Re: 72 Hotrod - my new project
I really like the Aubergine, but for something a bit more aggressive - not necessarily a daily drive..
Aside from Light Ivory (which has really grown on me - gives the car a great classic look; especially with the black and silver plates), I'd have a day-to-day runner in Slate Grey. Great colour for driving about town - doesn't shout 'look at me', a sort of understated class.. best combo for the yellow lights too! imho..

Auberine is good, especially with the torq thrusts:

Re: 72 Hotrod - my new project
A colour that would show up everyday dirt though and needs to be clean and polished to look good

Not, you're right Ralph. And those wheel centres are painted Aubergine....Ralph wrote:That's not black is it ? Are my eyes playing up?

It's like zanzibar red - the sort of heinz 57 orange of the original 996 GT3 UK launch car - can look great in the sun all polished but looks butt ugly the rest of the time...
