Help required - What colour for my car please?

[J4CKO]

Does it have to be an original MG colour ?

I think the Fiat Sprint Blue would look good and not too out of place.

Damask Red

That's what mine is!



Edit. But that's what it always has been.

This is rather beautiful.



or the Frontline LE50 green.



I still think it looks good in red or the Primrose.

Both of those look fantastic IMO...

Is that silver similar to the Aston Martin silver? Looks very nice.

I'm a fan of red but like you said you need a rich red which holds its colour in the sun.

Not sure of the blues or the whites/off whites.

Agreed, good taste indeed. The silver looks properly stunning with those wheels too.

I am quite keen on a darker silver like the first car you linked here, very nice but I might have to sell my new black leather seat refurb kit and buy red

The second car you linked is the modern MGB recreation (and £62k ) but I do like the colour.

It is such a big decision and an expensive mistake to make if I get it wrong.

I'm favouring either keeping it red but a true red with little or no orange in the mix so that it holds a deep lush red in any light.

Or, a good silver such as the Aston Martin Silver Birch or similar.

I like them in grey, not sure what shade it is...simple, classy...

I quite like the Mirage. What does the Rose Taupe look like in the flesh?

Many thanks for all the help & suggestions.

I think I have made my mind up.

Slightly off topic, but isn't it nice to see a proper colour palette, rather than 50 shades of grey black and white!
Some of those period colours are lovely, but I do absolutely love the OP's choice- the chrome sets it off fantastically well (and yes, I do realise it is a shade of grey kind of!)

Great choice, it does look beautiful in that colour.

Will you change to red interior?

It does look good in that I must admit!

A slightly smoked silver colour does look quite classy and timeless.

I just need to find the right silver now

I'd like the red interior but I recently bought an complete and new leather interior in black which cost around £500. So I think I'll keep it black.

what, primer???

you tube " a car is reborn". mark Evans restores an MGB and paints his grey in the end. Looks very nice

[flatso]

Gotta love this forum...what a lovely car, especially in the green!

[billzeebub]

Riviera Blue for me

[A900ss]

Signal red for me.

Whereas some colours come and go with fashion, red on a sports car is perfect.

(PS - I have to declare I have a red sports car )
