Having only owned my JAGO for 6 months (mostly spent sorting bits and bobs out) I am unsure as to the "gayness", mine is yellow, has this better STREET CRED' than Red 'uns?.

Now I'm not going to join in any discussions of anyones (or their cars)sexuallity, but as far as I know there is no evidence pointing to any yellow inpropriety - B U T - I have seen photos of Jagos cavorting in woodland and they were of the RED variety!
Another yellow (peril) can only serve to raise the profile!

A pal has a Kamala, which he took to Donnington - The most memorable thing he brought away with him was the fact that so many Jagos were in evidence - well done you lot, even if most of you were gay/red

Sorry chaps - the new red is YELLOW, my Geep is now Yellow instead of green. (Apart from the tailgate bonnet and wings which are still green and not yet fitted)

It's a very bright YELLOW and can be seen for miles.

I've been brush painting it with Yacht Enamel outside and it's still not looking too bad.

So the "gay-red" bashing has started again eh?...........

The one that started it all at Newark '05 will always be the Gayest Red of all.......

Dont worry when I finally get my other one done it definately wont be Red , ironically it is currently sprayed Red over a pale blue body tub but will be Metallic Blue one day.

Yellow is cool , after all I collect Tonka trucks so I have to like it.....

Sharon's will however be staying in the "shades of Red" area with her Purple one , though for next year it will hopefully be more of a Cadbury's Purple than the Lilac shade it is now.

Huzzah !!!

Come on you yellows !!!

Dave- are you using International TopLac by any chance? I found it didn't like a second coat until about a year later and even then there was some pickling. I did mine about 4 years ago now and it does need brightening up now. I'd have to strip it completely or put a shedload of primer on it to allow sufficient sanding without breaking through.

Good choice.
Cheers
Ian

Confession time- we have not been putting much on the forum recently because we have been busy with Jago NPX (now gone) Sam's Mini (going??) and the Scamp which came in a variety of shades but is now YELLOW!!! Put on your shades or better still your welding hood and have a peep

Hi there Ian. not sure about the make of my paint, came from a supplier to the motor trade, mixed up to match a paint chip that I gave him - it is two pack (non baked). Was sprayed on top of Dacrylate marine grey two pack primer applied to rubbed down gelcoat, repaired areas, some of which were a layer of isopon and other areas which were new GRP (marine style)
Some of it is looking a bit tyred now due to metal rings in the tarp and general wear and tear, but no peeling at all, this I think is due to the prep work done.
Hope what I have left is ok (min order 5ltr) as I am looking for a body tub to make a trailor like tonkas!
MOT, called in today (loose appointment made for a gap!) never did get round to bleeding the brakes, but they held up for the test and thanks to the newly changed V5 I am now legal again.
Word of warning to those who have not checked their new style v5. My old style v5 described yellow as a "Jago ford" but the new one read "Jago ford escort"!!!! but after sending it back in August the new v5 now states just "jago" - suits me fine!
