can't decide on a new colour for my truck?

Evening all,

im having my defender challenge truck resprayed soon and can decide on a colours, i would want a coulour that will go with my black roll cage, challenge wings and cross member.

I spent alot of money on it to make it look nice to was thinking a colour like G4 Orange or Lime green to make it stand out form the crowd,

anyone got any suggestions

Henry

In my completely humble and very badly formed opinion....:

Lime green is awful. Just look at lime green defenders on Google images and you'll see what I mean. You won't stand out from the crowd, you'd be a part of it. And it's not a good crowd.

For the best look, and I've been researching this for a while, it has to be black for roll cage, chassis, grill, light surrounds, bumper, wheel arches, maybe wheels, against a very light colour (not lime green), such as white (looks great even though I hate white) or like a sage green or something.

Personally I'm going for Atlantic Green, as per 'Heritage edition defender 90' against black wheels, bumpers, etc etc. Nice. Or not as you may think.

Red on black lots good too....

thanks for the reply, yer i like the Atlantic Green, but was not going to go for a metallic paint due to the cost. and a non metallic paint cant be repaired more easily i have been told don't know if this is true.

FFS can't yu even pick a tin of paint without having ya hand held...

Black roll cage and that stuff and orange body

Mines red

actually not metalic, like this one:

better represented here:
But without the girly wheels etc

Metalic paint needs laquer, your better off with a solid colour and makes for easier repair

No, no it wouldnt it would look sh1t and you will look like a tw*t.

No really were not joking when we say it looks sh1t. It actually does.

If you want to make sure your truck is guaranteed to look good I think the best thing you can do is paint it in any colour you like, as long as at some point in the past it was a genuine Land Rover colour. There are a few to choose from. No one will think you're an idiot for painting it a standard colour. Bearing in mind this also includes G4 orange and NAS yellow....bold colours, but standard, look good

I think G4 Orange is the only lairy colour to go for, personally I like the metalic grey and black combination

Nato Green... not that I'm biased!

theres only 1 colour

Ah yes, the colour of old Strathclyde Transport corpy buses n trains. Hideous.
