In need of some advice
As a few of you know, I'm building a kit car, well, I was until I got the scoob, and now most of my time is spent either working on cars, or club events.
I think it's time really to decide once and for all whether to sell the car, or get on and finish it!
A mate has just finished building his Westfield car, and it's made me want to finsh mine now.
So, my question is, what colour do you guys reckon I should paint it?
pearlescent and metallic paint are out of the question really due to the nature of the car.

It's a traditional 1930's style racer, with a Triumph Vitesse 2 litre straight 6 engine with 2 1.5" SU Carbs which give the car 120BHP (about 200BHP/Ton power to weight ratio)
I need a kick up the ar$e to finish it, anyone want to do that?

My original choice was Ford Modena Green, as it's lighter than BRG
liking the Gulf colour scheme
