Colour ideas

[Connor]

Yes its another one of those threads where the op has limited imagination but hey hoe. Anyways next winter my nova is coming off the road for a long awaited rebuild as being used as a daily from last summer through all the winter and not undersealing it (:roll: ) has taken its toll on the wee girl, many have seen it but those who havent, below is a picture of it, as much as i love the look of my car, keeping it as oem and period as poss when building it, well tbh i am just bored of it lol, and now being the age where insuring two cars is possible i want to go more motorsport influenced with it (so buckets, 6 point cage, minimalist dash etc) without having the worry of making it too uncomfortable and practical, i also intend changing the cars colour to something abit lairy :roll: :p :cool:

As you can see (as well as i like it) the oem white/grey bumper is abit of a boring combination
Now these are my top two colours so far
Kawazaki green with white wheels

Was thinking about satin black with bright orange features to give it abit of a hardcore look but when i look at cars with satin/matt black paintjob i think of chavy magee sitting up maccers with his rattle-canned matt black saxo lol

[Lewis.]

dont do it matt/satin, it never suits nova's. what about a dark gray, with bright coloured wheels/cage etc?

[Paul]

Keep it white but with lairy wheels IMO?

The liquid yellow is bloody awesome though!

+rep for that pic :)

[Hoochie]

Deffo the green......i think it really suits the nova, maybe with black wheels?

[davidfox280585]

pineapple yellow for me

[16v Nova Kev]

connor I was going to paint my track car 9gse ultimate green. But I'm not sure. cost wise Its a 2 stage paint as in a white base or primmer then a ground coat then the effect coat. I recon 300 for materials that includes laquer.

[Connor]

After thinking about it for a while, been thinking about paint and I think I am am going to have to go for a standard gloss colour as I will be painting it myself and I am far from a painter by trade lol, and yea Paul I always wanted a liquid yellow nova since seeing yours at pv, looked awesome in the sun and I was also thinking (if I was to keep it White) was to get colour coded gsi bumpers then painting them (as near as possible) to the famous 'bus pink' as I think merris gsi looks awesome. Hmmm glad I got ages to think about this lol.

[Connor]

Ps can someone post a pic of pineapple yellow something, I'm on my phone so cba with going on google on this
