I am building one of these and need to work out what colour it should be.

I am thinking of a metallic burgandy or perhaps a Renault Alpine blue oir perhaps Ecosse racing blue.

All thoughts welcome.

If any of you clever graphic people can colour in the picture in various colours that would help me visualize it. Ideally with a colour dial that I can spin round and watch the car change colour at the same time. Moon on a stick would also be welcome

Anyway, pics of other pretty cars in various colours welcome. I was thinking possibly Subaru mica blue but worried it will look wrong on the period car.

Help me, I only get one chance to get it right.

Someone fetch Mrs Toast

It’s gotta be British Racing Green or Ford GT 40 Blue

it clearly needs a rainbow and spokey dokeys.

Even looks like you driving it.

What is it ? Looks a bit like a D type.
If so, BRG.

black looks quite good;

I presume it’a Jag copy…so BRG colludes in/emphasises the fakeness, something else says “fair cop”.

It looks so of that era though, something classic like Ecosse blue I’d say.

I’ve always like the Ecurie Ecosse blue too;

Red.

Gold colour … 🙄

If you paint that in Gulf/Delahay blue it’ll look like Thomas the Tank Engine.
White is too Chapparal.

Needs something a bit, you know, different.
Paint it pink and market it as a sex toy for whales, or a nice Fiat urine green.

Seriously, a nice Jag pale yellow, or a metallic Champagne.
It’ll look great.

What colour is peter perfects car ?

I’ve seen that before (and been told by the missus NO!) ebay, pistonheads?

Ohh and brooklands green, like BRG, but you get to out geek people when they get it wrong. That and BRG was never one defined colour, loads of brit teams made green cars in various shades of green.

Well fast in red.

Recognising copyright, I will remove the image if wca asks me to if it is thought that the changes are in any way detrimental to the original photo. 😐

No no not those ugly ferrari red …

Play with the design thing at Bus Selecta. No, it’s not your car model, but it is awesome!

Edited to say that the 550 Spider you can choose under ‘Model’ is kinda close (not that it’s what’s in the picture below)…)

something like that you wanna stand out imo. the new ford green shade might work. def be different. or a black pearlescent if u wanna play it safe.

I’m open to offers.

Renault alpine blue…? You probably mean bleu Gordini…Much niver in my opinion…
But then I am the one guy you don’t want to know which colour should be your car 😉

2005 Kona Explosif Green. My favourite colour 🙂

I can definitely see you in … pink

What about on-one’s “that blue”?

Holy crap, it’s getting serious now, I recognise a professional when I see one. Over to you DezB. *Respect*

Ignore this stupid car and think about the colour..

Im stunned by the sheer quality and styling

Lost for words

what a heap of crap, it looks like a school-kids vaccuum-formed DT project.

Paint it pink and market it as a sex toy for whales

There are only two options:

1. Gulf blue/orange

2. JPS black/gold

In tears at the hoff shop.

I do actually like stripes, so this is a bit more serious.
This colour

With a couple of these stripes in black.
