Imperial Blue?

https://passionford.com/forum/pictures-video-and-photoshop-forum/160082-imperial-blue-erst.html

Why restrict yourself to purely to Ford colours? I mean, your paying to have it sprayed, so may as well make it something different.

I always loved British Racing Green

Ford colours - Stratos Silver, Magenta or Mallard Green, would look cool on an RST.

Non ford, Racing green, gunship grey or a crisp white metallic (like focus st white?) also vauxhall petrol blue or blue teal.

Not my pics but this is what a mallard green s2 looks like!






This is gunship grey







Not too sure what this colour grey is but still would look badass on a s2

I'm debating between frozen white and mallard green for my s2 when it's ready for paint. Think it would look nice in mallard with my carbon roof etc.

if we are talking blue, the only blue for me is Laguna Seca Blue



Your S2 with black wheels would sit so good
