Best colour for a V8S with a green interior
Discussion
Evening all.
The small rear end knock is rapidly turning into a full respray. Fortunately the other party admitted liability, so the majority of the cost is being covered.
I have been advised that to make my car look as it should, not half and half, I should really go the whole hog. So, what do you all reckon.
The car has green carpets and a beige seat / liner combo, pretty much standard for a BRG car. What colour would you go for.
Oh, I would like to keep it in historical context, no 3 way flip/flop pearl candy combos, unless that is really your taste. I can't afford the extra paint.
Any pics of examples would be appreciated, I will be choosing the colour in the next few days.
Lets make the bast of a bad situation,

Personally I'd stick with the existing colour - changing colour involves quite a few compromises unless you're seriously tearing the car apart to paint every bit - for example the engine bay would be a different colour as you're going to struggle to paint it without stripping it.
My opinion for what its worth anyway.

They are taking the whole front off to tidy up some bits for me, doors are coming off, roof off, screen rubbers out, so really any colour is available.My opinion for what its worth anyway.

What colour is it now - green I assume?
I know you're against going for a flashy colour but how about using your existing colour as a base but with some of the metal flake effect stuff added? (I'm a paint expert can you tell?)
Done right the metal flake effect can look amazing in my view.
Plus the advantage of using something close to your existing colour means the engine bay etc wouldn't look out of place if it doesn't all get fully painted.
I'd go for something slightly custom, but thats just me I guess!
