Color combo?

Post by EKSPCL »

Just wondering if there was an original color combination including a 'pale' yellow and an 'eggshell' or 'off' white color, not a bright white :?:

Thanx Thropzed,

I think Satellite Yellow will be the color for the top half, above the strip.

Still undecided between Gredian White and Snowcrest White for the bottom half.

From what I can gather I think Grecian White may be the 'creamier' color of the two :?:

I know this isn't an original combo, but what do you think Satellite Yellow would like above Honey Beige :?:

my vote

stick with the white/ off white... i think it will look mushy with honeybeige & satellite yelow...

where as the satellite & snowcrest or Gredian white would look like a cleaner, sharper finish

my two cents...

Found this FB on site.

These, I think are what I'm looking for

Then I found this with 'Google'

This is the look I'm after. Does anyone know where this machine is from?
Exactly what I was imagining mine to look like, but 4 doors, pinstripe and all!

Yep, its a local Perth car . PM Chopped, he knows how to get in touch with the owner. It was in Street Machine a few years ago, you may be able to get some details from the mag.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
