Ok so the cerb is comming together nicely. The question is what colour should it be.....

It needs to be quite a "loud" colour and also needs to be a cheap non metalic colour.

Yellow was my first choice but not sure on what shade.. Giallo fly??

So to help my decision...Over to you lot!!


thanks

Ah, not up to speed with t'others. Needs to be a bit bonkers though, something you probably couldn't live with on a road car.

What about Pink

Actually, pink was originally a joke but look. It would be awesome, specially with some black wheels and race graphics.




I think you should do it, show you had a proper sense of humour too

you've got to go yellow, and its not been done before on a racing TVR AFAIK. (although I believe Ceejays was yellow and black)

what about a matt yellow, can that be done?

I can't wait to see it racing, I think I'm more excited than you Mike hehe

As cirvy suggested we're leaving the yellow cornfields behind this year and moving over to the Tango side! I reckon a yellow cerbie would look great on track. My old Taz was painted in cheapo nissan yellow, easy to look after and bright on track.

I was just coming round to the idea of orange! A big graphic saying you've been tangoed! But now im back to yellow again! or pink! or purple!!! Guys this isnt helping!!!!!!

If you want to go faster it's got to be green - but then if you want real class & to look like the angel of death steaming into someones rear view mirror it has to be the blackest of blacks! evil

Whatever your choice it'll still look great (other than pink of course)

I dont want black as it isnt loud enough. The only problem im having with yellow is that my road cerb is yellow, so it just dosnt look anything special to me on track..... The orange looks great...

Maybe i need to go for a particuly bright yellow???

Nice pics fubar!!

Too expensive. This car is a pure race car so any kind of metalic/pearlesent paint is out of the question. (unfortunatly)

Wasn't there a really intense yellow on one of the early Sagaris models when they were all lined up outside the factory - sort of acid lemon? I can't find the picture now but it was so, well, acid that you could feel it peeling the cornea off your eye as you looked at it. Certainly would stand out well in the pack on a dull day round Druids
