Beef,get the colour code and price it up at your local paint factors.I did for my motorbike which I painted ultimate green,the paintshop got the code sent through from Germany.I had a load of pricks telling me it was Ł100 per litre!!!it consists of basecoat green and a gold laquer and then the clearcoat on top.

You should be able to get that Ferrari colour easily.wouldn't bother with lachs silver myself,looks very dated in the flesh.

Frozen White would be my choice but if its got to be a grey they do a lovely one on the Honda civic type r.

I made mine up for my golf alloys out of panther black and moondust silver,iirc it was about 40/60 and it looks amazing in the flesh,there's so many different pearls in it it glows beautifully in the sun,as it's a one off you can always experiment.

I think it looks awesome myself.they should be able to do it from the colour code,the computer does the rest.I just did my Beemer cab Ferrari rossi corsa 3009 basecoat/laquer,stunning red colour.

Ferrari website may help?with the colour code they can type it into the system and way to go.

aye steve , its got the attributes i was looking for in polaris grey , but its that little bit lighter ,

when i saw the polaris escos it was on a bright sunny day , i see now then when the sun aint on it its a lot darker than i expected ,

i reckon the seal grey is a few shades lighter , but still retaining that light /dark grey silver look i was after ,


anyone know how many porsche shades there is ?

IMO the only colour an S1 can really be is bright white(frozen white would look the nuts!!!)

Each to their own of course though!

Keep it a Ford colour I reckon. Aqaufoam blue looks good on an S1, was one round my way many years ago. Also Moonstone looks dead good, especially with a set of 3dr rims.
