I have a small dilemma with my V8 mk3 cortina it due to come off the road next week for some erm body repairs  which are going to mean its gonna need a full respray . only problem is that I don't have enough of the current colour to do a full paint and its kinda hard to get hold of due to the cost and the fact its a custom colour so I'm looking at doing it a different colour . problem I have is that I can't picture it any other colour as I love the colour it is at the moment . I do have a couple of ideas but I'm no sure about them at the mo , if I change the colour it would need to be totally different as now similar colour will come close to being as good as the current shade  any ideas? |

Well, if you like the current colour then I'd suggest getting it done in the same colour again! Don't know if you get it on any cars over there, but it seems nearly identical to Ford Blueprint from the Falcon.  |

I agree, that if you like the colour and it certainly suits the car, perhaps it'd be worth the extra layout to get it just as you like it....
Although the 'blueprint' blue looks nice on that Falcon, and I always liked the Imperial blue from Racing Pumas and RS Foci/Mondeos.
Whats up with the body? It looked nice and straight at RRG, or is it flexing with the torque when you hookup?

A shame as there's something very, very right about the current colour scheme. Sure you'll come up with something just as eye-catching! (and there's a small photo of it in this month's Custom Car).

Depends whats gotta be repaired? Could u get away with some cool two tone effect? what I have to repair and other bits I want to do are going to mean a full bare metal respray 2 tone I have thought about but again can't think of anything other than my van  Gold or ford focus orenge focus orange is of the cards due to so many people doing it though I do like it gold is a possibility I recon asbo orange with a gloss/satin black roof. not keen on satin for any of my cars unless its a temporary paint job which i'm hoping this one won't be ;D 2009 Kawasaki motorcyle green... failing that repair it sod the paint and donate it to me! lol I do love a nice bright green and have done a few in bright green  but I don't think it would suit my one Well, if you like the current colour then I'd suggest getting it done in the same colour again! Don't know if you get it on any cars over there, but it seems nearly identical to Ford Blueprint from the Falcon. blueprint is more blue than mine but has a similar pearl to it. think i may have to look into that . i'm guessing its an XR6 BA falcon colour only gold is also on the short list for the totally different colour colour change |

as much as i like the sleeper look there are certain parts of the estate that just won't allow it it to pull off that look wheels are already sorted which reminds me the current wheels are for sale and yes all the tires are good the 2 bald ones have been replaced ;D £200 .
i've always been into pearl or mica or metallic paints so if it changes colour it need to stay one of the above
