Hmm, a dilema. Plan was to do the car a nice retro pearl white! Now people say they like the yellow!

Here's a poll. Have some fun! I will abide by the winning vote :shock:

My only worry is..... what about the very red interior? Will it clash?

I posted a picture of a Fiesta Yellow mini in the resto thread, it's a subtle yellow that I think would suit the style and the period well. As for its clashing with the red trim, no more so than Cactus clashes with Olive as in Nick1854's 1300. :thumbsup:

That yellow is very pale isn't it. Looks almost like it has a greenish tinge too. Not sure it would suit really :(

Im in two minds, keep it white cos thats a rare colour and will set off the clean bright red interior a treat.
paint it yellow cos it will look good and the red interior will stand out as well.

Now that wasn't much help was it?

:-k :-k :-k :-k

Got it! If those who want it yellow all register with a few Mickey Mouse identities, we may just be able to swing the vote. Phew, for a moment there I was worried that I actually wrote that rather than simply thinking it....... :oops:

Magenta would be nice though. :D

So, even a Magenta/yellow top-bottom two-tone split wouldn't swing it then? :lol: :wink:
