is purple a girls colour?
i quite fancy painting my chassis purple, with my axle and suspention bars being flourescent orange. i know, sounds grim, but would actually look
quite good i think 
but is purple wrong?
thinking some kind of candy blue with possibly silver for the body. might be too many different non matching colours though...

I voted no, but having said that, too many lurid colours in the one place at the one time equals a drift car IMHO.
I do remember there used to be a car I saw regularly in the 80s - one of my favourites, a Vision sports racing car.
Anyway, this had a green round tube chassis, black bodywork and compomotive turbo split rims with green centres. This probably sounds horrible, but in
the flesh it was spectacular.
Like this only with green bits.

Not the point though is it.
First event you go to, all of the fellow anoraks will be all over every inch of the car. No doubt someone will be like, "Dude, your car has like
a purple chassis"

i like it! can you think of any production cars with a good shade. quite fancy getting some (probably just from halfords tomorrow) to have a shot at
spraying. I've got a back wing in a reasonable state to practise on

look for BMC black tulip. Its a very dark purple (or it was on my 1973 mini 1000). Loved the colour, very different and was a standard colour in its
day.

I say paint it whatever color you like! What's the point of stranger's dictating what your preferences?
Then again when selling it, color becomes more of an issue.

Hi a bit off research will show that ST motorsport had all their latter cars done in a purple colour not sure if the chassis was also purple but i
have a feeling it was.
Just found a pic and it shows the chassis/rollcage in purple also. A bit of searching should show some pics off chassis ect. I think there is someone
on here building one of the last phoenixs from Ian in the same purple IRC.
Even the trailer was done in purple.
Cheers Matt

Err yes girly I'm afraid - too many blokes round here in touch with their feminine sides I reckon judging from the voting
However it's your car paint it whatever colour you want - pink if you like
