cool, lets hope he can deliver the goods, Martin has not had much luck with painters on here,

Mike

 

looking good

 

Got my fingers crossed on that one!!!!!

 

can i suggest metropolis blue looks good in any light simular to its last colour

 

Martin looking good so far i think standard colour all the way proper sleeper

 

Looking very nice, go for the original colour, that looked good as it was.

 

What he says

Think it would look terrible purple tbh

 

work looks really good,

You have got to be happy with the speed of the progress Martin, this is the sort of progress i like to see and could see me heading to "WE PAINT" in the near future

Although people say roll cages are a nightmare to paint and mine is a bit more complicated than most, whats Trevor like with cage painting work Danny?

Thanks
Marc

 

great progress

 

Looking good, decided on the colour yet??

 

Ford aubergine.

 

Yes these are valid points. But I wouldn't do this in those colours it wouldn't look right! Lol

I know which one I would do out of your 3 choices Martin, but aubergine is a good shout!

Trevor @ we paint

 

Few more photos from Trevor today He had to jump onto a couple of other jobs but is back on the Firenza now. I'm going down on Saturday to check it out (and to tell him what colour to paint it )

 

Mart,
Looking at the engine bay shot of the Chevy, I seriously think (in my TOTALLY unbiased opinion) that Frozen White would look amazing on your car......

 

Frosen white me thinks would look very nice but i think aubergine would be superb.

 

Actually Lee said white too, such a boring colour though!

THis one looks mean..

 

what about smokestone blue? martin not because thats the colour i have or anything

 

My viva is going to be this colour (when i finally get around to restoring it!)



Pretty nice in the flesh, similarish this



Yours is looking great Martin! Im sure it will look great when its finished.

Rob,

 

My old Corsa was Aubergine, looked awesome in the sun. Sadly now it is black.

 

I had thought about using this green..





And having some stripes like this..



Excuse my photoshopping skills!!!!

 

there better than mine

 

Smokestone is a good colour BUT it is one of those colours that needs sunshine to show it's real colour.

 

another vote for aubergine

 

thats true my car looks fair better in sunlite and how much off that do we get . do you like black panther black is a nice colour

 

I recon that design but in the same colour scheme as your escos Mart



I can picture this all silver orange and red.. would look the nuts!



Or you going for subtle mate?

if so as said Jewel violet would look good

 

ive gotta agree with mike i think white would work a treat, maybe even go with some gray or black stripes

cheers jay

 

Haha, photo shopping excused, yea really similar colour and really nice in the flesh. Always thought it REALLY suited the shape of car. My HB viva is a similar colour to your original colour too, peacock blue or something?

Rob,

 

i think stripes up the side would look well or 1 that goes the full length of the car either side and curls round the back 1/4 a bit like the old mustangs etc that the likes of chip foose have done

 

Not sure on the green, but love the black and white car (the arches do it for me).

 

Had a quick play for 5mins

Not to sure on it TBH I think Eleanor style grey on grey would look awesome!!


Grey

and in white

 

Thanks for that

 

I think your original choice of the VW purple would work really well , it has enough depth to show off the lines of the car and acolour that pops in the sun.

 

Factory colour for me. That's the colour it's been before, and I think that's the colour it should stay. Part of the cars identity in a way I think.

 

I think a car of that size needs a darker colour

 

How about this?
I think it's called Storm Grey.
Paint bonnet and wheel centres black and black stripes?

 

Think I'd have to b e very brave to try that Dan plus I want my wheel centres Silver.

 

original colour!!!

 

Said this a while ago it makes sense martin then you know exaxtly what your going to be looking at for a very long time

 

I know but I'm not sure the original colour is doing it for me.

 

flint grey?
