re-spray thoughts

Please keep this on topic.

My car is going in for a full respray near the end of the year.

Im starting to wish I never bought a black car now, so mush so im not keen on getting it painted black.

Now I had an idea,

I thought maybe a cream colour may be nice…

or a Red colour like the red cabbies you can get.

Sensible thoughts appreciated.

will you be keeping the black roof, or will the roof be changed to suit the new colour?

Colour changing a car is a very labour intensive job, everything and i mean everything has to be stripped off or unbolted for it to resemble even a 1/2 decent job, just think, door shuts, engine bay 8O , boot space 8O  such a tricky job to prep and finish its ok if your doing a full resto starting with a bare shell

original looking cars in original colours always make the best re sale money imo

why dont you like the black?

black cabbies are probably the least common of them all, as all the ones i ever seem to see are the sportlines

probably keep it.

as its not that old.

i think its just because it gets dirty so easily.

i may keep it black, just hate cleaning it like twice a week!

its having a full job, the engine is coming out, roof off interor out etc.

no mucking about.

Here's something to look at, except change the rabbits for monkeys….

Well, my tintop is currently Mars red BUT i'm getting it re-sprayed back to it's original colour White but i'm thinking MK5 White.

White cars are coming back big time!

Nath, it'd be cheaper to sell it and buy one in the colour you want… lol

My trouble is a hate washing cars so no matter what i have it ends up grey n dirty, so that why a silver ones just arrived.. lol

As to colour of cabby, if your going to hassle of changing,t hen go with something not normally seen, you know what Wendy's suggestion will be  Purple n Black

Personally tho I think yours looks sweet, I'd keep the black, but I'd have subtle hints of colour in places

keep it black i no its a pain to keep clean, but when they are clean they look spot on

Go mental, get something different and original

always go for the origional colour mate, i know black is a hard colour to keep clean, ive had two black cars, but when they are clean they look the shiz. have you tried using different products to help keep it clean? also with the weather atm, it dont matter what colour your car is its gonna get filthy!!

I would like to say keep it black BUT i would love to see a gunmetal porsche grey cabriolet with a nice black roof and a black leather interior, my car is very dark green I have a similar issue but i love washing my car so i dont mind lol
Go on go mad!! get good with photoshop and then u can see what it will look like.

Chuck me some pictures of your car and I'll see if I can do some colour options of stuff you have in mind at some point, I'm canny handy with the photochop

thats true steve, but i know mine is mechanically sound now and you dont see many red ones up for sale. Maybe I will keep it black, im just undecided as usual.

Heres my black cabby, Is a pain to  keep clean but looks good.

Think you should get yours done whatever colour you like if you can afford to get it all painted then why not.

I like the black, but something different would be good…… black with a hint of something maybe.

i saw a renault clio earlier that was balc but when you looked closer it had like gold sparkley bits in the paint as a factory extra... looked really nice....not ott.

sparkly bits are cool. Am about to repaint my wheels an wanted to do them black with sparkly but couldnt find any paint

go for something which will make you stand out from the rest
