What colour should I go for??
 

Seeing as my car will be being repaired and then resprayed I need to get my arse in gear and sort out what paint colour I want to go for. I want to keep it Blue, but what shade/colour to go for??


1. P1 Blue.

5. Other

Out of those I'd go P1 blue. :thumb:

All those colours are not common and won't be cheap. I thought you would have to go like for like with insurance?

Not if I take cash to fix it instead and add cash ontop and get the whole lot done.
But if it was getting repaired by a body shop they would repair and paint in same colour.

Glass out and back to bare metal first would be my first choice and then the original colour.

White??

LoL

WR1

Thats the idea. :norty:

Don`t think I could do white, had a white car and a black one and they were murder to keep clean.

WR(C) blue definitely the best of the bunch, failing that the P1 blue but definitely not the WR1 blue.

Is it me or are there two choices for Colin McRae but none for WR blue?

Who's doing the respray Jimbob?

Yeah the second Mcrae should be WRC blue, I typed it in and it came up as that when it refreshed :mad:
Don`t know yet, thats to be decided. Want somewhere that will do the job for around £900-£1000 cash.

P1 Blue gets my vote...

Wr1 doesn't really look good on classics. Wr blue.

No chance, you'd be looking at a couple of hundred quid of glass work, for your budget it ain't gonna be bare metal either.

+1 Jarv,it would be a poor job I'm afraid for £1000

My next door neighbour owns Cymru Autoglazing, so not a problem to have glass removed and put back in. I can do that all myself anyways as I did work for him for 6+ months and have all the tools, and have done it a fair few times.

Never seen a classic in the WR1 colour so id be very tempted to go for that..

Yeah but in the back of my mind I don`t think it would work, looks good on the Blob, but as for a classic I dunno lol.

Only one way to find out...:cool:

Find someone else who has done it, or photoshop it lol.

p1 blue is sexy

No problems bud.

Oh and another question, do I keep the bonnet black or colour code it??

but thats just me
