Chassis colour...

[atom120]

I've got to decide on chassis colour for the new car in the next week or so. Original plan was to have it unpainted, but Arch are struggling to get the clear lacquer to adhere to the bare metal properly. Which leaves a few options:

- Black (pain to clean - though I'm sure Ross would give me a hand)
- Graphite (to match the Dymags)
- Gold (Simon suggested this - similar to Ducati frames)
- Yellow (great, but would get dirty quickly, and no resale value...)
- Lime Green (ditto above)
- Silver (the sensible option)

Any thoughts?

How about having it Chrome plated?

What colour are you having the cowl and nose?

Ariel have already had that requested before - it was a no go.

Depends on what colour the chassis ends up being - panels can be spec'd later! Gold chassis would be with red panels (Ducati) - silver chassis would be with yellow panels (same as my old one). Whatever it is, it needs to be visable on track - hence an all black or all graphite car is out of the question!

Just wondering if anyone had any novel suggestions!!

Angie=babe,

Get in there and ask for pink it would go a treat with the lippy.

How about white to match the van and Triumph!

I think I would consider resale values...

For that reason, I'd go with Black or Silver frame and play with the nose and cowl (a lot easier to change if you don't like it!).

With the black, orange would look good - but then I would say that wouldn't I! As would the yellow you have now.

With silver, maybe go for something like TVR purple/blue/ green flip paint... or they also do a nice red/yellow/orange one too...

Or, you're young... go for a rossi helmet style graphic. That would be VERY cool.
