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?

The thing is I am absolutely divided between the three colors... I'm looking for some outside opinions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I don't like red, but I'm with the crowd that says original is best. Mine is white because it is cool to the touch in the summer heat. I'm partial to blue, therefore I vote for Mexico blue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)
