Black, light ivory and silver were the only colors available all years.. 
Posted by: djm914-6 Feb 3 2006, 12:12 PM
Oh yeah, Orange!
These are the 1/10 scale RC 914s. I will be painting a few for some others and was just wondering. They should be forsale, but I'll leave that up to the one selling.

If it ain't Sunflower Yellow (Corvette Millenium Yellow), it ain't shit! 
Yellow is ALWAYS faster.

My personal favorites (in no particular order) are:
black, white, tangerine (phoenix red actually very close to tangerine), delphi, aubergine and of course zambezi!
Posted by: Midtowner Feb 5 2006, 07:48 PM
First choice: L20E. 2nd: L96E (Gemini Blue). 3rd: L98P (Metallic Blue).

fagetaboutit!
Too many choices and I'm partial to most of 'em. I"m just going to close my eyes and pick a bottle (of paint).
For my own car, maybe a panel in each color?

It's been awhile since this I posted this thread. I wanted to thank everyone for their help. I still have one more to do (I saved the orange for last). Here's the first batch, one black (I love shiney black), one fast car in yellow, and one inspired my one of the 914club members cars. I decided to go with irridescent blue with faux carbon lids.
