those are all great colors. id pick a color that was offered in that year though.

[bottlerocket]

The original color is Agave...it looks cool faded but in my opinion not fresh. With the amount of custom metal/fab work I'm going to do with the car I'm not super concerned with 100% originality. I just want the color to compliment the overall period "cafe" racer feel...super low, widened Borrani steel wheels, Supertrapp hanging out, etc...

Which '02 is it, year etc., cause that makes a difference in which one of those colors I'd recommend.

I'm guessing by your color choices that it's something like a '67 since that's the only year '02 that all those colors were available.

Nevada and Bristol were carried until '72 but Florida, Derby and Tampico were really only what I call 60's colors and not even officially available on 2002's here in the US, only 1600-2s and the Neue Klasse cars.

Personally with all the '02s I've seen over the years I still have never seen any Derby car up close, can't even find a pic of one on the web....

I like the uniqueness of Tampico though.... Florida is almost to faded mute for me.

So, I've narrowed it down to Derby or Tampico... if it were me.

When I get around to painting my '67 1800 I'd like to do a color change from the original Polaris to Derby.... It will keep the red/black interior.

My Dad's Ti/SA will keep it's Polaris...

My '66 "BMW16oo" will be keeping it's Bristol.

And then my very faded Granada '67 1600-2, I'm torn between keeping the Granada or doing a slight change to the much newer Imola red. Then Pig cheeks or not too....

Bristol, Nevada, or Tampico. Bristol and Nevada could have been on a 72 tii.

the ultimate stealth color, less visible to the Polizei.

Since your car was green to begin with, check out some of the other greens like Amasonasgrun, Jadegrun, Taiga, Turf, Tundra, Mintgrun and my personal favorite, Resedagrun, shown here:

Resedagrun was available on the 1502.

When I had the hood painted on my Resedagrun '78 320i, I noticed when they mixed the color there was no actual "green" in the paint. It's largely a mixture of silver and yellow. Go figure.
