What colour script would you recommend?

[twobone]

I saw a nice early 80s coupe that had a very retro 80s Porsche script on it much like Jack Olsen's. It was beige over brown.

I'm really torn for my car. The colour is dark metallic blue.

I originally thought of black for the script, but that might be too sublte, but white might be too much.

What would you guys suggest. What would be a cool contrasting colour? Dark or light grey maybe?

I'd say a dark to medium gray. Very nice looking car BTW!

If you're going for authenticity, here's something you may want to consider:

[twobone]

Yeah Darryl, I know...if I had my way, I would not have metallic paint...but a re-spray is not in the works.

I like the medium grey suggestion.

Also my car is an 81 and so a script is a bit of a stretch anyways...but who cares...its my car

[DarrylD]

Ok, I'd recommend one that matches your paint exactly... Less is more.

[MovOvr1]

I like your car the way it is....however, if you are going to do the script, I would go with black to match the fuchs, or the medium gray is a good option.

metal flake gray

Thought this might help. I think you could do quite a few colors if you matched your Fuchs to the stripe color.

[scottb]

Definitely gray. Contact MikeZ here on the board. He makes graphics, and can tell you what colors he's got availble.

[Eric Coffey]

Black. It will match your Fuchs centers, and all the other black/rubber bits.

Viper green and signal orange were the two colors that came up most often a few years back at the R Gruppe Cambria party when I asked what color I should use on my Iris Blue early car.

What color is that, looks nice !
