Indecisive

[lee 16v]

I'm being very indecisive about what to do with my nova.

I'm a paint sprayer and I want to paint my car but cant pick a colour, I picked a nice purple and soon got bored of it after I painted a new door. I used it as a test to see if I liked the colour before I painted the car, and I didn't. So then I picked to do the car a nice red and then changed my mind to white.
now I'm stuck with red or white.
Also its on speedline alessio 2s but I also have a set of Vectra super-touring wheels and I can get hold of the stuff to do the 5 stud pretty cheap.

So really I don't know what colour to paint it or what wheels to keep, or what colour to paint the wheels.
If I keep the speedlines I think either silver or dark grey and the super-touring wheels should be white.

I want the car to look clean and smart but not boy racer. It would be nice if it would stand out but with out looking tacky.
Its a GTE if that's any help, and I want to keep the body standard and I will be putting all the stickers back on as it was from new.

The thing about speedlines are everyone has them and the centre caps can be nicked easy and they aint easy to get new ones.
I could also drop down to some 15" wheels I guess

If you paint it back to standard it will stand out these days as there thin on the ground and worth more

wheels super ts of you can

[Andy]

Agreed,not just on a value point but keep its original colour,theyre too rare.

[lee 16v]

Its a really boring grey at the mo, I really don't like the colour.

[Andy]

What about a modern grey you do like?

[lee 16v]

None, I had it in my head I was going to paint it before I even looked at it lol

Well your a painter is anything ever right be honest? lol

it may not look nice if your saying the paints not the best but the color and car look nice and as gtes go if that's it's colour then it's rare I think

[Andy]

best gte colour imo!
Followed by calypso red

[lee 16v]

The only 3 upsides for keeping it the same colour would be
A. its the right colour to the colour code
B. I could paint it bits at a time, ie I could do the worse bits like the roof and bonnet, then do a side at a time. It would look a bit odd if I done that in white or red haha.

3?
where is c.

[lee 16v]

woooops

C. Its cheaper to paint it in white or red.

I remember went i was looking to first paint mine. I wanted black or white... A friend said to me. Why go with no colour, when there are such fantastic colours out there.... That day i set on Arden blue.

White is poo. Red is great, but there are lots of red Novas about. That grey is different and nice. If you wanna update it look at Toyota grey colours, they are really nice, heavy metalic too so pop like crazy in the sun.

[lee 16v]

I have a grey A3 that's a nice grey, but still wouldn't pick it to paint my car that colour.
If I went for a none nova colour it would be MG trophy blue.

[blue_peg_16v]

Suzuki pink lol

[Dan Stanley]

How about Lazer blue? Its a lighter metallic blue than Arden blue. That was a GM colour option on (late) GTEs and probably the rarest. I've only ever seen two of them. It'd look nice on anthracite grey wheels and decals as well.

[scott.parker]

Option D. Sell me the car then you can spray a 1.2 any sodding colour of your choice!
lol but seriously keep it original.

[lee 16v]

It dont look so nice here.

[scott.parker]

All it needs is different colour wheels, and strips back into the bumpers imo
