love the colour

Love the way sunlight reflects all those colour tones - there is a quite a difference in depth between the indoor shot and the outdoors one.

This should come up sweet.

Thank's Tezza43,Kynan,Kane,it's one diffrent colour Have got a colour idea for a 32 roadster,got to find colour for the T-bird seat's, any idea's.

A light caramel/coffee shade with a touch of orange in it.
Maybe an orangey cream?

Damn, now i'm hungry. Creme Brulee anyone?

Yeah definitely. A cream/ivory/tan colour will complement the orange well.

It's causing me some concern that we seem to be agreeing on colours here Fred.

so milk coffee colour with bit of orange,Oh top of dash is the same colour as body.

Al,that just pop's right out at you in the sun you made the right choice for this one instead of the blue.

Cheers Tony.

Hi Allan, wotta bout pearl white for your trim work and top choice on the colour....

Ya Tony the blue just looked so plain,Geoff now that maybe away to going,do the seats white them coat of pearl on top,Tamiya has clear pearl that turns any colour into a pearl colour.

Mid life crisis?

I CAN do subtle complimenting colours. I just choose not to. I think that wearing a hi viz shirt every day has desensitized my colour sense...

just painted the chassis,engine,seats for this one got to touch up the orange on a few spots.

Cant wait for more pic's on this one Allan....what wheels and tyres are you running

thank's Geoff,still thinking on wheels for this one,me stuffed the paint up trying to touch the roof,boot. bonnet don't know what to do now.

Allan,just slice it back again mate and repaint it and all will be fine.

Cheers Tony.

Hey Allan, if you dont want to sand it back,you can get this liquid stripper called ELO easy lift off to strip the paint off. Its made by Polly S and it works really well. I use the stuff alot HTH.

had a re-think about this one and the colour,like the candy colour going to make a small change to it,will be going with Titanium silver base colour then going with clear red top coat, now for some fine warm weather, watch this space.

was going to buy some more paint for T-bird but wife said NO use what you have got,so have looked and found I have a bottle of nail enamel almost the same colour as the orange,now to buy some GP thinners with out her knowing can always say me need to clean airbrush out with it ,that worked last time.

Good to hear your keeping at this one mate! Cant wait for some pics
