hi guys,
What color would you prefer to go with the B5 RS4 if you got a chance to respray? I got a stupid lady (old..) driving a landcrusier bump to my bonnet the other day, has a small dent which I need to get it fix. This initiate my dedication to change color of my babe at the same time.
Mine was originally imola yellow, but had been changed to black by previous owners. My first pripority would be back to imola again but I am open to some interesting color as well.
I've seen white in a german mag some time ago, but this is not my cup of tea. what color would be the most sexiest and yet rare on market? If you go with Imola, would you turn the roof rail to black instead of aluminium finishing?

Go back to standard to keep your car more original.

If you have a custom colour is the car worth less

I think the most important issue is not whether it's worth less to someone else or more to you as the present owner- especially if you're not planning on selling it any time soon. Just looking at the replies above its obvious that everyone has different ideas about what looks good or not- Audi never really had a massively inspiring pallette anyway as demonstrated by the prevalence of Avus- a nice, safe, Germanic choice that didn't shout 'look at me'. Personally I'd be looking at the quality of any paint job, not the colour itself.....
I like Avus.

Very good point,quality of paint work is the biggest factor and of course not to pick some really obscure colour that no one would like

thanks for all you guys input. I do indeed prefer Imola yellow or Red, or Avus. I put Avus to least prioirty because it requires very decent paint work, any slight imperfection would be a disaster. Resell issue is one thing I am considering, but making myself happy is far more important to this

Sprint Blue or Daytona grey (RS B7).... newer colours on a slightly older RS4 would look the bo**ocks IMO.
