ok peeps ,

started prepping up parts for painting , now i want to colour match these to the exterior ,

so weve painted the engine block today in standard ford shade polaris grey wich was the original colour id planned

but i dont think i like it

it was always the plan after seeing kevs polaris escos , but frankly in the flesh it looks wayy darker that i was expecting and im not sure if it would suit the car


so , what colour should i paint it , ideally i want it grey/silver , but what shade or any other wild card colours you think may suit it ??



btw - whites out the question


so , heres the options

polaris




a bmw silver i dont know the name of , like a gunmetal silver found on 56 plates ect , looks mint in the flesh ( neighbours got one lol )




my wild card

aurails




interiors going black , so thats not an issue ,



opinions ideas ,


beef

 

Polaris with black decals IMO!

 

some options...

















or lol!!

 

Ultimate green

 

You wanker Auralis was to be my choice and you got it in there

 

lovin the green,id go with auralis blue beef

 

I like the 2nd S1 primer grey colour

 

tough choice Beef.

not Auralis though, might aswell be moonstone lol.

this colour ftw!

 

auralis IMO

 

Beefy make it well known and memorable. Ultimate green if it was mine or id go standard looks monster power.

 

Wasnt thier 1 grey SI that ford painted
i dont know the colour but that colour gets my vote

 

Audi quartz grey is nice, my dad has an A6 in this colour

 

keep it simple and then wrap it

 

i used to have an e30 coupe in lachs silver. Its not bright silver but not dull grey either. Its a mix of the two and its an 80's colour. Cant put pics up of the colour though as i'm on my phone internet and dont know how lol

F*ck the paint for the time being and get the car sorted man!

But the grey/silver type colour seems to be the new black, everyone's doing it. So the question is, will it become dated rapidly?

But a series 1 in this colour would be amazing! (something bahama blue???)

 

Storm Grey?

as soon as i read the title i thought of this

 

Is it bayside blue the nissan colour?

 

If you want something different, but still Ford-based, I would go for Ice Silver on the bodywork.

It goes from this when dark


to this in daylight


and to this when the sun really hits it


I would do the engine block a sort of gun-metal grey colour, something like Sparkling Graphite


keep the top end in alloy finish and lacquer with some proper clear lacquer and highlight the detail touches like lifting arms, etc with a deep enamel gloss black


Do the body graphics either in a charcoal grey to highlight them or in a more subtle shade, like a slightly paler blue if going calmer.

Just my opinion.

 

get it done frozen white mate!

 

jewel velvert or how ever you spell it ,cossie colour .or gun metal grey

 

white

 

mercedes tenorite is a grey silver and really nice....
