What colour should my car be???

I'm getting my Mac 1 9R in November and Colin needs to know what colour. i've got a choice of 70 RAL colours.

What do you all think the best colour is, I'm thinking Black.

When I was down at Newark, Richard told me that they didn't do Beige or Chocolate which I as glad about.

Ginger is not a colour that first comes to mind!!!

I chose Oxford Blue - i now hate it with a passion. Dark colours imho dont do the cars justice. Black however can be the only exception but will need very careful thought to final finishing.

Im fancying a re-spray with a dark metallic orange and dark graphite arches. i want the orange to have a flip / pearl lacquer tho so need to save some pennies.

If i chose all over again i would do a light or bright blue or possibly orange and go for the carbon pack as a contrast.


You can also choose powder coat colours for chassis just to add to the confusion (unless that option has been changed).

As has been said "The future is Orange!!" although I prefer the matching wheel arches.

Pearlescent Orange is obviously best.

Kind of like mine then

I was originally going to paint it dark blue but with a silver stripe, then decided on yellow. I went to Oulton Park for Kit Car Live and decided that yellow was too common.

Mine was the only orange one I saw at Le Mans.

There is a pink MAC#1 in existance already - Adam Plamer is the owner

I REALLY like the 2006 9R Worx demonstrator colours & graphics now owned by Bill Barnes

Have you tried visitingwww.m1moc.com and going to the owners page for some inspiration.

My vote would go for something along the lines of the 9R Worx or Marc Woodwards new steed as shown on MAC#1's Newark stand, the one with the white roll cage, although Bretts Gulf coloured car looked very nice too.
