Need suggestions.
I am repainting my car. I never really wanted a black one, just bought it based on mechanical condition and price. The paint is fubar, rusty arches and boot. Stone chips that are rusty on every panel. Theres 1 million scratches and only
Option is to repaint (spoken to Rich)
So.
I can't afford to go to town on it and paint it flip paint and custom retrims etc. So the exterior has to work with the interior which is black and the roof which is black. Money no object I would repaint velvet blue with champagne interior and blue roof.
So basically due to it being hens teeth on Evo's and cheaper than black I want Alpine white see here:
(ok some of these aren't convertibles but you get the idea)
There's always one photo that does it, or made you want it and it's this:
Looks so square and clean.
The alternative is either red but that's not that rare and Ferrari pastel grey. The latter I'm worried will make the car look too modified when I
After an OEM look.
Suggestions please! Photos help

Is the bay being painted? If not id go with black again but that's because im fussy.
Saying that because the car is black at the min it won't be TOO bad and white does look spanking

That imola one looks amazing
Imola is better than Helrot as theres only one official convertible that colour!! (in the uk)
Mrs Jambo HATES the white as does her sister. I can see why, my mate reckons it will look too Abu Dhabi. But I just look at the boxy white hard top and want to start painting it now!!
Engine bay won't be painted straight Way, everything else will. I'd like to point out its not a modded car or show queen or a StAnCe car. Just my pride and joy I'm keeping untill I can afford an Esprit.

LSB I like. But it will look poop against black leather and might be a bit "loud" if you get me.

White cheapens it and makes it look like something you would see in America IMO.
I still like that green you posted a while back, jade green or pastel green iirc?
Either that or Imola
