Liam Warnock Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Solar yellow, it's way to rair on esprit's. But chrome Orange would Also be a great choice!

Simon350S Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Loved the original colour mate, but also realise there are lots of options. My fave colour of all time is burnt orange, the McLaren F1 colour, if that's any different to the lotus one? Essex blue is stunning, but then I would say that!

HowardRoark Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Its been a long time coming but finally.... The question is do i keep it the same colour? Apparently everybody that comes into the paint shop is saying spray it white! I like Monaco White with chrome wheels.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I second that. Crome is not really that good looking... I am polite I think it an American thing, maybe because many American cars in the past had big crome hubcaps. Where as if you want a crome effect, strip tehm clean, powdercoat them Black and then add special silver paint on top. This way, you'll darken the silver with a crome effect. Nice looking and a bit crome special bright silver paintjob is my favourite. Kind regards, Jacques.

ramjet Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Bugger! A decision has been made. I was going to say the winner. Fuschia Pink. Looks like Punky went with the second option.
