Brilliant red, but I'm biased.
Calypso red metallic would be nice too

its probably gonna turn into a "battle of the touring " owners up here If mine gets the stuff I want done.
I'd say get a nice clearcoat black paintjob-all shined up pretty, and get some non wobbly wheels on it and she'll be a goodun

I know I am a bit chav in suggesting it but i think a car in flip flop paint would be cool

My dad sprayed his bosses car that colour (Was a MG zs) when you own a body shop I guess you can afford to do these things!

Ho go on please say yes. I've always wanted to be a reble. My blue cab is in flip. Sold it to my mate lastweek for Ԛ£2.5k just to get rid of it and he wants it resprayed in flip again. I'll tell him Geeman say's he's a chav and you best watch it cause they still practice cannibalism where he comes from

Okay... I'll re-phrase that.
The flip paint picture that Dobbie posted IS Chav... it's like that Chameleon paint that Nissan did on the Micra and Primera... lovely. Not.
A subtle change in colour is fine, but not a blatent change from Orange to Green to Purple to Yellow to White to Black to... etc.
Know what I mean?

Diamond black obviously!lol.

I like that really dark green, not sure what the colour is called.
Just not silver, way too many silver cars around these days
