Normal paint i.e silver, black etc - flips are big waste of money imo Two tone is ok.

Yes, flip paints went out of fasion a couple of years ago, but peopel still do them, which is good, as they still are very nice to look at and can make a car stand out.

Not for me, but still can look good

I think they did personnally. Flips have been about in modified cars for about 3-4 years. After the first two, most bloody flip colours had been done, it lost the individuality and doesn't have the effect that it did.

Just like chrome wheels are in fashion now, 2-3 year time there wont be so many with chrome rims on,

all imo of course

i think perly colours are starting to become more popular i.e. pearl baby blue with a very slight gold tint

2 tones were supposed to be going to be big this yr but only few ppl did it

Yes i agree, bright colours will be next years fashion.

I still dont wanna do all that though, still good to look at though.

Funny, i hope its light colours as i predicted at the start of the year that nexst years colours would be bright

i think bright colours will come in... 2 tone seems to be a hit too at the mo.... imo, flips are only really for show cars, not for cars on the road every day because one scratch/chip and its so hard to fix.
