Damn it!
Thought I'd got my mind sorted at black, now I've got another dsecision to make!!
Car to be yellow, so what to do for chassis, colour to match or colour to show up cracks etc? (Paranoid or what?)
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Started out silver/grey but ended up white. The problem is that it turned kind of gray after a while as dust settled on it. It does keep you after it
though, which can't be bad.

I had a car with a black rollcage and didn't like it at all. Trying to work in the footwells was made hard due to the black color sucking all
the light out of the area and making it very hard to see things.
The mid-engine Mini got a light gray/grey powdercoat and I'm very happy with it. The light color helps illuminate dark corners by reflecting
light. OTOH, the gray color is "calm", not a bright color (like lime-green) that is visually distracting when driving. But, like anything
color related, it's all opinion, paint it however it makes you happy.

I've put gray but most of the powder coating is coming off in sheets. If I ever build another car I will prime and paint the chassis myself!

I had a black chassis and never liked it because it sucked all the light out of the corners which made it hard to see what I was doing. The last car
was light gray, Much better and far easier to see down in the footwell.
