Poll: Which custom color would you like to see on a 1/24 scale model 2002?

I picked up two of the Hasagawa plastic tii models in 1/24.  One will be in Atlantic.  I will see about getting either Malaga or Agave.  There is a firm called Zero Paints that does a two stage system and could likely match the colors. It needs an undercoat of Tamiya or similar primer as it is a 'hot' paint.  In the US, Zero Paints are available from Hobby World:  http://www.hobbyworld-usa.com/Store/index.php?id_category=1123&controller=category

 

The only item missing on the kit are the door armrest that can be scratched from plastic.

I'm still looking for a supplier for the paint itself.  I think it would be cool to use real automotive paint and get the actual paint codes mixed up.  Any (more) suggestions on a quality supplier at reasonable cost would be appreciated. :)

Okay, bumping this after totaling up the votes so far.  We have:

1 Fjord
1 Ceylon

5 Chamonix 
1 Bristol
1 "Experience"/Patina-might have to cost extra ;)

1 Verona

1 Colorado - the model already looks like Colorado so....

2 Baikal

2 Polaris

1 Inka

1 Riviera

1 Octarine -- not a factory color, RAY!  I'll have to check with House of Color for this one.... =p

1 Granada

1 Malaga

1 Atlantic

1 Agave

 

I am going to postpone this project because we are going to move later this summer and the current place doesn't really have a good spot to do a mini-paint booth operation.  It would be out in the driveway or backyard and that is no good for paint work.  Feel free to vote if you haven't already.  As of now the leader is obviously Chamonix, but they already sell the model in a "cream" color, so that is a hmmm...  My personal preference would be to do a Schwarzie because of the challenge of doing black which would force me to perfect my technique before tackling the other colors.  Still looking for the most cost-effective way to get the correct paint codes mixed up for this application.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
