Paint colour opinions please?

What do you guys think of this for my GRP bits on the Locost?

To put it in perspective, the rear panel is aluminium as are the side panels. My roll bar is currently black but could be changed and I have no windscreen - planning to use an aero double bubble. Here is a link to some pics: http://gallery.me.com/craig.chamberlain#100014&view=null&bgcolor=black&sel=2

Honest opinions on how it would look in Cadbury Purple!!
Also, has anyone bought paint from this guy before? I'm keen to use cellulose because I've used it before and I don't mind lots of flatting to get a good finish.

Thanks,
Craig.

MK Sportscars may have a picture on their site of an Indy in this colour, Steve from MK did jave an indy painted and Logo'd up with cadburys in Gold if I recall correctly. It did look good

Danzoman has his car in a similar shade.

Personally I think someone could be "Krafty" and buy it all out. Also would the double bubble be an "Aero" screen, to give you a lighter sensation?

Sorry about hijacking this thread, I know its a serious offence and a poor "Topic" of conversation. If I'm not careful someone may put a "Bounty" on my head

This is becoming a bad "Dream"... How many chocolate brands can you "Wispa" without this thread becoming a bit "Flake"y? What we need is to "Twirl" things around right now to avoid the thread becoming "Twisted".

There - have a "Chomp" on that lot...

Didn't rover used to sell cars in cadburies purple? I'm sure I've seen it on 200's metros and the Cabrio/coupés.

Yep but the Kraft version is a bit more tasteful!
