    what colour to paint our other car?

    Hi All

    Our GT6 is currently a blotchy Sapphire Blue. We are replacing a rotten floorpan and lower rear valence. I have also purchased a replacement bonnet (red) which is in better condition than the existing one. The result is a car which needs a respray. Oh no, here we go againI hear you cry!!!:shock::PIts existing paint is sound, so no need to go back to bare metal although the replacement bonnet will need a bit of work as it has a few dents.

    The questions is "which colour"? To narrow it down there are a few restrictions:?-

    not white as owned several cars of this colour in the past
    not black as too hard to keep clean
    not metalic as I do not feel confident spraying metallic paint
    not British racing green as it makes it look to much like an MG
    not blue as I have recently resprayed our Stag "French Blue"
    not red as its too common on GT6s

    So what does that leave us with? All photos of your Stags/other Triumphs, colour suggestions etc gratefully received.

    Has anyone got a photo of a "honeysuckle yellow" Triumph?

    My plan is to do a rapid respray on this car so its back on the road pronto which then allows meto get back on with assembling the Stag.

    Cheers

    "HERE WE GO AGAIN" LOL

    Gotta be Carmine as we missed out on it on the Stag (then i can see a quality paint job in the correct colour for mine )

    Trouble is it can look a bit brown in the wrong light

    Good luck with the painting on existing sound paint:shock:

      You say you plan to do a rapid respray therefore it has to be the original colour. Otherwise it is a complete stripdown.

        Not got a photo (lost in the mists of time), but my last Sprint was Honeysuckle..... I really liked the colour, and it would be a good choice for a GT6.....

            I would keep it theoriginal colour, if you want to change the colour how about a true 70s colour MAGENTA, i think it looks good on a GT6.

            Sounds like you enjoyed painting the stag..

                I am planning on applying a coat of "barcoat" over the existing paint to eliminate reaction issues.

                    Based on the above criteria - Gunmetal Grey - looks good on GT6's

                      Silver looks good along with chrome wires, when I collected by GT6 from being painted (Signal Red) I was very jealous of a silver one that had just been done.

                        Load it up well and truly! bloody celly and other rubbish has that horrible habit of reacting overnight while your back is turned.

                        Mind you Bruce I think you'll be right with the reaction's and stride skims you had on the french blue.

                        Cant wait to see the results good luck:dude:

                          - no, not the first car, look further down!!

                          Personally, I think the off white looks the part.

                            Hi Bruce

                            This estate is Honeysuckle which is a really nice colour imho.

                            I have to second the suggestion for Magenta though - I love it!!
