Paint Job - What Colour??

[Rickbmw1984]

Hi there,

Not BMW related im afraid. Im currently doing a track car Nova with the 2 litre red top engine in. Im at the painting stage and am torn on which colours to have! I was originally going with a Kawasaki Green with black wheels/roll cage etc but after seeing a few of them about i realised i dont want to fit in with the crowd.

I want something stand out without being A) Too over the top and B) fancy effects, flip paint etc.

I like the Jade colour which is a funny kharki green sort of colour but am open to all suggestions!

Ill need to punish myself for saying this but the ford range of colours is really nice!

focus rs orange
with the wheels and cage in the rs blue

or vice versa?

Bright orange or yellow?

I like daz's suggestion. That would look cool with the blue roll cage! What about the whole interior blue?

Peugeot do a lovely orange / gold metallic

Depends how much you want to pay! Metallics will always cost more.

Gold

well i planned for about £600 on paint so that should buy me most colours.

not liking the blue and orange suggestion sorry i want something not that stand out. ST Orange was an option but again people do them and im trying to be different. I even though of a metallic brown colour. sounds rank but i thought would look ace on gold rims. A stripped out euro look nova almost

nato blue then with rusty wide steelies lol

bit too retro that mate but the nato blue is nice!

What about Ford Grabber Blue with matt black wheels and some matt black stripes/details?

[Rickbmw1984]

hmm very tempting i like the blue there.

Or "Leyton House" blue? Used to have a mini this colour

Like the green. That would look great with black wheels and a few black details.

Not too sure on the brown

yea the greenand black is a winner for me....its a bit less sharp than kawasaki green but still bold enough to stand out.
