Best color for P38 Range Rover

I went to the bodyshop just now to get the quotation. Well, they gave me 620quid for a crystal black paint job inside out and repaint the wheels

And just to rub it in you're probably only paying 20p a litre for you're gas

Range Rover colour? Who cares as long as it all works, and is NOT pink.

Mud!

Here are some pics of my P38. As you can see, the color doesn't suit the P38 at all..

And hopefully I can make the car looks like this

My favourite are the yellow ones but i dont think i would ever own one. If i was going to buy one it would be dark blue or dark green.

thats the same as my Range Rover, even to the alloys.

Just a question, will it looks ok if I remove the rubber strips running across the car?

Surely that is for you to decide. Opinions differ.

Epsom Green all day long as it sometimes looks black. Hey Ho.

What about Oslo blue!

Here are some pics of the car before it went to the bodyshop.



The faded grill


Horrible color scheme for the wheels (for me though)


Damaged clear coat and ugly door handle


Even the C pillar suffered...


Faded and ugly looking B pillar


Even the plastic trim for the window needs some attentions



And the biggest problem with the car is its color!! Hence why Im going to paint it

Update









My best attempt to get a proper shot of the new paint


There are still a lot of things to be done such as painting the pillar, grill, rubber trimmings and wheels. And I will also install a chrome strips across the car to break the color a lil bit

Looks very nice. I'm sure the pics dont do justice.

Mines Rioja Red and I really like that colour. The diesel is also metallic red but a different shade so I assume it's different but I dont know what it is yet

Yup, still a long way from finish. Apologise for the crappy pics since Im using my old nokia handphone taking those pics. I can't wait for it to finish

At least it's starting to come together for you. Mine is Oslo blue but am seriously considering it getting resprayed in the black colour similiar to P38
