What colour Can Am

[Spid]

Picking my chassis up on the 30th of this month, factory said delivery on a body is 10 weeks so going to order when I collect the chassis. But what colour?
Am thinking of going yellow, wife recons red also quite like black but already have a black car.
What do you think?
Seems yellow owners get a bit of stick on here!

[eddyendo]

yellow, for sure. really suits this car as its so outragious. plus you can wack all your mates when u see them (yellow car game lol)

Hi Adam

Black gets my vote. Have you looked in the gallery - there's a black canam on page three that looks great. Mind you, orange with black wheels would look great n all.

Cheers

Yellow.
Outrageous car needs a loud colour. I now have black wheels on mine and it works really well. If you imagine your car at its birthplace, Le Mans, on the grid waiting to start, it would not be standing there with shiny polished ali wheels they would be black.

ETA. Yes we do have insults thrown at us here but we are hard enough to stand by our colour choice.

This is a tough one this. As you know, I don't really have a favourite as such but if really pushed I would have to say that a dark colour of some type would look good on the CanAm. It is very difficult to say what colour it SHOULD be but easy to say what colour it shouldn't; DON'T colour your car red, yellow, blue, green, white, grey. Don't even THINK about brown but then again, orange is a type of light brown and that very nearly looks OK. I am going to think about this for a little and I am SURE it will come to me eventually

I have ordered yellow for my GTR - the chassis is going to the factory next Saturday to have the bodywork fitted - I HAD intended to go with Black, but changed my mind after I saw a yellow one in the flesh at the FOD.

Yellow rules !! (But Black comes a close second)

Anytime Spid although Rustie's y e l l o w LS7 powered track beast is not back yet but I will speak with him and let you know when the time is right

By the way, no disrespect to your daughter, but she is wrong, so wrong ( maybe it is the exuberance of youth ).

By jove I think you are almost there!

Colour the wheels black too and that just about hits the spot although, come to think of it, this is a CanAm we are talking about

Don't dis the Can Am, lighter than a GTR even with hair dressing equipment!
Wayne you know a friend of mine Jez Parsons at GCS said he did a bit of work on a porsche you had.
Gave me your number ages ago when i was talking about building an Ultima

Beware Spid and take heed, all that glitters is not gold

Indeed, the fella is as sound as a pound and knowledgeable to boot

Just opened talks with R W Matsters (spraying A1 GP cars, did the McLaren West F1...)

Thinking deep metallic blue/relatively subtle red/white graphics/K28 wheels, gold centres. Sure it would look even better on a Canam without the large GTR humpty-back bit

2 interseting things: 1...The guy almost had a juvenile accident seeing the LS 7 installation and 2... said, jeez dodn't those rotten headlights date this car!!
