Alloys What Colour to Paint?

[pjg1979]

Hello Fello Micrateers,

I own a unusual coloured Micra of China Blue? Any way I'm wanting to pain the alloys but not sure what colour. I am thinking a pale lime colour or white but open to suggestions.

Here's my Car -

Colours I'm Thinking :

a) China Blue
b) Red
c) White
d) Pale Lime Green
e) Black
f) Light Blue

White (Y)

If you've got a bigger picture I'll photoshop the different colours for you..

White, because if you went for lime green, and had nothing else matching it, it would look a bit dopey.

But white is clean and simple.

 

[curtis]

yeh gotta be white!

 

[MicraFish]

Yeah white would deffo look the best.

I'm not keen on brightly coloured cars with their wheels painted the same, I think it looks too garish. Only with black on black cars does it look good! :grinning:

 

[Robert]

Not the best, but it's all i could do with that picture

White looks far better than any of the other IMO.

 

[MicraFish]

White and black both look good, but I think white takes it

 

[NeX]

if it was me i would go white,

then spray all the grey bits of the car white too and get clear indicators and take the orange bits out of the lights too

Excellent Job Robert, I would plan to do the Trim the same colour and the micra nostrels as well as the fog lamp covers that aren't there.

Photoshop CS2

There's a bunch of tutorials around for using photoshop, digimods is probably best if it's car related (Y)
