Chassis colour change

[DJR 7]

I'm not a fan of the Red Chassis, particularly on my Car which is metallic green.

I will be having the chassis refurbished very soon, what are peoples thoughts on a change of colour on the Chassis?
I was contemplating a grey, i'd like to keep the car as close to original as possible to protect it's future value, would a colour change affect this?

Any colour beats rust brown i guess !!

If you're going to keep it clean, go for a pale colour. If you aren't, go for a dark colour.

My chassis is black.

Black Is another option, it's the red I'm not over keen on

The Red and Green don't actually look that bad together, I'm just not a fan of the red chassis.
Some great pics, clearly colour isn't really an issue, still think it'll be grey for me

Eta.
Back on topic, if it really matters what colour you paint the chassis will it look good next to all the other components?
Silicone hoses, cable ties, spring etc.
Is there scope for painting things that move a contrasing colour, without it looking too busy?

I think that's a valid point, most of the items i am preparing for the rebuild are basic colours. I.E hubs are plated, calipers are black etc.

To my mind the bonus of a light coloured chassis is the advantage of seeing any chips/damage that occurs, therefore addressing it before it gets to far.

[quote=AJC77]My S is Cureton Green (similar to BRG) and when I had my body off the chassis colour was changed from powder coated white to painted metallic silver and was very happy with both the result and look. So I'd say go for it!

That's a better colour!
