Orange is the new grey? Chassis restoration question

[eye121]

Hello all

My Tuscan mk 1 went in to my friends at TrackvRoad for a service and is going to be coming out with a body-off chassis rebuild, rebush etc.

I am drawn to orange powder coat for the chassis and wishbones. Is this sacrilege? Will I have to be buried in it? The body is Azzurro nuvola, the Alfa pearlescent light blue. I don't want to sell it ever but would it put you off?

Hi all

Yes, polybushing.

I was a bit concerned that it would look a bit emetic to see orange wishbones when the parked front wheels are turned but it's a bit like the custom loud cans - makes me smile so why not?

Thinking traffic orange RAL 2009 or luminous orange RAL 2005.

Yes, it'll certainly be obvious that the chassis has been done

Hi again

Sorry Leerdam, had considered a more expensive sparkly finish but have reached my limit of 'might as well while we're in there' man maths reasoning.

Yes, photos as soon as I have any, both of the rusty bits on the outriggers and the new tangoed look.

It's an early Tuscan and I have driven in the snow a bit (winter wheels) so probably not surprising to see a bit of corrosion
