This is my torry

My cousin(who is a panel beater) offered to do all the spraying for me so i defenitly took the offer.
My question is what colour should i paint it? I know that im going to use acrylic paint because its my daily driver and i want to be able to patch up easly. I plan to leave it flareless, spoilerless and have pretty big rims (17s-19s)
Anyone got any suggestions? I defenitly wouldnt mind it if my car ended up looking like Hearnes...... i love the way his colour looks on LH/LXs

Mate, you really can't go wrong with a bright metallic colour... Orange, Green, Blue, Yellow, they all look good.

As much as I love orange, and I will probably paint my hatch similar to Hernes it is very well used on toranas at the moment
Maybe a nice blue or you dont see too many yellow torries around.

Blue has also become a pretty common colour on them. A bright yellow would look good

Any bright, solid, acrylic colour should look great. Nothing dull or dark, or too pale.

Or Royal Plum

Your car currently looks to be Contessa Gold.

I have seen the same colour ( Contessa Gold) with a pearl through it and it looked beautiful. It would be a very nice look. A lot less work too.

My two bobs worth!
