Custom created Proton

It's too bad the Cadillac Escapade "CHAMPAGNE" (aka Gold Mist Metallic) paint is so expensive... I bet it would look simply stunning on a VX with pure elegance and prestige.

RR, I fully agree. While reading this thread that color was going through my mind to suggest. I painted my old 914GT in a similar champagne gold (Acura's - 1993ish). LOVE that color. I know my next statement will get mixed reviews, but I think the whole VX would look good in champagne (cladding and all).

Then do cream and black leather with stainless steel trimmed dash!
Oh, wait... I just described a Mercury Mariner. LOL!

Looking at photos to me the fox fire is closer to purple than red. Maybe it's bad eyes?

Must be your eyes.

Foxfire is Maroon. Not Red. Not Purple. It's Maroon.

Check out the vx-04 it was painted a champagne color... Kind boring imho

Isn't that why we all own/love VX's?

+1 - It's very much a blend of red and purple, and changes shades in different lighting.

Cost of paint Proton $300 bronze $1600. Which would you do?

Bronze. No Doubt.

Super color ideas guys. I wish I had some more VXs that needed paint and some more money. I think metalic red like whatever that Cadillac color is would be fantastic. Some of the nicer colors are 3 stage colors and that makes a repaint with no body work a minimum of $2000. I will do something different next time. Who wants to sell me a VX cheap that I can fix up?
