whats your body colour?
 
just abit of fun realy but i would like to now what are the comon bodywork colours we ar all going for so we can go for somthing diffrent or folow the trend if we like :)

im thinking of the good old lotus british racing green and yellow nose but it would depend on having the classic body shape

Bonzo 14th August 2011 02:09 PM

Red for me Baz

Although if I am honest with myself, a bit too much Red going on in my build :o :o

Something I hope to change in the very near future, chassis wise that is :)

Mines red to but mine will have some black added to it by the time i have finished building.

Mine is orange on the poll but its actually half and half with black wings/rear arches and scuttle/aeroscreen

baz-r 14th August 2011 05:00 PM

the idea was for main colour realy i only put brg and yellow as its a real popular combo

I did want lime green but have had a change of heart, plus also painting my block blue forces me to change!

I would like dark grey (anthracite) with smoked greyish/light blue panels :)

I'm going for a black chassis/body tub as my floor, sides and rear panel will all be mild steel, It meens I can just blow the whole thing over with primer and give it 3 coats. The bolt on parts ie scuttle, bonnet, nose and wings will be lime green as per my old grasstrack cars.

Mines Orange but with black front & rear wings, black roll bar & tub cover with an all black interior :)

cheers

Anthracite with black dash and aeros teen c/w white wheels

From day one of the build I had it in my mind the car would end up being painted in sky blue / orange Gulf colours scheme. But as the time to paint bits get nearer I'm having second thoughts. Part of me thinks iconic race car liveries are best seen only on race cars. The fall back is classic Lotus combo of BRG / yellow nose and stripe. Comments welcome.

lime green with black arches and trim with some ally and stainless.

arches will eventually get changed to carbon fibre (real) when i have enough pennys. :)
