Hi all

If you was doing a new build for a 7 rep like a mk Indy what colour combination would you choose if it had carbon arches front and rear.

All answers very welcome images even better, you can get creative if you like


gremlin1234 - 15/3/15 at 06:16 PM

you don't list red or silver ;-)

Silver, with a black line down the middle and black lip stick


kitcardirect - 15/3/15 at 06:21 PM

Sorry must be a grp colour as not wanting to paint the car,
Thanks for the ideas though

Why don't you use a Red or Silver gel coat!

Always think they look nice with the tub one colour and the arches a different colour.

White with carbon arches looks nice, or Orange tub and black
Although I'm a bit biased for the last one

I always love the combo of a strong yellow like RAL1003 (signal yellow) with black carbon arches.

Like this: ;-)

If I were to build another car I would probably go for Orange with carbon arches just to be different from my current car.

I do like do see white cars with black carbon detail, but I'm unsure if I like white 7esque cars

With Carbon it has to be white, it is the new black after all

Here is mine just finished

Mine is going to be orange with black wheel arches but given a choice it would be the same as KAR 120 C with clamshell wings BRG with yellow - IVA Grrrr!


metro6r4 - 15/3/15 at 10:00 PM

midnight blue/imperial blue and carbon arches with gold wheels


Irony - 15/3/15 at 10:44 PM

I like kgreen or white. But my cars all black!


CosKev3 - 15/3/15 at 11:24 PM

Yellow/orange/kawasaki green.

But rear arches need to be body coloured imo

Carbon/different coloured ones always make me think of old Ford Escorts driving around with a wing in primer!!!!!

Green with black front arches

Orange and Kawasaki green or topping the poll currently


Chris_Xtreme - 16/3/15 at 03:38 PM

Orange / black of course


DJT - 16/3/15 at 04:00 PM

White again. It's a great canvas for graphics and works great with black. Currently got Martini stripes, but might do Castrol or Alitalia one day. Black or carbon arches are on my mid-term do do list.

One unexpected upside is that I've been able to repair the single piece tub with boat GRP gel coat filler (after grounding the sill on trailer, trimming too much bonnet and a low speed rear ending). Just sand down with finer grades of wet & dry and finish with metal polish.

Yellow with carbon arches looks good, with such a small car it's nice to be seen!

I'd be really tempted with the Kawasaki green if I were to build another

Heres mine in blue with black front arches and some white thrown in too
