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

That would suit me fine (being a bit of a goon myself

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

, just want to clean up the body a bit

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.
Trev's gotta be happy with it in the end, but either way it'll look good.

Might sound picky but I just hate how in certain light it turn a plum colour

.
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

.
I really like it at night under lights, it's when it looks best (from 30 feet away

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