On the fence with this one
I've seen this car around lately, what's you're take? I know the early 70's muscle cars had some loud colors, but really??? I love Mexico blue....

Just the other day, I remember reading a post somewhere bemoaning the fact that Porsche seemed to have 15 shades of silver and gray, but very few colors like this.
Maybe that's because owners seem to have aged over the years. The cars with the "jelly bean" color pallet seem to be entry level hatchbacks. I say "Bring on the colors!" I too love Mexico Blue. Re the Vette in the op: I would like to see it with an orange top too. ![]() Best Les

I'm another one who is tired of all the neutral colors. Most parking lots look like a black & white photo.
Looking at colors for my project truck now. Hoping to need sunglasses at night it will be so bright. |

I love bright colored cars. I'm also one sick and tried of the mundane silver, white, black, grey etc. that you mostly see now days.

I dig the orange, but it looks like a matte orange wrap. I can't get into the matte colors, I love a clean polished paint job that I can see my reflection in.
If I bought a new Jeep, it would be this color: ![]()

I've always liked orange and yellow cars. So yes, I like it!
If the 02 gets painted, Inka it will be.

I guess that picture doesn't show it as bright as it really is. This car is hunter safety orange!!!! I think it's wrapped, not paint. It has a dull finish too.

The Vette needs either grey or black stripes of some sort to break up all the orange. But I like it. Dark grey would look good. On Todd's truck, silver would look good.

I'm with Matt, that 'vette looks like it's been plasti-dipped.
I've seen worse colors.

My first car was a 1989 Opel Kadette Rallye in Orange! Chick magnate, not quite, but I did get compliments on the color.

Older Porsches are more fun.
