A big descision!
Discussion
Can anyone suggest a good colour scheme for a 2006 R300? It's had some work done on it and well.... its all bare ali, so potentially time to paint it another colour. A few considerations, origonal clour for resale etc, colour relative to year, should these be the decider...or should another innovative colour be chosen, one thats uncommon but still in keeping, or should soul take over?
It has been kingfisher blue

I like the Gulf colours, but thre's a few about now, so not quite as individual any longer.
I've always thought a Seven in the old John Player Gold Leaf colours of red white, and gold would look pretty cool.
Or if you like the more fashionable look, the pearl white, with lime green stripes looks well.
Of course you could go naked,and safe a couple of kilo's in paint.
It's a very personal choice, and at the end of the day, it's up to you to decide.

Allen, yes its a bit mind over soul! I had an R400 race car and it could be problematic sometimes..... plugs sooting up if you left it idling for more than a millisecond, coil pack failures, apparent fuel starvation on certain track corners (swirl pots etc fitted), but it handled and went like proper balls out racer, i sold it to a guy we all know in Germany, and it was the worst thing ive done. It was white..... this could be a tribute!! haha.
The green is a colour on the list, it would stand out and look the business....the search continues
There is a guy in the Mag 7's who has a red, white and gold schemed car and it looks good
Thanks for all your suggestions

have you thought about getting the car wrapped? could be worth a look. You could have something fairly outlandish and then just peel it off when the time comes. Also protects the side skins and panels.
This is a great idea, then you can change the colour every year. I suspect though that you'd need to paint the car to stop the ally corroding as I'm not sure the wrap would do it (at the edges as it were).Bert
This car was wrapped.

The green is a good shout definatly works.
This morning i bought some R300 decals, and "7" badge.....in blue. So i reckon the white root is going to happen. Is hall post some pics once sprayed and finished. Only question now is should i put CSR style cycle wings on, they do make the car look better front end?
