RE: Builder's Ultima GTR
Discussion
Builder,
Not a very originol colour though. But I must admit, when you can have any colour you can think of it's a bit of a head
. It took me over 6 months to decide on the colour for my Noble and I still keep thinking about changing. Martin.
PS - I'm having it in Polynesian Metalic (think Rover Tomcat)

As for color, I haven't really decided. I like the navy-blue. But, I think the factory only offers a handfull of colors...white, black, yellow, red, green, blue, silver and orange. Otherwise, I would probably opt for something around royal blue.
Right now, I am deciding on general items, like the engine and powerplant, turbo, instrumentation, cooling, and other more functional components. Hey, don't get me wrong...color is important. The GTR is an eye-catching machine and it's got to have the right color!

I think it looks OK, I do like the wheels. How about the Gulf colours? M.

indeed, nice wheels.. compromotive?
just rolled out my Sports into the sunlight...silver is still my favorite colour... 
I spent quite a bit of time researching different silvers before painting my car. I went with Millenium Silver used on the 2000-2002 Toyota 4-runner Limited Edition. It was also used by Lexus. There's a photo on the ultimaclub.us website, but to trully appreciate the colour you have to look at it in the sunlight. This stuff has a ton of coarse and fine metallic mixed into the basecoat. Damn expensive stuff. These cars have so many body curves that only a metallic or pearl trully does it justice (in my opinion). Looking at a solid red, blue, or yellow is nice, don't get me wrong, but add a metallic in there and you'll see two colours (light and dark) depending on the angle your looking at. Its really stunning on an Ultima. I'll add another photo of my car this week once I get my camera back.
Cheers!

ONE of the nice things about the GTR is, once it's rolling around Reno, I know there are only a couple of others within a couple of hundred miles. It's truly unique in a world of "me too" automobiles.
However...when it comes to color, it sure would be nice to see 5, or 10, or 20 GTRs side-by-side. Perhaps a trip to Hinckley, Leicester is in my near future!
