GREEN IS NICE!

Everytime i see your car malcolm it moves up a notch in my book and dare i say after seeing the orange pic it moved up another two notches.seriously though i recommend a nice bright colour(orange,green or even yellow)bit of pearl then a bit more.That will really compliment those bling wheels you got.keep up the good work.

This just keeps getting better & better.....

you have to paint it red.....(j/k no one take offense - reds for wheels! )

i dont think it matters what colour you paint it, its going to look awesome! all though being a '57 (lookalike) i know its a shocking colour to look after but cmon' who forgot about black!

How about a nice copper or bronze , think deep with lots of colour change.

DR great job i like the yellow (which i mentioned way back when mal first asked for ideas) and the orange (no i'm not biased )i'm sure it will look good any colour and when malcom sees the photoshops if he hasn't already picked one of those colours his job is just gunna get that much harder

i want to see it candy like bretts with a white roof

Yeh,

Thanks for the colour inspiration, I was solid on my colour choice until D/R posted the pickies, then the wife says, that looks good, what about that.
Doooohh.
I'm not worried about copying anyone elses colour as I may only be lucky enough to see another car with the same colour once in a blue moon.

Mucho goodo! Copper or Bronze would be wild! Just not tiger gold.....

The side trim and rims lend themselves to a great range of colours, good luck!

i actually thought there might be a chance of it being red when i saw that rear brake caliper so nice and shiny red

Malcolm,

over 20,000 hits to your thread - congratulations!

Am enjoying watching your progress. Whatever colour you go with it will be a killer.

Punn was intended Malcom , obviously you didnt catch on , doh

OOOOH,

I get it, nice copper! Don't worry Harko, I not real bright but can lift heavy fings and weld stuff.

Yep, thanks all, now the colour is up in the air again with metallics at the top of the list. Choosing a colour really shits me.

Its the hardest part of the build, and the most expensive to fix if you get it wrong......

Maybe going to the local paint shop and getting a couple of sample tins could be an option malcolm.(250mls)paint a spare glovebox or something.take it out in the sun get a better look.

Not that I want to copy yours C/B but I have been looking at the orange on the new XR6. Manderine I think its called, and its metallic.
