I've long been torn between repainting the original Malaga Red the car came in or trying out a blue. The two blues that come to mind are Mexico Blue and Adriatic Blue. I think I seriously love all three colors equally, for different reasons.
The car will have black vinyl sail panels, a black targa top, and black ABS molded rocker covers. I am planning on running 2.0L Fuchs with the centers painted black. I picked up samples of all three colors today and sprayed some test swatches on a spare hood that I had. Ignore the paint quality please, this was a quick throw up job. From left to right: Malaga Red, Mexico Blue, Adriatic Blue. What gets your vote? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-19557-1500517149.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-19557-1500517149.1.jpg) Lastly, yes I know this is my car and I should paint it how I want. The thing is I am absolutely divided between the three colors... I'm looking for some outside opinions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
