I like the purple, orange, yellow, and light green.

Are you thinking of repainting your car Andy?

Can't believe it, but I am really down with the pink...

And while I am generally not a big fan of the bumble-bee thing, I really REALLY like the treatment here. Must be the border cutoff on the front bumper. I love it!

Didn't you JUST paint that car red?!? If you're racing- DON'T do the pink or purple. Even the worst driver on the track will do enverything he can to stop you. Note: PCA track records for Second Creek. Al Lager Engines entered a pink 356 driven by Milt Minter. So unless you're up for the challenge...

Also (since we're talking paint) I have a 1975 Signal Orange.
How Who Where. It's the original color of the car- but it wasn't available for 75? Could this be a custom request. It also has original clear signal lenses

Oh. What about multiple color options? Green with blue zig zags on the sides. There was an SCCA corvette at the Denver Grand Prix last year that had a great color pattern. I'll see if i can find a picture. That car looked terrible, but the same paint would look good on a 911 or 914

yes, fairly fresh repaint ...

so, you're telling me the racer guys are *attracted* to pink cars? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

what does the paint code on the drivers side front door-post say?
the square karman plate ...

Looks like guards red is catching up. Run the poll long enough and red will win, then you can feel comfortable with the current color, you can mark this task as complete, have a cold one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) and think about what you're going to do with the $$ and time you were about to spend on the repaint.

Happy Holidays,
Eric

I always wanted to do my car in a tiger stripe pattern. I think it would look cool on yours if you keep the red and do the stripes in white. Kinda like the Bengals helmets...
