I can't just define one color to be my favourite, because it's different on different cars. The F50 looks the best in red, the Carrera GT black, Murcie yellow or light blue, Vanquish silver...

Red is my favorite color because the ferraris and some lancias are red ....

We were talking abotu theese DuPont colour change pigments the other day as a couple were at Knockhill.

I pointed out that the problem I have with them all is that there is a point as you move round where the colour becomes a brown shade very reminiscent of kiddies nappies :)

Mates hadn't seen it before, but at each car as they moved each would go "oh sh!t, it DOES, that's bad" much to the dismay of the owners :)

Have a look next time you see one "in the flesh" !!

I know what you mean :D

I think I'd only want the flip the same colour that shows on that tuscan - from deep red/purple through to blue, missing out the yellow/ gold.

BRG is a nice colour as well. :)

Red or metallic light blue. Black (as I have mentioned elsewhere already) is for taxi's, wedding and funeral cars.

Be careful not to take a white one or you will end up at a wedding party.

I saw a Tuscan this colour today for the first time, and it looks even better in the flesh than I ever imagined. Stunning :cool:

also that rainbow paintjob... i forget what its called but it starts out purple with green / red / yellow / blue spectrums at different angles. ok the paint job on the 2 door pick up hummer from gone in 60. thats what im talking about.


:::EDIT::: "DuPont colour change" thats the stuff.

I like most of the shades of blue you get with the original Viper GTS, the paint jobs with the stripes. I also love black, and I also think TVR is the master of making seriously cool looking paint. I also like Subaru's blue, and I could safely say that Whiteballz does aswell :D

Dark Metallic green looks great on some cars aswell.

I'm not a big fan of Red, but some cars like the Cooper S look good with it.

Love the colour this Maserati is in aswell.

Also like Goldish Orangish paint jobs..

But overall my favourite would have to be the many different shades of blue. From Viper to NSX, they all look great.

By far i like the ice blue color on a car

But for a combination (dual tone) i prefer the silver and black combo, looks absolutely stunning.

Red usually. There are some cars that red doesn't suit, but not many. Tan leather interior to go with that.

British cars should be BRG/tan.

Hertz has given me a Pontiac Grand-Am 3.4 as my holiday car in Canada. Unfortunately it is a black one. Nevertheless I choose it over a Ford Explorer that also was on offer. I will only have it for three weeks, so I'll manage.

The best and worst color is black. If it's clean, there's nothing better. If it's dirty, even a little dirty, there's nothing worse.

Assuming it's clean, nothing makes a sports car look meaner than black interior and black exterior, with darkened windows. You can almost imagine Darth Vader stepping out of it. :D

Well white probably looks worse when dirty........ :rolleyes: You'd notice dirt on a white car before you noticed dirt on a black car.

Dirty is one thing, but when there's mud/dirt all over the wheel wells and body panels on an EVO or STi it looks pretty nice.

Dark blue. Or one of those pearlescent paints they had in NSFU: 1 and 2. Those were cool. ;)
