    car respray- what colour? any idea's??

    hey,

    well, while my car is at a bodyshop having new arches fitted, i thought i may aswell have the entire thing resprayed, seeing as i have to respray a wing, both bumpers, the boot, side skirts, and then both rear quaters after its been welded.

    but, i have no idea what colour.

    its currently looks like this: (haze metallic blue)



    i was thinking of something like a dark metallic red, with maybe a blue pearl/sparkle to it?
    or, a dark blue, like ford imperial blue. i think im going to go for a either red of blue, but please put forward any ideas that you think would look good.

    i was thinking of a red like this possibly:


    or this blue (ford imperial blue):



    anyone got any ideas, and pictures of cars in that colour?

    eh?
    what you mean by that?

    i work at a bodyshop, so its only costing me next to nothing as all ive got to buy is the paint and then strip n prepare the car myself. which is good, as i can have any colour i want under the sun, for hardly any £.

    Arden blue if it has to be blue at all.

    Or 50/50 Arden blue and the blackest matt black you can find. Then lacquer millions.
