~bangs head repeatedly on desk~

Color's the most important thing. It's what 100% of the people see. Not the interior, not the engine bay, the color.

WHY is it so difficult?

~sniff sniff~

Because you have to live with it once it's done for the next 10 to 15 years or spend booku bucks to have it fixed. I spent months trying to figure out the right color for mine. Then spent another hour or 2 at the body shop trying to find the exact shade I wanted. You have no idea how many different shades of met. grey there is in the color books.

Did anyone start a pool on what color Jaybird picked yet? I'm thinking either Sandy Beige or possibly Flamenco

So, what's "our" color? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
Since you're dead set agenst all my favorites, I still vote for OEW.
I just can't get over how dove gray looks like wet primer.
 
SUEDE, banjo, WET SUEDE.

Excellent news Jaybird!!

Congrats!

But Citron with a red interior??

It might look like someone hurt Big Bird /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Just kidding /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm a bit out of the loop,..is the color a secret?

Good luck !
 
I've not wanted to guess yet... I like surprises.... But....
Only Silver or grey would go good with a red top and interior IMHO.

OK, there's my guess. But once again, I'll state my preference for and early car...

Platinum Silver (metalic), maybe with a pearl clearcoat.
Bronze metalic - makes BGT's look like Bond Cars
 
We HAD a color chefarosa, but I just don't know now. Not so sure and Chuck's at a guys night bachelor party (one of the guys from the club is getting married) I'm sure John will try to talk him out of our color, and I'm sure a few others will try to talk him into something else, and I'm sure one or 2 will like the decision we originally made.

Actually, pale primrose with red looks good, saw an MG (or was it a Jag, they're so similar) somewhere last summer. Stewart's color gray metallic, silver, bedouin, sandy beige, pewter metallic...lots of colors look good with red interior.

Thinking I want the paint job to look like Bret's xray of his B. Think we can get it painted like that?

Sure, but you won't like the cost$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
 
But it WOULD be one of a kind, wouldn't it!?

I'd do that to my 3rd or 4th B if I had the resources and money. What a conversation piece!!

Pink. MG never had a pink or fushia (et al) color. Lilac, primrose, iris blue...other 'pastels' but no pink.
 
There are printing copanies that'd do ya some vinyl graphics cheaper that a repaint with the x-ray's on it! I think that'd defiately be unique! But, I'd have to add a lower-half of a human x-ray to the drivers door! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
Oh but of course.

Would be great to pick up a running beater and do that to it with those vinyl wraps.
