theres a place here in vic that can apparently do a paint scheme where its one colour when cold, another when hot... maybe try something like that? |

A harlequin paint would definitely be the way to go.
Blue and white looks great on TVR's... |

If I was ever to respray I would go for a shade between silver and gun metal lots of sparkle, i think lighter colours show the body curves/contours better than black or darker colours. And sharp red, yellow, orange look good too for stand out factor.
I have also thought about losing the body line down the side with that respray if it ever happens.

well my other soarer is a gunmetal grey colour (toyota seal grey)so i dont want another the same/similar colour, im thinking a standout colour like orange, i dont like red, and theres 2 or 3 yellow soarers in perth.
Joe that bodyline is way too prominent to remove without ALOT of work, no matter how nice the finished body would look |

Maybe not loosing it completely but smoothing it out so its not such a sharp deep indentation, one day i'll be the test dummy |

haha i bags not doing it but... even trying to smooth it a little would involve alot of cutting and welding to do it properly  - lets face it you dont want to just use body filler to smooth it - you would need about 6 tins of bog (4kgs each tin)...  it will fall out eventualy too ... |

Orange is gross on cars (reminds me of the General Lee) and will date badly. |

I think a light grey with a slight green tinge would look awesome. That's what I'd get mine painted with if I had the cash. |

You know what would be good was if every one that suggested colour had an example, not on a car just on a pallet |

I'm serious every ones idea of orange isn't going to be the same as yours, so just saying navy blue for example id have been thinking a much darker colour than the one shown above, anyway quite off topic any idea where i can get that body kit from ? |
