Standard colours ....

[Mk2Jo]

Do you think that we should keep to the standard colours on our Old Skool Ford's ?

 

Well done to all those brave people who decide to make their cars just a little bit different ... especially with radical colour changes .... I wish I had the guts to do it ..... and I really like this:

I would have kept mine the original colour but it was just too dull for me. If your wondering it was oyster gold and now its a bright vista orange! One of the hardest decisions i made was which colour to have it.

[Pye Man]

The next escort I do im planning on changing the colours but keeping them Ford (well there maybe a certain german manufacturer colour in there)

 

Guess its all down to taste. Plus colours arent forever they can be changed

[martymk1]

kept mine bog standard, think it looks good in ermine white

[noz aint cheating]

Bright colours are the way to go i think, you cant beat a car thats had a recent spray job that jumps out and catches your eye.

 

I once saw a bright pink fiesta though , thats taking it too far!

rattle can black

Mine is the original colour but if I was to build another one I would probably change it and even go for something non-ford! There are better colours out there

[Copey]

Diamond White all the way for me!!

Keeping on of our standard colours, the Estate is probably going from Lagoon Blue to Monaco red and white, and the Super I fancy in Dark Green (Goodwood Green or similar) with a gold roof, gold strip and gold minilites, what d'ya reckon?

Sounds good to me

terracotta its original and stands out. best of both worlds

[negri]

really depends on the car and what its going to be used for .

 

i would change the colour of mine all the time if it wasnt so expensive to do .

 

but if you have an unmolested low mileager then i would keep it original

[FlashCadillac]

be a bit different... do what you want to it!!! whats the point if everyones car is the same

[surfingturnip]

it's your car, so paint it to reflect yourself is what I say.......be it bold screaming 'here I am' or traditional and low key

[RETRO_AL]

paint them as they should be from the factory

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NAH DONT BOTHER ITS BORING

[MightySprocket]

im going for a modern twist on an old design, using new colours to re-create what ford did... you'll have top wait and see what it is

[pelvins]

go for the personal touch your own choice

[V8ian]

I much prefer stock colours, BUT saying that there are some modern colours that have worked well, the obvious one that come to mind is Stetcops Mk1 Cortina in Moonstone, I had been told what colour it was before I saw it and thought that will never work, but all credit to him, it looks the nuts,

Factory race colours can also work well, but, and its a big BUT, The colour has to suit a car, it can so easily make or break a Good car to a "What the fook is that"

At the end of the day its down to the owner of the car, After all its their pride and joy

[LUKE261]

i like any colour really stock or different, i chose 2 paint my anglia with a modern colour that was my choice sometimes i wish id gone for a stock ford colour of the era and sometimes im glad i painted new shape vauxhall tigra convertible blue. origionally i wanted it st orange but it was a 3 stage pearl n would cost a fooking fair wack.
