Roman bronze will suit sir nicely ;)

Keep it subtle, dark colours like state blue and ash go well against the chrome and rims. Really dark maroon metallic (like almost black) would look nice, as would pearlescent white I reckon :)

Always wanted to see a Scorp in Bronze, I think it would look cracking ;D

Regards, Bruce.

Too pale, looks ok on a Matiz but the Scorp is in a different class...and much bigger ;)

Give me a colour sample and I'll show you what it'll look like in 3D ;)

Got to admit I have a hankering for a silver scorp, or the few I have seen in black always get a second look.
However I did recently get a quote for a gold purple and green flip similar to comes as an option on some nissans. Was going to cost twice as much as the car is worth :'(

thats cool baz, can you do it in deep burgundy with copper flake?

Title: Re: colour opinions needed to stop row
Post by jonnycab on Feb 25^th, 2007, 2:09am

Baz....both those colours look lovely (how did you do it? )....but a mix of the two may be the ideal colour.....

A Gold/Copper kind of colour......Saturn Gold perhaps ?........ ;D....... ::)

It is a program called blackmagic. I got it ages ago to recolour black and white photos of my mum and dads wedding day!!

It overlays colours in the right shades etc. Not perfect for doing cars, but pretty good on b&W pictures!

I do like that MKI of yours Johnny.... My old man used to have 3 of them. One in monza blue 3.0 GXL (TTF973L) and two Royal Blue 3.0 Ghias (AHG 5R and HEY 553N) If only we'd had a garage big enough to dry store them!!
