What colour? :-k

[v1xz]

Just wanted to ask what colour people would want there MR2 in if it was time to respray?

My heart is set on Glossy Black but my mind is saying Glossy White would look good too.

What do you think?

[shinny]

Don't need to respray... I already have mine in the best colour! 8B6 Caribbean Blue:



Compare that with the white in the background. White is lame... and dirty... and makes your car look like a bus!

[MR2 Rich]

SMG is my favourite colour for a 2. Do miss my turquoise NA. One of each maybe.

This thread may as well be "what colour is your car?"

Regarding a respray, unless you're going for engine out and everything out of the frunk etc, then paint the car the same, or a similar colour to the original colour. That way, you don't open the engine lid and have a different colour to the exterior etc.

Pretty much

+1

Unless the car was originally black, in which case you can pretty much do what you want, because a black engine bay or frunk etc. won't draw your attention to the respray in the same way a yellow engine bay on a green car would

Best colour, IMO of course

great comments...
think i better look at the colour red!

I have a black and smg one and the smg is much nicer. However if I was to respray it would have to be either white or yellow.

I have a yellow tbar with the roof line painted black like the silver shadow. I like this and the black roofline breaks up the yellow somewhat.

I have been considering a respray as my paintwork is shocking and i'm leaning towards mica orange.

As for the engine bay and frunk, mine are both grey and look like they haven't ever been painted even tho the car has been resprayed the original steel mist grey and then the yellow in its lifetime. So did the rev 1 (mine is rev 1) come with a grey frunk and engine bay or was this import only thing or has mine had those sprayed grey at some point?

Could do with a spare bootlid haha

If you consider what colours are popular on the roads, a lot of them will easily blend into the scenary in common weather/light conditions.

Then consider red. Fire engines are much easier to spot in general and I guess they have less collisions caused by other road users not see them

Then consider Super Red 2 (3E5).

Mines due a respray (Red's turned pink and flaking). Been thinking about just getting it wrapped in a ridiculous colour for lolz. Any recommendations?

[dexter]

If you ask me be outrageous, it's the type of car that can pull off an 'out there' paint job.

[glen n]

That was when my car got painted. If you keep on top of it red can stay nice and shiney. I did love my black mr2 though I must say.

[Marf]

6M1

[Rob66]

Think for me it would be Red or Zircon Blue

[Adam86]

For me it's white and my cars red.

My first one was white though. But I wasn't going to stop red stopping me from buying a good turbo.

[Mullen]

I rather like Lambo's orange or green... or british racing green... or the Gulf GT40 orange & blue... and matt black, oh and purple and green.

Fortunately a proper respray/wrap is well out of reach so will be sticking with regular black for the forseeable.
