Whatever you choose ,It would be good to keep the body colour a neutral so later for a change you can easily switch out the trim ,mask up and lick the roof .

What about extending the roof colour to include the A, B and C pillars?

Probably paint the doors off the car so as easy as I can make it the better :wink:

Good idea, the only thing is I can't see myself spending on another interior when this one is still fine, too much cash was spent on this car on the first build :wink: , just want to clean up the body a bit :D .

That was something we were talking about. A colour change would mean dash, as well as inserts as it sits (using grey for the body). But a quick dash repaint could result in making changes later very easy. Nothing more than an insert.
Also Micks call of silver is another I thought of which would look good. Light body colour and candy roof. :thumbsup: 8)

Trev's gotta be happy with it in the end, but either way it'll look good.
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

Might sound picky but I just hate how in certain light it turn a plum colour :evil: .
Besides it will be easier to repaint the whole thing rather than trying to match the colour that is on it now, I watched the bloke that sprayed it make the colour and it was a bit of this and a touch of that until it was the shade I liked :roll: .
I really like it at night under lights, it's when it looks best (from 30 feet away :wink: ), Trev.

Suppose if it's a custon colour you've got buckley's of getting it exactly right then, though most paint shops can match colours quite well, even if doesn't have a set formula. Might be a different story once the paint is on the car though :lol:

If I had to pick one I'd pick the one you and Stu like. The other photoshopped ones look a bit ghastly :sick:
