Question confused about colour!

First off I would just like to say a big hello to all as I'm new to this site..

My question is.... My car is going in to my work for a full re-paint the first weekend of April and I am thinking of the new focus RS ultimate green with black bonnet, black centre part of spoiler with back edge green on the back lip...

Or do I stay with the same colour???!!!

If you guys could tell me what you think or colours you think I should go for that would be grand.

Thanks for your time

Martin..... (If in doubt flat out)

Welcome

What colour is your car to start with?
Remember that changing the colour may restrict your resale value to a very small group (and I mean very small) making it harder to sell on.

Give us a picture of how your car stands. As above, I love it on the RS. Could work but can't invision it.

If I could afford to get a full respray, White would be my only choice

As said above the rs green is very nice, But not on a scoob

Welcome aboard, I am sure I know your car but I cant think where from.
If it was a colour change then I would go for Audi white (whatever the correct name is) RS green will be great if its a show car but day to day, and for resale I think you might suffer with the that choice.
Ultimately remember, its your car if its the right colour for you then its the right colour.

How about this...



I like it - a lot... if I were getting a respray I'd go for this colour.

Mind you, haven't seen one in Focus-esque green with black stripe, so not sure how that would look

The car will be a full re- spray as its striped down ready to make a start tomoz..

I know white is this years colour but it just doesn't take my fancy. Don't get me wrong I love the colour on a scooby (my two before have bin white).

I have just this min finished painting a crud suzuki in a really nice cadbury blue with a wicked purple flip to it. Could be tempted but seeing the one above in what looks to be the same as rovers night fire red. That does look very tasty indeed

Can I just say thanks for all your time

going for a new colour means a lot more man hours and therefore cost. there are some great camo colour schemes i,ve seen on here. depends if you want to do something different, j
