righto, nearly ready for paint on the old modified weapon.

currently cream or old english white or what ever it was.

what is the verdict on paint colours / schemes.

keep it simple with one colour?

go full mental paint scheme.

jet black with graphite grey rs200 decals?

what is your opinion, and post up some images please.
found a good painter ready to do what ever we please, so send in your ideas please.

we are in the same boat, trying to decide on a colour and if we should go stripes or not!!

i found a few examples on here if you haven't seen this already..

lots or all are photoshopped but still, gives an idea of what the colours will look like.

ps... awesome looking Mk1 you've got there!! looks like WA plates? i'm WA too! would love to see this thing on the road or at a club event one day!

cheers
chris

yeah, WA.

christ, thats a great resource.
i believe cherry red with pearl stripe is the go.
however the grey with black stripe is also trick.

if you can get the panels perfect enough, this one looks bloody awesome.

Love the look of the silver with black detailing!!

Will look mint whatever u decide!

B.

I think black really suits the Mk1 for some reason.

I'd paint mine black if my Capri wasn't already black.

Whatever you decide, looking forward to seeing it finished.

This may give you a few ideas [;^)]

does anyone know of the colour code for the dark green, as that might look good with a white / silver stripe.

struggling to find a list of period ford colour codes.


currently the cherry red and pearl stripe is my daughters favorite.
(humph)

black and metalic silver does kick ass though.

did they do a sierra cosworth in "moonstone metalic grey" that might be the answer, trying to keep iot ford colours, as the paint might be thoe only ford bit on the bloody car!

Ty's Sierra was moonstone and it would look awesome
