After waiting since last May I had to find another shop to do my car...I did that and now they have the car and are going to have paint & bodywork done in 4 weeks. So I need some paint info...
If I can't (havn't so far) find a front chrome bumper I will have to put painted ones on...what color black are the painted bumpers (74')? What color black is the suspension? I'm still debating on the color of the car...original L041 black or Signal Orange (like my 1st 914 I bought in 77') I picked up a cool 1/18 die cast of a 914/6 Saturday that is Signal Orange...it's been telling me "paint is orange" ever since I put is on the shelf. Any opinons on the Signal Orange with the sail panels and roof painted the same color? (black pretty much looks the same) |

Black was an extra-cost optional color on the 914. I prefer the black roof panel on any 914, regardless of the car's color. Early cars had body-color bumpers if they weren't chrome. Might be a nice look. Later cars had satin black bumpers if they weren't chrome--then of course the last couple years had black rubber bumpers. Look up the thread on the 914 configurator. I'm pretty sure that you can change around the color of bumpers, top, sail panels, and so on. --DD Oh yeah, i've had the configurator bookmarked for about 6 months. a very very cool site. SO just looks a little off on it though but I've also got some good pics from posts here. If is go with the black it's not an issue. I'm not sure I like the body colored sail panels with a black roof though. although that's how early euro cars were I think. Thanks Bob! Bumpers anyone? Real nice set in the classifieds. I'm on it |
