Hi all

My Alfetta is starting to have bubble spots and flaking at some "common" places and was thinking of repainting the car with different colour...

I know each to their own as far as colours are concern... but need yr opinion so that can help me narrow down on some suitable colours?

Here is my car now (looks a lot nicer in the pics than in real life :P )





Opinions please? Ferrari Red? Light Silver? Black? Cream/beige? ???

Cheers

The colour it is looks pretty good - probably hard to improve on that. Plus if you keep the colour on it you will save a lot of extra labour/cost by not having to do inside the engine bay, boot and door jams.

Have fun whichever way you go - all the best with it.

I agree with Storm, same color just a little lower would look good.

Nigel suggestion of Nipple Pink would be an interesting look.  :D

i think black with yellow strips my 90 needs a little cousin, other wise a metalic maroon this colour is unreal and it was a factory colour with the 90's not sure on other eailer models

The current colour looks very nice, you could leave it

I agree with David white 75 Twinsparks look great might look good, or the white paul suggested was umm nice too, not gonna say anything about
size as I know what happened last time  ;D

A mate of mine restored his Alfetta in Dutch Blue looked fantastic, but im not biased

Red or silvers nice - Im going now because im not helping
