I was going to paint the 74 yellow to match my old car. But started thinking that the old car was the old car. This is not the old car so it should be different. I am going to shoot it in Acrylic Laquer and found these colors. Cant decide which color to go with. Help me decide which color to go with. These are the only choices I would accept.
Below are the colors, Burgundy metallic, Yellow, Saphire blue metallic Gunmetal Grey metallic, electric blue metallic, silve metallic and teal metallic. What do you all think? Attached thumbnail(s) |

the gunmetal color would be sweet...
the burgandy kinda looks like aubergine, which is about as cool as it gets! I'm sure it won't look like that on the car though... if the burgandy IS that dark on car, then I would go with that |

They do offer a Lawrence color choice but if everyone paints their cars that color, everyone else would get the wrong idea about us. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

That gunmetal is hard-core. If I'd had a better body to start with, I'd have gone there. Maybe my next car...
Actually, I LOVE that flat-grey that Audi has. I see TTs with it. No metalic...just a real warm grey. That with Ox-Blood leater is my next 914. |

Not another one! Group: Benefactors Posts: 4,526 Joined: 1-March 04 From: San Mateo, CA Member No.: 1,743 |
Of your choices, the electric blue. I hate metallics, and grey is still boring if you call it "gunmetal".
First choice with no restrictions would be really dark blues or greens, so dark that they look black in anything but daylight. |

I am leaning towards the Electric blue metallic but am still open to you guys influence. The interior will be black so I can pretty much go with anything. Its really just a AX/driver, not a show car or anything. I just want to be seen when I am out driving it.
As for my wife or my girlfriend, the wife doesnt car as she hates the car and we really arent that type of married couple. |

Ble is always a great color... but something about the gunmetal is really appealing with the 914 in mind
