a bit of advice
don't ask her about the colour scheme for your car. I did and now she's in a huff cos I'm not doing it as per her instructions...(it
was rubbish  ....shhhh)

My SWMBO has always said it's my choie, but she veto'd both black and orange.
She doesn't like BRG either, therefore I now assume she knows nothing about what looks good on cars!

Just asked "The Boss" what colour i should do mine. Green because we used to have a green Range Rover ???? Black because "I like
black". And PINK "Just Because". I suggested gold,white and red like the lotus colours. She never said anything just gave one of
those looks

I suggested the Type 49 scheme too, but she wasn't sure.
However, I went for red with black arches front and ear then, when she least expects it, I'll have the lower part painted white and a gold band
put round it!

The one condition that my other half set when I told her I was going to build a car was that she chose the colour.
Turn out fantastic in the end but was not sure at first.

Tell me about it. Haven't even built the chassis yet and she has decided the colour she wants my car.
I let her decide the colour of the last car we bought..........bright (otherwise known as FO) pink! 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

TGR......tell me that's not your living room  
If you can get away with that in the house you've got no worries on letting SWMBO have a say in your car build
