Stag colour choice..

[Jon Tilson]

My major Stag body resto is nearing the point of choosing the colour...<br>
<br>
What should it be? It was white out of the box, its been red and it was (mostly) green before we started.<br>
<br>
I have a yen for Saphire blue...Its a 72 on an L<br>
<br>
What do you guys reckon?<br>

I just sprayed the inside of my Sprint in French Blue and it looks really great.<br>
Worth considering.<br>

I was going to say Russet as I know you are a big fan!<br>
<br>
If it was me, I really like Carmine on a Stag. Mines a 74' in Mallard. I saw a freshly painted Spit at Jigsaw in Mallard that looked so much better than mine.<br>

I like mallard and did see a gorgeous stag in one recently near Moss in Hanworth...wasn't you Scott was it?<br>
ISTR it goes very bloomy and fades badly.<br>
<br>
Carmine I like too but again it seems to fade a lot...seen Alun's Sprint? His 2 pack wing is fine though...<br>
<br>
Maybe 2 pack anything would be better than original?<br>

Java, I like it the more dust I clean off the one in the garage <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ....<br>

<br>
And I like any Blue/Red stag to be honest. Nice to be different though....how about burnt metallic orange <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

.....of my Dad's had a Stag which was a special factory order in black. I always thought it looked the dogs.

wasnt available in that model year. Its a bit Mini too.<br>
I REALLY like that gunmetal one but have decided it must be an original Triumph colour.<br>
Black...hmmmm...show the dirt too much.<br>
<br>
Carmine, damson or Saphire...<br>
<br>
Whadya all think..<br>

That green one doesn't look too different a shade to my 2000, which I was sure was emerald (going by invoices for tins of paint for it in the not so distant past).<br>
<br>
Although I don't really like green, I think it looks rather good on the car <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I reckon that bottom picture is Maple and that was going to be my suggestion...set of very nicely by all the chrome.<br>
<br>
My Jensen was Copper Brown (the colour of coppaslip) and was slightly metallic; very distinguished looking, more orange than brown.<br>
<br>
...and I'll have you know that since Jod and Susie polished my car at TDCIR back in September it all looks good now...though it KDU with a re-buff if either of you are listening<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Nah, blue makes it look like a journeyman innsbruck 2000 from the front<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I know you dont like it Jon,but come to your senses,and go for Topaz Orange..<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

[Jon Tilson]

I like the blue one too....That is Saphire I think...<br>
<br>
I like the reds too..<br>
<br>
Maple wasnt metallic...I think thats a Jaguar colour in the pic..They did some nice ones like Antelope and Curlew. Mind you any colour looks good on a series 3 XJ6.<br>
<br>
And any stag looks like an Innsbruck from the front...they are the same...<br>
<br>
Sorry Reg...Topaz reminds me of saffron...close to Sandglow as my least fav colour.<br>

No they are not, all front panels are different. Those blokes that used to put V8s into the Innsbrucks used to graft the stag front end on first, inner and outer!
