What colour
Hi guys, I am about to change the colour of my car it's in White at the mo and it's a very poor paint job can't even wash it the
dirt away it's stuck in the paint, the paint is still soft from the last guys attempt of changing the colour. Any pics of anyones cars to get an
idea of what everyone else's cars look like. Cheers in advance

Mine's black - same problem - shows every bit of muck (see t'avatar if you wanna piccy). Go for something bright - yellow, orange, green,
pink hmm. A few of the kit manufacturers have interactive 'what would my car look like with black wheelarches / green bodywork (for
example)' see if you can find one of those 'apps' I suppose you would call them these days.

Doesn't matter what colour, dirt shows, dirt is always a different colour to what you have.
Just pick a colour that YOU like.
Personally I'd go for a colour scheme with a at least one bright dayglo or fluerescent colour in it so that you stand a 'chance' of
being seen by 'other' drivers.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I was set on a colour scheme, no problem, until I discovered your Westfield 'paintbox.' Bugger!!
Living in Spain, a reflective colour is a 'must' and they don't come much better than white.
Seats too, as black seats would fry yer 'arris.
I really liked the look of Gav-R's putty coloured Indy with a vinyl dragon-motif wrap. A real one-off and a head-turner.
Think I'll settle on all white with twin black bonnet-stripe and Hayabusa decals, plus the chequered flag wrap. I'll be different and go
for the white TDs Pro Race 1.2s. I know they'll show up brake dust after a mile or so, but the contrast with the black Willwood callipers should
look cool.
