944 Respay - Opinions Required
Discussion
OK,
I am going to bite the bullet and go for a full respray of my 944 - currently guards red...
So what do i go for, am thinking of a 2 colour job possibly Elecric Blue / Yellow...
Anyone else got any bright ideas...
The car is lowered, and mostly a track day mobile although does get a fair amount of general road use aswell.

We just did a complete repaint of a customers 996 in red-to-blue chameleon, it looked absolutely stunning.
If you are thinking about anything out of the ordinary, rather than just a plain colour, you need to call our man Marc at 9m Panelcraft on 01782 563664 as there is nothing he does not know about custom paint, he's done many show winning VW's and had the wildest metallic violet 911SC you ever saw until he sold it last year.
Another look that works with a bold colour (Speed yellow, VW orange, Riviera blue etc) is to debadge the whole car in order to accentuate the panel lines and keep the overall look as simple as possible, a plain colour is also relatively easy to match (important considering its use). I did a 924S in Mint Green once, lowered 2.5", Design 90 wheels & 968 rear spoiler, looked brilliant since the colour said it all. Probably why I have a soft spot for all the 964RSs with their strong primary colours.
Why not fiddle with a photo of your 944 on Photoshop and play with the colours?

Was that the one at 930 Motorsport? I nearly bought it but the colour put me off!
930 Motorsport - never heard of them - that ninemeister's much better I'm told
Jesting aside, they're one and the same, so you would have seen Colin's mint green monstrosit... I mean monster... for sale at 930
Ok here is my first try at a colour scheme, what do you think DeWalt or what 
Come on then Ninemeister how much is this going to set me back Including the 968 rear spoiler
Also what is the situation with swapping heavy steel to lightweight GRP panels at the same time
