Update, Painted the inside of the boot and interior, a little bit of flatting to do where the over spray has gone then buffing. Then the doors and windows can be masked off and the body can be painted.

What do you lads think?

Put a reflective stripe around the car half way up and you'll be sorted! No I like it, but I'm not the one having to live with it.

Thats a good colour,

reminds me of that american mk1 racer (Bobb on here?)

would look wrong IMO with a white roof, black or monotone would work well though I think.

Looks like BL Vermilion to me (sp?)

The fact that you are asking others opinions on the colour makes me think you don't like it.

Choose a colour that you like and forget what others think.

If you want my opinion though, it's inoffensive and will stand out without being to much.

I think it'd look good with green arches and roof. You'd certainly be unique with that colour combination!

Well i was thinking Black Roof, Black Dash Orange Body. The Fact that it will be stripped out the interior will be orange.

Im going to be buying at least 3 litres, as its going to paint like it is. I want it painted inside out upside down.

I've always liked orange. I had an orange clubby with a grey interior which I though went quite well

Although I think the orange and black would be good to. *smiley*

BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....

That said my British Open is BRG, couldn't get a more classic colour than that, yet I make Nic look promiscuous.

I think the orange just looks brighter at the mo because of the white. Once it is all orange with black roof it will look cool!
