914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Help! What color to paint stripes on 914-6

Posted by: Racing914six Dec 5 2005, 07:07 PM

The wide body 3.2 track beast is at the paint shop. Orginally, the 914 was Malaga Red (light Burgandy - Dark Red). Well, goal was to go back with the orginal paint, but opps it is too dark . The jagged stripes on the car were going to be silver and then out line the jagged stripes in black. But, now, not so sure.

So should it be gold or silver??? Or maybe another option?

What do you think???

Oh the 10.5x16 and 12x16 wheels are gold in color.

Thanks

Jim

i have that same AIR catalog somewhere in my stash!

how was the fitting of the FG components ???

anyways, with the dark red, i think gold would be a better contrast than silver ...
