Basically the car is being picked up AT LAST to be taken for its respray on Monday.

It was gonna be Riviera Blue, and as much as I like that colour, i dont think I want it due to another set of cars all with the same colour paint.

So need to think of summat and fast.

Dunno if i like green tho, but that kawa green is pretty cool, tho the Norris Evo is already that colour.

I like this quite bright plum purple ive seen, but dont know what colour that actually is...

Orange like shonkys Exige is cool, but dont work with white wheels.

Dont want any colours thats too close to a Skyline blue, want a colour you dont see em in normally, but nice, and pretty lairy too.

(Dynorod orange is too lairy tho and the type of paint means itd fade badly in no time unless kept out of sunlight all the time)

Purple actually doesn't sound like a bad idea!

Ford do that Aubergine colour that some of the very late Escort Cosworths were made in- that'd look pretty mental

Pon- Thats really dark tho isnt it? Id like something pretty bright, so looks good even when it aint sunny, ie 90% of time.

Radders- Fuck that, i want a colour i can easy get matched again when i smash it, fix stonechips, etcetc, ideally a flat colour, im not even into pearls and metallics really.

TBH rad, im just gettin the car took down there, im not going there, so cant really be fucking about sorting colours, need to tell him a colour and they do it.

Lambo Purple is nice, tho meant to be mega hard to get hold of IIRC.
Cadbury Purple is v.similar just not a flip paint, which id prefer as dont like flip.

At this rate its gonna be done Riviera Blue still

I thought that might be an issue - why the sudden change of heart? Riviera Blue will look the bollocks anyway mate, and like you said it won't look like a Calsonic as it's not got the same bodykit, wheels or spoiler on it!

Can't you postpone spraying until a colour is sorted?

That Orange Focus Colour is shithot, but...

Electric Orange is unique to the new Focus ST . The colour, bright and rich at the same time, comes from a special four-coat layer paint technology. Where cars typically have two layers -- colour and clear coat -- Electric Orange consists of four: the orange colour, a clear coat, a third "effect" coat that is comprised of more minerals than regular metallic paints, and finally a second clear coat to complete the process and add a deeper tone. Ford's assembly plant in Saarlouis , Germany , where the Focus ST is built, added special painting and application equipment to accomplish the effect.
So lets not bother

I dont want to wait, i want this car away from my fucking house and sprayed asap
