Will you like it in Yellow? - time for color choosing again.
I am working on my #3 car - (#2 has no bodywork) and it's time to start in on the paint question again. What colors are your fave?
How does yellow strike you?

Yellow looks great - like the silver stripe as well.

yellow is nice, i'm thinking of going for yellow with graphite grey here and there. Great combo.
Have a look at some lotus elise combinations, they will give you some ideas.

There is an Elise around this area that has a chromium yellow paint job that is spectacular. I admit to an affinity towards yellow, silver and black.
So classic
I am definitely interested in discovering colors that are not usual. Unfortunately the sporty palette is fairly limited to primary and secondary
colors. I would say that a main goal for this next color is to choose something that will be magazine friendly.
Hammerhead, What is the car in your avatar? And where can I see more of it?
Thanks.

yellow is underestimated in my opinion - I was going to buy a yellow Cupra but had too many negative comments. Looks good in yellow to me

Hi steve,
the car in the avatar is a lotus 2-eleven, autocar and pistonheads just did a test so there are loads of photos online.
My car will be very much inspired by the 2-11, and I already have the elise front and rear clams. I will post pics when I have them.
Cheers.
Steve.

Yeah, yellow seems to be winning - but had I posted a photo of it in Orange, how many orange votes would there be?!

I'd say, for a little extra touch, yellow, or orange, maybe even red, with the strip in carbon fibre. It won't be cheap but it'll look
cool. GD did a T70 with it, and it looked quite snazzy.
Or a scheme like this:

If you do it yellow you'll get more flies, they love yellow cars and sunny days

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Much as I like yellow, most sportscars are red or black for a reason. All goes back to "power colours".
Black is (IMHO) nice in the flesh but harder to photograph in order to show off lines properly.

bright metallic silver. Customer choice. But I love silver. It's just a bit common that's all. However, the shape will look good in
silver!

The only drawback of silver is that is an invisible color at certain hours.
putting that aside, I like it, it`ll look great.

A nice metallic graphite or gun metal grey with silver accents would look excellent on that car
