best colour for 3000M
Discussion
Well,
my 3000M is Onyx brun 1359 a Peugeot colour.
During it's life it has had a few (or who knows) scrapes and each time areas have been blown in. Needless to say in various shades of brown. I found it very difficult to determine what it looked like when it left the Blackpool Rocket factory.
I've just recieved a spray can of "Brun Onyx 1359 Peugeot" and sprayed a formica panel to see the true colour.
A pity but i've decided i don't like "Onyx brun".
So the big question what is the best colour i can repaint my 3000M.
Maybe "Daytona Yellow" like the 1600M i sold or perhaps a nice rich "Red"
I would like to keep a cream Vinyl roof + Weather Shield.

I must say that looks nice.
I think i need to rub down a door or part of a wing and try the Onyx Brun on that with some lacquer to be sure. I have the beige Everflex panels all sewn and ready to glue on the roof. Also i have already replaced the Weather Shield with the same Everflex.
In the engine bay the paint is Onyx Brun from when it was built so it all matches.
The footwell carpets that i have made i have used some of the Beige Everflex for the piping on the edges which looks class.

Hi David,
my 3000M is 1976 and to my knowledge has never had a cream band. But later when the paint is rubbed down who knows.
It's funny you ask the question because when i bought the car i asked the same question to the vendor. He said he had owned the car since Oct 1981 and he was proud to say it has never had a Starsky and Hutch stripe. ha ha ha.
Do you think they look better with a stripe

I have bought Vinyl to recover all the roof and Weathershield as original.
I will remove all the fittings myself and recover the Roof + Weathershield after painting.
I think i will be busy for a while.
As i understand this will mean rubbing down to Gel Coat and Polyester Filler before Painting.
I'm just waiting for Estimates from 3 different Garages
