Ooohh ahhh!!!
I love the pale yellow on that BelAir...would look very classy.

The Blue is very very close to the idea I have in mind for my EK, just with a white roof instead of the blue pictured. I like it even more now that I'm looking at something similar in photo.

As the other guys have said Malcolm, your car is gona look superb no matter what colour you choose, courtesy of the level of craftmanship that's been put into it.

it is a pain colour choice, ive been thinking of painting the van shinny, the theme would be from the outside to look like a stock but lowered and a few mods van, the stock colour is morning gray which isn't overly bad but a little boring compared to some of the i feel far nicer stock colours, and then i think you have the same body work to do no matter what colour it's done so then i think of the other colour options :roll:
picking a colour really does suck i feel for ya mal

One easy way to pick a colour :wink:

Pick one that no-one else has.

Be Daring............ Be Unusual...............Be Really Wicked...........Be Cool.

But its your choice, and if you and your missus like the colour you both choose, thats all that counts.

Regards John

P.S......................... I HATE CHOOSING COLOURS, especially after painting the car, and standing back saying OH My God :evil: :evil:

Now that you're "on to a good thing - stick to it" think that was a Berger quote.......

I think it was the ad for Mortein flyspray that John Laws did.

"Mortein, when your on a good thing ... stick to it"

"Berger paints... keep on keeping on"

I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Youre on a winner there Malcolm, I thought the BBOOP car was a really nice colour when I first laid eyes on it - although I may be a bit biased, i`ve painted 2 out of my last 3 builds yellow.........
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Hey CB,

For the rear quaters & doors I've made a stainless filler panel out of
HR sill moulds. Still undecided as weather to do the whole car yellow
or do a white roof.
