Dark or not?

[KentishS2]

OK, I'm going to have the car re-sprayed hopefully later in the year but I don't know whether to keep it a similar colour or go for something else?

It's currently dark solid blue but the dark colours do show up scratches so easily and can look more scruffy than say a silver car.

I also think that dark "solid" (non-metallic) colours can show marks more obviously than a similar shade metallic colour.

The S does look good in a dark colour .....

Opinions very welcome.

Go for a metallic variant of what you have now...

You could be right Pods, been thinking about that as a good solution and may not need to spray under bonnet etc.

Pies is dark metallic blue IIRC and looks great.

I could go for metallic black eh Matt?

I've just fitted some nice new shiny chrome headlight surrounds.

Trouble is, I'd have to re-colour or possibly replace the blue roof

Well thats the colour TVR say it is, its an old Ford colour. Very nice guys at the factory paintshop even gave me the proper code.

Saw a silver V8S in Cardiff and with Chimeara alloys looked a very nice mix of "classic car" with "modern" colour.

Very smart IMO

There's a gorgeous Jag in the car park here at work, it's a mid blue but not the cobalt type of blue you see sop frequently, it's a bit darker than that. A stunning colour.

Black,not metalic,nothing gives a deeper shine

So's mine

Darker definitely gives a deeper shine. Just take a look at the pics of my S3 with the Griff. But I drove the Griff 300 miles through the pouring rain and when I got in all that was dirty was the wheels. The silver hides the dirt very well. Although I don't think a Silver S would work as well as a Dark one.

Hey peeps! My choice of colours are rover Trophy Blue or Plumb red. Plumb certainly gives a wonderfull shine on an AC Cobra I know.
