Canna di Fucile Metallico...which roughly translates to "Gunmetal Silver"...which happens to be one of the many colors that the F430 (and other Ferraris, such as the F355) come in.



No, you don't have to get Ferrari paint...but you should get close to matching that color...it's just too dead sexy.

 

I dunno if this is a real color name, but i think it's called 555 Sonic Blue Mica. WRC Subaru WRX color

 

I like the dark greens and blues personally, so I'd say go with the midnight blue

 

If you want the magic color...the color that ALWAYS looks mint from the factory...no matter how much mud you've got on the car...you should get silver. Silver is the magic color that hides road dust and sand that sticks to your car from a long drive.

 

You all got some great throughts. As it looks now ill will go all out with my Tib. Im getting the HoK paint chip books so ill get a better idea on how they look. And if any of you need the chip book you if you want to pay for shipping both ways ill have it send off but you got to send it back.

I faced the same decision myself and went with black pearl w/ a little bit of blue pearl flakes in the mix. (unfortunetly it's barely noticeable).


Silver was my first choice but black is just sexier. Then I though why not get the best of both and go with gunmetal, or a silver gunmetal like artic posted. but black pearl was my final decision.

here's my.02:

if you're on the west coast don't go black (we have too many black tibs over here .....me=latest addition).

otherwise, consider a gunmetal-silver combo or if money os no option find the post of that bluish-metallic gunmetal tib with white rims and smoked taillights! wooo eeee! I have yet to see someone look at that pic and not drool. That color is really nice (plus you would get the added bonus of the "magic" of silver as dirt would not show easily, dust rather.

It's a very light blue metallic color and with the white rims it just looks gorgeous.
