What's your favourite colour to detail?

[SimonR.]

Personally I'm going to say red as the results/work shows more (imo)

Fire away...

 

[jonny_rs]

Silver, it hides my awful detailing skills

 

[slob]

Black for the half hour it stays clean.

 

[JD]

Flame red. Followed by Monaco. If we're talking Clio colours.

 

[VIICarCare]

black, flame red & monaco

 

[Kane.]

Out of the cars I've done it would be my brothers 206.... In the sun it is a lovely colour.

Obviously that pic is before correction.

 

[Chapppers11]

Only ever owned my red clio, but it comes up so nice on a weekend!

 

[Kirsten]

racing blue

 

[JamesBryan]

My Flame Red 1.2 :approve:

 

[Gally]

Hmm, black without a shadow of a doubt is best to detail. The reflections and depth of colour sometimes is incredible.

Red is one I have such a soft spot for, i've always loved red cars.

And one of my favourites is grey like on the newer stle M5's ect... so much flake pop although reflections and depth of colour isn't there it's still very rewarding.

I think the car and shape of the car has a lot to do with it. I'd rather do a horrible colour M3 than a clean black Citroen C3 or something equaly as bad.

 

[Christopher]

Racing Blue because it looks wet so easily.

Then Imola Red or Silver Grey.

 

[Dave Hester]

Mondial blue looks amazing in the sun

 

[Dave..]

Black cars are generally a pain in the arse to do, but when done properly, look awesome for it.

Red's always nice to do, the colour always comes out brighter than when you started.

Like Gally's said as well, the Grey BMWs come up really nicely, I've got some pictures from an M3 that I had this weekend, but flickr wants me to pay to put them up /tightfecker.

 

[Gally]

Racing Blue because it looks wet so easily.

Then Imola Red or Silver Grey.

Those pictures of the guy who nxt tech'd his RB with no machine work says it all!

It was dripping wet, looked immense, i'm sure up close it might have been a different story but same goes for most cars including my own.

 

[frayz]

Inferno, but im bias

Have a blue/black pearl impreza too which looks epic in the sun

 

[Christopher]

I need to get some up of our SIlver Grey FamilyTank. Bar the dog's claw marks on the rear bumper, it looked great last time I did it.

 

[yellowbelly]

Black, simply because its the most rewarding colour after spending hours on it. second to that i do love RB.

Second to that i do love RB and also the MCS Dark Grey

MCS dark grey is very epic! Flake pop!

 

[Y7 ADW]

Already been said, but Racing Blue looks amazing when detailed. Even after just a shampoo, the paintwork looks so wet. Red also has to be a favourite..

 

[Jimbo_M]

If we're talking clio colours then for me it is capsicum red, but mondial is rewarding as it black gold, never had the chance to detail an RB yet

 

[Rich_172]

Black always gives awesome results, but can b a pain. really enjoyed doing a mates leon cupra r that was gunmetal grey

 

[Cliotoby]

Reds. Metallic.

Racing blue is awful. Most unflattering colour there is IMO.

 

[JD]

For shine, perhaps, but for wet look/slick paint, flat colours are much better. Think flat reds, yellows etc. RB falls into that category. I don't get decent reflections on mine, but it looks like it's still wet from paint.
