AB is by far the best color, it has the most character and is the most unique. Except for maybe that weird gold that they dont make anymore. I'm super happy with the AB/Beige interior with the piano black accents. At the car wash everyone was crowding around my car asking me about it and the color, and totally passed over the BMW 6, new Audi S4, and a new Mercedes CLS

Is this meant to be something different from the original "Astro Black Register" which was started in 2005 and is 14 pages long?

Anyway, nice looking AB minis everyone!

Oh yes, please do. I was thinking about doing matte black viper stripes or an off center stripe myself...

i would say black most of the time, but if u remember back to the 90s when alot of cars had that really deep midnight blue, thats what this kinda looks like it direct sunlight. But it will have alot of character to it when it looks black. Its a super nice metallic paint

ok... Im kind of concerned just because I'm trying to go for a black and hot pink theme... not really blue and pink. I didn't really know it looked blue until i had already ordered.

i think it will look really good, even if it does look blueish that will look good too. But everyone will get the idea, and the blue isnt real noticeable, its just sort of an undertone that gives it cool depth, if you dont like it, spray paint it.
