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!

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.

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

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.
