What color should I paint my RSR project?
 
What color should I pain my RSR project?

The car came black from the factory and has remained this way its whole life. This is a track car not a show car however the car is very clean.

Could the change of color effect the resale price?

I was thinking about Gulf Blue or Metallic Blue to match my companies colors. But then I could always paint metallic blue stripes on a black car.

Opinions please... I need to decide by March 15th...

Only do a color change if it can be done correctly.
Resale price? We don't build these cars with resale in mind!;)

Adding the blue stripes would be fun. That's how I voted.

Are you talking about the black car with gunmetal bumper/ lower vallance/rockers? If so I would not go for a '70's color. I love it the way it is. I'd probably add a touch of collor in the form of stripes if I had to.... Any larger picks you can post?

If black was it's original color, I'd stay with it! Besides, I like mine in BLACK!!

Rick V 02-22-2007 02:24 PM

Well I like the black but if you are going to change the color I would consider Aubergine.............Thats just me.

Blue metalic with Black stripes sounds interesting.

I like the black with metallic blue stripes. I hate opening doors/hood and seeing another color... I think it will be the most 'cost' effective... but then again who thinks about cost? (insert wife)

Yes but the fiberglass needs allot of attention plus who doesn't love the 73 RSR look... Plus I can't wait to see what the 996 GT3 Style Duck Tail looks like on the car.

I'll post some pics in a week or 2...
