Colour idea wanted

So, after a minor accident, I'm thinking about respraying the entire car, being that I dont really like the factory dark blue, I'm thinking about changing it. Any ideas? A picture of a tipo with a really nice paintjob? A colour that suits him real nice? Thanks

Re: Colour idea wanted

White

really it depends upon what colours you like yourself. i'd advise against a dark green, though a light greeny/bluey is pretty nice, here it is purple might look ok (alfa pomme something or other) it looks good on 155's. can't find a pic right now. but it really is all about personal preference.
don't think yellow would look that good on a tipo though..

Re: Colour idea wanted

Nah Besbie, I'm afraid our preferences are completely different Don't fancy white, as a colour, and a friend has a white Tipo, and it really doesnt suit me. Purple on the other hand is one of the close candidates, this Ford Purple to be exact. A mate has it on his brand new Focus, abso****inlutely amazing.

Re: Colour idea wanted

what about a vehicle wrap with vinyl instead? you can have what graphics you want on it and its great protection for your car, will stop it going rusty.

Re: Colour idea wanted

Regarding the comment about the mazda - yes it is a mazda indeed, but ford has an identical colour, the one I was reffering to. Red is definately a colour that suits the Tipo nice, and is one of my favourite colours as well Wouldnt go for the blue, simply because a friend has one, light blue, almost pearl, looks great, but I want to be more original

Re: Colour idea wanted

graphite grey sound horrible but, seen a 5dr before and it looked smart.
