We’ve all been there. We’ve all been stood in that place surrounded by cars - whether it’s a car park, showroom, or just out and about in the street - when we just have to stop and take a moment.
It’s because, in the midst of all your standard hatchbacks and saloons, there’s that one car which doesn’t ask for our attention, it demands it - like an attractive stranger across the other side of a bar full of strangers, with eyes full of mystery and a smile full of promise.
Now, the design of this said car is wonderful yes, it’s bodywork sleek and contoured with pleasing angles and highlighted features such as sharp, piercing headlights and curved roofs which offer that ‘come hither’ look to us.
Yet, it’s never the design which first catches our eye - oh no, that distinction goes to the body paint. Bold, striking, glossy, often a deep hue of colour, sometimes a slight metallic shine; the body paint of a car is the first thing we see - like a dress or a suit tailored made to hug the kindness of our bodies.
Let us show you what we mean. Have a look at these 10 cars with incredible, striking body paint that gets our hearts racing and our minds desperate to open the door.

Deep, thirsty and delicious, this bold and beautiful red brings all the raw emotion of a brighter red without some of the harshness.
