Colour for project 90

Hi there guy's - am new to the forum - so here is my first question. Am working on a 90 project - soft top - 2 inch lift with - wheels are black - havent bought bumpers yet - But it is becoming quite a debate about what colour is should be?? Its a 5.0 V8 petrol from a TVR - so I want it to stand out. But which colour - What is the coulour of you dream 90???

:welcome2:

Sky-blue pink?

Surely it depends what you plan for the vehicle. As a road-based bling machine, in which case a sparkly candy finish.

I've always wanted a vehicle in the very deep maroon (near black) you used to find the lower half of old Daimlers. But not practical if you're going off-roading.

Otherwise a bright yellow with black canvas.

Thanks for the welcome - Well i intend to do some light off-roading at first, it will be a bit of a toy really. But cost also is an issue, so candy apple / flip jobs are out. Always fancied G4 / tangeres orange! Do anybody know which colours are cheaper??

dont paint it Orange!!!!

Pink with purple arches that way it does 2 things.

the color stands out.

and no one would steal it and save on insurance

Dog cock pink.

Definiteky. Maybe.

Pink and purple hmmm... Why not orange??? The G4 / blood orange is great! In my opinion anyway, this is my first major project and i want it to stand out. Sick of seeing navy, black silver and green 90's.

Tartan ? or clear. Mind you if you paint it clear, once it dries you might not find it again!

No orange! mine the the only one

Yeah but Tangiers Orange mean either it's a genuine G4 truck (which is OK), or it's owned by one of life's failures.

Dont paint it Tangiers Orange, as has already been said, you will look like you're trying to make your defender look like a G4 model, which it obviously isn't.

How about Bali Blue Metallic, as seen on the new RRS and on Lara I believe.

Kahn Cosworth Sport RS300 Bali Blue

Defender2.net Gallery - 130/Amb

a G4 model?? naaa... mine looks like the Dynorod vans lol

Green with a white roof its the

How about ice white (focus RS colour) as seen on the RRS in essexshire don't show up the dents and scratches either like a dark colour :biggrin1: looks good wiv black wheels anorl

And if ya can get one of these to go wiv it all the better
