What colour?

[RUQ1KA]

well im in the begining stages of respraying the ea ghia, i have painted a test panel in the colour i initially chose, midnight black, but it turned out to have the paint swirls showing up really badly, and any little imperfection in the top coat was easily seen so i have decided to pick another colour,

i was thinking of something bright, so it wont show up the imperfections as much but i am stuck on colour choices, i dont want envi or blueprint, i was thinking a yellow/orange type of colour the type thats in between the yellow and orange looks really good on some sports cars.

anyway im open to any other suggestions cause im stuck on ideas

so what colour do you think will suit the ea?

[Racecraft]

the lighter the color the less it shows imperfections... That said though if you do the prep properly (with 1200+ grit wet and dry) swirl marks work show up with any color

Are you going to DIY?... If you are I'd say white or silver

[RUQ1KA]

yeah im doing it DIY i sont think silver would be a good idea as its relatively hard to paint with and im thinking that white is too common, although will use it as a last resort, i was thinking of doing the svo colours (white/grey) if i had to use white

Yeah, Taxi yellow is good. 7 months and i still can't lose my car yet.

I've heard Blueprint hides imperfections....probably why ford chose it to hide those 'factory door handle dents'. Pity you don't want that colour tho....

[Rmyers]

whatever you do, don't go mercury silver, that color sucks....

[RUQ1KA]

well out of those
i recon either blood orange, even blueprint but i'm just not too much of a fan since there are already a few ea-ed's with it on them

might have to get a photoshop to see how those colours look

[Valknutr]

lol, menace choose menace, or purple based chameleon
my cars about to become the greatest colour of all........ PRIMER!!!! :

[RUQ1KA]

mines 1/2 primer almost :

[needfordspeed]

I reckon you should go for a "non-taxi" yellow, I think that most people with falcons don't go yellow, because they think that everyone else, will think that their car was an ex-taxi! But yellow would look awesome with some nice big chrome dished rims. Try and get something totally original happening.

[Paris Hilton]

Bright Yellow + Black Leather Interior

[RUQ1KA]

with yellow i was thinking the ba yellow that nice bright one not that faded looking one though, forgot it's name atm:P

[RUQ1KA]

just checked the ford website and found the colour to be "rapid"

[LUXO_8]

its called rapid....

i think you should so it..... will look good...

[niko]
