you getting a bit tired with only having a narrow range of colours available?

[Make] [Model] 'xx: xxx,xxx Cr - xx colours, [comment]

If you want to calculate the selling price of a car, use this formula:(Selling price is S, original price is P)
(P : 100) x 30 = S

Car manufacturers with interesting paint chips:
Ferrari: Obviously the famous Ferrari red (Rosso Corsa)
Fiat: try the 500 R '72 for a nice bright blue (Turchese Farfalla), the 500 L '69 for a bright orange (Giallo Positano) and the Barchetta for a nice orange (Arancio).
MG: MGF and TF.
TVR: great for a range of colour shifts (The cheapest for these is the TVR Tamora at 70,940 Cr, you can choose from 21 colours including colour shifts).
Volkswagen: Try the Lupo 1.4 '02 with Fantasiagrün and softblue, also the New Beetle '00 with 11 colours, and the VW Golf GTi '01 with 14 colours are worth a look.

Suggested Paint Chips:Black: Renault Avantime '02: 52,570 Cr - Noir Nocturne
Blue: BMW 120i/d Nautikblau is the best dark blue for BMWs, LCC Rocket has a very deep blue
Brown: Mitsubishi Lancer '74 in Aso Red for a nice chocolate brown
Grey:
Green: Isotope green from the Lotus Evora is awesome if you like Highlighter bright Yellow/Green

To Check:- Other '70s American Muscle Cars
- Check that the suggested paint chips are not available with a cheaper car
- Add details of the paint chips awarded with the seasonals

To Do:- Add credits, for those who have made suggestions
- Credits are missing on the Honda 1300 Coupe 9 S '70 (how much does it cost?).

Please Help:
- For the brightest Yellow, try GT6 polarized 038 (how to get it? answers given below, it was an Anniversary paint), so what is the brightest yellow a non AE GT6 owner can get?
Try Ananasgelb from the Opel Tigra 1.6i '99 (updated above)
Also the Cizeta canary maybe even brighter, and it can be won from a prize car
Another post suggests: Giallo Modena and Dandelion Yellow are brighter/poppier.

- Zaphod2002 asked for a blue that matches his real world 2002. BMW calls it Fjord blue which is a blue with a bit of silver to paint his in game 2002.

- Does anyone know the brightest white and darkest black?Black Raven from Cadillac is a seriously dark black

- Any other cars give colour shifts or matte paints? (see the lists above)

Tips:- McLaren does not give paint chips.
- Racing cars do not give paint chips.
- Cars with stripes and unnamed colours do not give paint chips.
- Gold the seasonals for Chrome/Matte paint chips.
- Buy cars in colours you don't have (rather than choosing the preferred colour you already have which wastes the opportunity of building your collection, you can repaint most cars).
- There are cases of paint chips having the same name, but are different shades, or even different colours!
- When looking at colours, don't go by the small preview, often it is nothing like the actual shade (and sometimes not even the colour) of the paint chip.

I have updated the title, to encourage people to share their favourite paint chips, please state the name of the paint chip, and how others can get it. Thank you!

I expect, that requests for particular colours, or information regarding paint chips will be welcome, and am sure that responses will be forthcoming!
Thank you to all those who have made suggestions:TheAdmiester, eSZee, KWZX10, grog, Zaphod2002, TopGearFTW, nickg07, TheeFrogmanlego, dixonbaps, ProjectWHaT, ZDUPH, pk3r72owns, DaveTheStalker, Mercury1, Aobrienm5, NICKname, Steve Mcqueen, Nurburgthing, matticus88, MuoNiuLa, goukipau, raven214, HuskyGT, Hermanvongerman, shoeboy4, NJ72, Madertus, MadCyclist, JogoAsobi, eran0004,

Great thread! I just want to say thanks for this... This enhances the paint chip meta game.

I find Nero Nemesis is "less matte" than the LFA Matte Black, meaning it has more reflection to it. It does appear darker, however. There is also a matte black from the AE collection that is far more "matte" than the others that I have seen - I'll look up the number when I get home. Edit: "GT6 Matte 008" is the name.

Does anyone know if the GT86 concept Matte Black is identical to the LFA one by the same name?

Do you get the paint chip from the ft86 ?
Thanks for the answer, what i've found that raven black is really dark and nero nemesis is darker than lfa's black
Still searching for white though

 

[raven214]

What's the closest match for the Synergy Green Camaro?

 

[trustjab]

1. I find Berlina Black from the S2000 is blacker than most blacks.
2. Bianco Isis (Audi TT I think) is very white.
3. Nero Nemesis is much blacker than Matte Black.

There is also a Matte black on the GT86 concept car. Still not as black as Nero Nemesis though.

There is a black from the vw polo gti called diamond black pearleffeckt or something. That imo is very deep. The deepest I have (havent tried the other suggested blacks).
As for whites, whitest white from the LFA is nice for non-yellowish color.
I agree about nero nemesis being the darkest matte black so far.

 

[Callum B]

What's the closest match for the Synergy Green Camaro?

The closest to that picture that I've found would be spirited green metallic from the Mazda Demio Sport (new one) but I'm pretty sure there's one out there more accurate. Still, try the Mazda's green for a start point.

 

[Nurburgthing.]

What's the closest match for the Synergy Green Camaro?

Check out Le Mans Grun from the Opel Speedster Turbo. Might be a bit darker though.

 

[Stephan]

what's the closest color for the Time Attack Viper?
