Pink. It's FABULOUS darling. :mad:

I'd say either something really larey (what about a strong bright red?) or very subtle (ie body colour).

Black.
Showoff painted cages on the road are gay as watching Les Miserables on an iPad in an MX-5 wearing a tight Hawaiian shirt (with the roof down).

The cage in my compact is pink :D

It's a great contrast against the turquoise paint

In a similar situation thinking about colour schemes :)

I'm torn between doing the car Audi Ibis white or Ferrari Grigio Silverstone (dark metallic gunmetal)

I far prefer the gunmetal but being a track car the white would be more sensible. Will need to decide soon :)

The white looks nice :) I know it will be a more sensible option, especially with maintaining 'track wounds' lol

But being a detailer, i could do wonders with the darker colour :)

Either way a lot of other parts will be black with carbon here and there but the chosen colour will affect the roll cage and some engine bay detailing

Every week seems to change the opinion and having just resprayed a Boxster in gumetal last week at work i seem to be back on that path...
